AndrewBrown's comment works both ways of course.
One of the loudest cheers at the vote leave meeting was for my comment that I was the oldest person in the audience NOT to have been given the chance to tell Harold Wilson where to shove his EEC by virtue of being mere weeks short of the voting age on the day his referendum was held.
Who knows, had I and the many like minded if my age then had a vote we might have been spared 45 years of hell
But Bentley and Pacifico highlight the main issue.
If one is 'mature' enough to exercise a say in who runs this country, why are they not mature enough to do those other things taken from them by the nanny state. Blair took away the ability of a sixteen year old to buy a knife to cut their wedding cake. Labour then campaigned tirelessly to ban their ability to get married in the first place.
Corbyn and Starmer both demand we recognise that Islamist bitch Begum and her pals who have been removed from the gene pool were too young to know what they were doing when they rushed to the Levant to spread their legs Angela Rayner style for an ISIS terrorist or six, yet feel they are old enough to vote labour.
Clegg of course made it the law that boys now unable to marry were old enough to be buggered, AND forced the police to expunge any record of older men buggering them when it was a criminal act to do so on the grounds it no longer was a criminal act to do it now.
The hypocrisy of those finding ways to extend their power know no bounds
