16 Year Old Teenagers Demonised by the Government?

[Heltor Chasca]

Today my oldest daughter received her National Insurance No.

She can: (reduced)

Be detained
Have a mature relationship
Get married
Leave Home
Get a job
Join the army
Fly a glider
Play the lottery
Drink but not buy alcohol
Ride a moped

Pay Tax

But NOT VOTE!

I can tell you now she has a far better handle on current affairs than those monkeys in parliament who run the zoo.

 

[AndyRM]

Move to Scotland.

 

[Crackle]

Move to Scotland.

Drastic!

 

[Beebo]

Push it back to 24.

Have you seen the thread on this issue in Current Affairs section here?

You have a point, but then ALL their responsibilities should be put back including paying tax to the thieving parasites.

Nope. I have a teenage daughter. I deserve my own soap box.

Nope. I have a teenage daughter. I deserve my own soap box.

And your own sink and toilet.

I am of the opinion that the 2016 EU referendum was gerrymandered by excluding young people who are far more pan -European than Daily Mail readers.
Any second referendum should include people like your daughter.

To imply that all leave voters are narrow-minded and racist is as bad as saying all youngsters are obsessed with Facebook and have no idea about national or international affairs.

Just before reading this thread I posted a picture on the 'thought provoking picture' thread - 100 years this year since some women got a vote

 

[IBarrett]

She can drink but not buy alcohol. What kind of daft message is that sending?

That it's someone else's round.

 

[Electric_Andy]

Who implied that on this thread?

As it is, the evidence seems to point very much in that direction when you look at the reasons people gave for voting leave...

ok I'll re-phrase it. I voted leave but I do not read the daily mail. I did not vote leave because of immigration, immigrants or because I agree with the likes of the DM or the EDL. I shall end it there before it becomes political. All I ask is for people to consider that not all leave voters are daily mail readers...and not all fit that stereotype

But are all Daily Mail readers leave voters ?
