This. I think I'll be in work on the Friday utterly knackered but relieved that they've gone. |

"Indeed so many people aren't interested any more that they don't even bother to vote. Most 16 year olds don't see futher into their future than the next fun thing, seeing their girlfriend, the next football match etc. " ...so give the vote to the youngsters, try to engage them and see if we get an increase in voting and political engagement. they can't be any worse than the general poulation, going by the statistics. |

Utter arrant nonsense. EU and NATO are two different organisations. Supporting an autocratic kleptocrat is not a good look ...well except for the modern day right wingers desperate power at any cost. I thought you were better than that but you proved me to be misguided. |

It's the 21st century. A secret boys club is just as much an aethema to the modern era as ancient religions. |

So I guessed correctly that you were referencing the frontal lobe , cool. You could have told us from the start as you were already aware of the article because years ago the ago was thought to be lower. I didn't say 30, I said closer to 30 and that came from a com.ent my wife made to me months ago when she told me what she had read in an article. Also I didn't state that you opposed voting for the age group due to fear. You also added a lot of strawman topics...drinking, the military etcetera. I didn't equate youth voting with adulthood, I just pointed out how easily we can be duped or persuaded otherwise which is applicable to all and that there is no biological line in the sand date which endows us with the ability to select politicians or governments so maybe letting the next generation start dipping their toes in setting out their future rather than relying on old bustards carrying on making things worse for the future. |

I suspect that you are talking about the frontal lobe...they have revised the age estimate to closer to 30. Do you honestly believe that they are much different to .any in their twenties when it comes to knowledge and experience? What knowledge, what experience? It's been shown that people of all ages and intellectual capacities get taken in by smooth operators...which is what modus operandi many modern "politicians" use. So the truth is many of those that oppose it do so out of fear. |

I suspect that it's an attempt to get young people interested in politics as a way of stemming the general voter apathy. |

The fact that conservative electorate (small c) cling lovingly to that fact but never mention the Truss"budget"/act of national self harm. |

Your last line is arrant nonsense. Somewhere on here someone post a list of Blair's government laws. It's impressive reading by any standards. |

Christ on a bike Rayns! Two things. What the heck did Corbyn to run the country for 14 years. Answer is NOTHING, he had nothing to do with the last 14 years of abject mis-management by the Tories. And why wouldn't Starmer back his part's leader for an election? Right wing parties all over the planet get behind their leader and nothing is said but when a centrist gets behind his party's leader (a lefty) they are to be blamed for the ruling party's failings. You are sounding as one-eyed as Felix or Flash. Wow, just wow! |

It also triggered the first of the women landowners...the death of the father and son(s) meant there was no one to run the land unless they let the women take over. not sure if I remember correctly but under the laws of the time the land was supposed to be put up for sale but the crops were so important and the country was stretched for workers. |

He'll probably eff off to The States and make a lot on the conservative talking-heads circuit and do interview and background commentary for Fox "news". |
