The state the country is in, I would encourage children of 16 to turn their backs and look the other way
So the Manchester Airport thugs have finally been brought to stand trail Under Starmers Stazi and looking at other far less violent cases, they should be getting about 5 years custodial sentence as a minimum Any other verdict will be a betrayal of any sort of justice
in amongst all the exams they take and lessons they have that we never did both GD's groups had a very high percent of college and uni so none are actually "thick" both GD'S have passed out on their college / further education with Flying colours and so have at least 4 of the 7 / 8 used to come round our house and enjoyed a drink / bite to eat usually brought with them!!! you always hope that your children will do well Everyone of mine and GRAND KIDS WHERE applicable [ save 1 who is trying to get a plumbing apprenticeship ] but flying honours on his college course!
Many kids have no interest in politics, regardless of how bright they are, they often don’t see the relevance to them. I was merely pointing out that giving them a say earlier may encourage them to take an interest. I’m not convinced it’s a good idea, but there are some possible upsides to it.
