    16 and 17-year-olds are going to be allowed to vote in the next election.
    Congratulations to whichever prick off tik-tok they make PM.

    I'm not specifically opposed to this move, but I think we need an adult age.
    The current mish-mash is just odd and makes no sense.
    You can join the army and have sex (presumably not at the same time) at 16.
    You can't take a picture of yourself nude and send it to someone else or buy a pint, though.

    Ed Davey needs to seriously up his Doris wannabee game.

    I have always said the 'age of ascent' in the UK should be 17.

    On voting, the EARLIEST you can vote should be 17
    (16 yrs old + either one year of military service /
    paying worker taxes) .

    Considering how a sizeable chunk of the electorate were apparently born yesterday, I can't see where the issue is

    Trump suing WSJ and Murdoch over 'bawdy birthday card', claiming he's 'never wrote a picture'.

    Which has come as a surprise to the charity fundraiser who sold two signed pictures in 2004 and a number of purchasers who have spent many thousands on his pictures over the years....
    Can't imagine Rupert is too worried, although you can still seeing the Media company making a significant if nominal out of court settlement to keep off The Orange ****s radar for a bit.
    CBS have just dropped The Late Show for the same reason...

    I hope Murdoch keeps his nerve as the chance to interrogate Trump would be game changing. Who knew the Aussie could be a hero.
