Dorset Eye currently have a thread on lowering the voting age to 16, on their page, which is worth your time. I was thinking about this as I pulled into Beaconsfield services, earlier today. Where, lo and behold, a toxin of Tories at an adjacent table were discussing that very thing.
The fella at the next table, I subsequently learned, was a visitor to our septic isle and he, like me, shuddered at their discourse.
These specimens were The Daily Mail made flesh. Comprising, in the main, perpetually resentful snobs and narrow-minded dullards; terrified some smelly poor person might obtain something they shouldn’t.
They were appalled even at the possibility of a refugee child making it into the country and putting non-existent pressure on the services their party consistently hack to bits anyway. And then reaching the age of 16 and voting for ‘the loony lefties.’
And our indigenous youngsters? “Scruffy oiks pretending to be wogs,” proffered one silver-haired, red-cheeked, polyester-clad monstrosity.
“They shouldn’t be allowed a vote until they’ve done a stint in the army,” responded another.
“Sshhh, you can’t say that!” belatedly cautioned a third.
“Damn their bloody political correctness, I’ll still call a spade a spade,” retorted the first, while sniggering at his ‘pun.’
Their sense of entitlement and cognitive dissonance were at virtually epidemic levels. So, too, was the absence of anything resembling empathy. As I politely interjected to inform them. Along with a couple of other succintly articulated observations…
The point? Only that there are no teens I can even imagine who would be less qualified to make a rational political decision than these grotesque parodies of humanity.
These grasping, hate-filled, simpletons; these vacuous, bitter racists masquerading as sentient adults; these greedy, pitiless things, are going to kill your future stone-cold dead on Thursday, kids. If you let them. You know what you have to do…
Sack the Tories on June 8th.
