Well, my statement is a sweeping generalisation and not targeted at an individual but an attitude, which is expresses predominately by older white people.


As for ageism, old men hankering for the days of empire when we stuck the boot into anyone that dared resist our 'civilising' influence have done untold damage in the last few years. They won't be the ones paying for it though, more's the pity. That's not to say the youth don't have themselves partly to blame for letting themselves be dominated at the ballot box by the older voter.

Anyway, age isn't what it used to be.
