The average age drops drastically when pension payments are being collected.

Well, I suppose when I typed the quote I did so without mentioning the source because I have noticed on here that if you hint you read that paper (or the Daily Mail, or the Telegraph) you immediately get judged!
However, you asked me where I got it from, so I am not going to hide it.
For the record, I am in a state of total despair with this government. Probably from a different angle than most people on here*, but that is to be expected. I bet if records were to exist as to the age profiles of bluemoon members it would show most to be younger rather than older. You don’t get many pensioners chatting online about football or the latest Star Wars thing on Disney+ or videogames do you? It is a well known fact that most people when younger are for the left, anti-Brexit pro-Labour, whilst the older generations are more on the other side of the political divide including pro-Brexit. Analysis after the referendum certainly showed that. I not only remember when City were rubbish I am actually old enough to remember when they were great before they were rubbish!
Can I also state that I liked the headline and some of the stuff she wrote in the article, but even I was rolling my eyes at the last bit when she starts to go on about the Kalergi plan. I mean it might be happening, just because of globalisation and the way people are trying to move to where they think they can get a better life, but I doubt there is some secret plan driving it forward.
But I think this makes sense: “…it is unsustainable to think that Europe can solve this international crisis alone. With the birth rate spiralling globally, there will be no end in sight as millions and millions more people flee for a better life as the inevitable conflict for resources escalates.
Whilst Europe has done its best to cope, taking the bulk of African and Asian migration, there seems an unwillingness to tackle the root causes of the problem or the results of those problems politically.
As far as the UK is concerned, it is a very small island and cannot allow its borders to be continually breached by undocumented migrants from France most of whom are young men now staying in hotels at your expense. And where are the women and children?
One might also ask where is the Royal Navy, whose historic duty it is to protect our sea borders?
However, this current problem which is affecting this small nation so drastically both financially and socially, is a direct result of the Schengen Agreement and the disbanding of borders throughout Europe. Now anyone can enter the European land mass, travel straight to Calais and on to Dover. We are suffering because of the policies of the EU and their lack of vision and foresight.”
I know this will get me some ‘grief’ - gosh just acknowledging I read the Daily Express did that! but I hope this site is one for free speech (as long as it is not hate speech) and we can discuss the issue(s).
*P.S. When I say I despair at the ineffectiveness of this government, it is true, but some days I think: can they really be this bad? or are forces ranged against them - possibly even people who still feel aggrieved about what happened in 2016. People who prevent stuff getting done and block or delay at every opportunity out of spite and to ensure there is a change of leadership, after the next General Election.
Leave lutes out of this. They’re innocent.If @gill_undrhill goes to the music threads the fondness for lutes and doublets should put him right about the demographic :-)

It does give us infants (35-50) the chance to act the bollocks for a little bit without getting a 'in my day' lecture though.Now it's all done electronically this sadly removes the window of opportunity for a coup d'etat by the younger brigades (i.e the 50-65ers).
Medication fumble, make sure you don't forget.You're lucky, if I go upstairs, when I finally get there, I forget why I did.
