Perhaps these 18 year olds+ should consider how many other 16 year olds+ gave their all, including their lives, to allow debates and votes like this to happen in the first place.

"There are a lot of very difficult memories and it would be to my mind wrong to suggest to anyone that you should as it were, wipe the slate clean.

Hardly surprising. With thousands applying for each job that trickles to the surface, minimum wage becoming the maximun wage, flegs obsessed seething politicans offering nothing but decades of the past as decades of the future....who in there right minds would stay?
