As a 'victim', I have an interest in ageism. Try getting ad agency employment after 40, much less 50, and you'll see what I mean.
Not much I feel can, or will be done about save empty rhetoric, jobs for more civserfs, money for lawyers and a few handouts for those who play the system, but I do intend to stay abreast of it all.
Guardian - Age discrimination laws could backfire on us if they end up keeping young people out of work - Well, yes, I suppose. But one does wonder how the sprightly author would feel if his employer felt (and wasn't stupid enough to tell him) that they needed a 'younger perspective'.
Frankly, even just pondering in hope the notion that this government has considered anything smacks of losing the plot.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
