Ah, the Tory economic wet-dream ! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/67/9c/d8/679cd8756e6eb0a283c7305eafe824cc.webp
I've been middle aged for 20 years. Maybe you need one of those holsters that hook over your chair arm. I was perusing one in a shop just the other day. Too many bloody remotes. I did try a 1-4-all remote but I found there were some operations/devices it just couldn't emulate.
From my experience with working with people with type 1 diabetics, perhaps hypo rather than hyper is more likely. Is hypo not more likely after a vigorous country walk? Anyway, apologies if this speculation causes offence but behaviour is affected by blood sugar levels even in non diabetics.
I have found and my wife has too, that at the lower end of the spectrum, I'm fine, it's just as my Glucose Levels go over 13 or 14 that it subtly changes. And as for the hypo after a walk, it depends on how well May handles her Glucose Levels, if she is already higher than optimum, it can go even higher than rather going lower.
The original meaning of "mugwump" among Massachusetts Indians was "war leader". In American current usage, it means "a person who remains aloof or independent, especially from party politics". It's all a lot of whiff-whaff.
I've had my fill. https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=9afbfccb10072a29bcf09d70b588be1d&oe=598DAE6B
Parliament sat for the last time yesterday. Following the European Union referendum, there was a lot of newspaper noise about the old generation "betraying" their grandchildren, in reference to the disparity in voting between young and old voters. This can also be seen in the 2015 general election. The following data is from a House of Commons research paper, showing a population estimate for 2015, sorted by age range (numbers show millions of people). 0-14: 12.231 15-29: 12.619 30-44: 12.545 45-59: 13.018 60-74: 9.079 75+: 5.388 The category boundaries are not ideal for this test but if we make a crude assumption that people are evenly spread through age groups we can break down the 30-44 category into 8.363 million aged 30-39 and 4.182 million aged 40-45. That gives us 33.213 million aged 0-39 and 31.667 aged 40+. Obviously the younger group includes children who can't vote, so let's eliminate the 0-14 category and break down the 15-29 to eliminate minors. That brings the <40 electorate down to 18.458 million. If turnout is consistent, the over 40 vote is roughly 70% larger than the youth vote. Of course we know from most analysis that the turnout among old people is significantly higher than that among the young.
Turnout is higher for older people for several reasons - including people falling off the register when they move, something which happens a lot for young people (especially while at university).
If anyone is interested some voting stats for the 2015 GE https://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3575/How-Britain-voted-in-2015.aspx As expected it shows a lower pecentage of young people voting than older people. University students don't drop off the GE register if they are already on it when they move. They remain registered at their home address so they have several options open to them 1.>Be at home for a GE 2.>Request a mail vote 3.>Vote by Proxy 4.>Register for a GE at their student address. As soon as I was able to vote I did so and have voted at every opportuunity I could except once. If you don't vote don't complain about the result.
Unfortunately the figures I used have different age ranges so I can't do the calculation, but at first glance it looks as if those turnout figures could push the ratio from 1.7 well past 2.
Okay so using MacLeod's link and the 2011 census (again with some crude re-bordering): 18-24: 5,895,800*0.43 = 2,535,194 votes 25-34: 8,433,000*0.54 = 4,553,820 votes 35-39: 4,194,000*0.64 = 2,684,160 votes 40-44: 4,626,000*0.64 = 2,960,640 votes 45-54: 8,738,000*0.72 = 6,291,360 votes 55-64: 7,421,000*0.77 = 5,714,170 votes >=65:10,376,000*0.78 = 8,093,280 votes Then merge them into two big blocks 18-39: 9,773,174 votes 40ys+: 23,059,450 votes Divide the latter by the former and you get 2.359.
Sooner or later you would expect all these 'bright young things' to realise what the pensioners have known for ages. If you vote, you get looked after, if you don't, you get screwed over to pay for the other lot...
