Title: The yoof know different, innit?
Post by: Nickbat on 12 April 2010, 10:45:05

All these expenses scandals. Just old MPs with no morals. Things will be different when today's youth take over in Parliament.

Or maybe not...

Teenagers serving on a Youth Parliament have blown thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money on parties, pizzas and chauffeur-driven cars for themselves.

Ah, but that's just the horrid English youth, innit?

No.

The former chairman of the Scottish Youth Parliament has branded the organisation a “talking and knocking shop” for youngsters obsessed with boozing, sex and drugs.

And we have the cheek to complain about the youth of today? Bah!  ;) ;D

I read the Sun article and am afraid I look straight to the adults for being so stupid.

Giving a grant to adults and not checking that it gets used properly is a pretty fundamental error in this day and age let alone youngsters.

Maybe the current (PC) view that children are equivalent to adults in all things has some bearing but I point the finger firmly at the adults and suggest that dealing with climate change may not be the only thing that the human race is too stupid to manage! :'(
