no, it's because old people vote more, and always have done.
so the politicians aim themselves at giving oldies what they want.
Poor old pete is obviously another vitriolic person full of hate.
He'll moan about democracy soon enough when the citizens vote for something he doesn't like.
It's the only way to bring some threads to an end. Hang on wasn't there a film called Threads.

Predictable moaning Notch.
Oh don't you start!
Please Trump, push the button! End it now.
I recommend watching "The War Game" (1965) while you wait. It's an interesting drama/documentary about the time just after the bomb drops. Initially banned for many years as the content was deemed too harrowing for the British public. Lots of sites online to watch it.
Meanwhile I've been to Aldi and got some bananas and cakes with long best before dates. Didn't bother with any meat for frying, as we may not fancy any despite the aroma that would be wafting around.

No way.
I've not got a Geiger counter, but my damp meter needle was still in the green so I thought that meant they were OK.
I bought one of those wooden things to hang them off to make them last longer too.
Slightly more seriously, anyone ever made a radiation meter? I’ve sometimes considered it. Maybe a project for the weekend?

The Kearny fallout meter, or KFM, is an expedient radiation meter. It is designed such that someone with a normal mechanical ability would be able to construct it before or during a nuclear attack, using common household items.
I've got that covered

I've also got a few left over rolls of 35mm film that I could hang up.
The meters used to detect fallout are not the same as ordinary geigers.
They only detect one range (think it might be Beta) emitted from fallout and are only interested in readings that are dangerous. So very inaccurate in the "will you die in ten minutes or in ten days" scale and the "is it perfectly safe or fairly safe" range. For some reason they don't react to modern luminous watches.

I hope that's just a (rubbish) joke and you don't really think that.
