Kill the old

... is a slogan I saw on the back of an upper deck bus seat in the 1980s. Shocking, but perhaps only just: after all, we have killed the young unborn in their millions, especially since 1967.

Now we face a demographic imbalance that will ravage the Welfare State and cripple us with taxes, as this article explains.

Or to put it visually:



Same story as in Japan, except there they still make something other than City bonuses:




Why does the Government encourage us to eat healthily? We should all do like Ken Clarke.

    If the old didn't demand such a high standard of living, worked longer and vacated family housing sooner we could bare this demographic shift. The problem is that the Boomers are the "me" generation.
