Should a 16 year old also be able to buy alcohol and serve on a jury?Jockman said:
Is there a market for employing 16 year olds at £3.50 per hour?
Will raising this to £10 per hour improve this market or have an adverse effect?
Is £3.50 ph an easy target because it's so low? Indeed who sets this, the Low Pay Commission?
If they become eligible for full wages there is also the knock-on consequence of capping child benefit, CSA payments and a whole host of other subsidies at the same age.Will raising this to £10 per hour improve this market or have an adverse effect?

won't this encourage young people to ditch school and higher education? Giving 16yos the vote is even more frightening. Corbyn continues to shake the tree!
I'm beginning to think the tree needs shaking and it's pretty simple, if you shake it and people don't like it they won't vote for it, if they do they will.Personally I've never quite got how at 16 you're old enough to leave home, leave school, get a job (paid less than someone older doing the exact same thing), pay taxes, but have absolutely zero say in any of the policies that might impact you in doing any of the above.
k really wants their child to be working full time at 16. They are immature, know fk all and of course they shouldn't have a vote-they are children! I personally think 18 is too young to vote.alock said:

Should a 16 year old also be able to buy alcohol and serve on a jury?I'm saying that because with alcohol the age has been 18 for as far as I can recall, and with cigarettes the age was increased from 16 to 18 presumably to help act as a deterrent.
On Jury Service, I believe youth courts don't have jury's so again my instinct is that if you can't be tried by a jury at 16 you shouldn't be on a jury at 16.

It isn't just Corbyn, there's a big cross party push to give 16 year olds the vote. I wouldn't back it however I think it will happen sometime in the future."Labour, the Lib Dems, the SNP and the Greens all back votes at 16 - only UKIP and the Tories are against it."

I wonder why 
Does anybody know anyone under 16 who would vote Tory?
Would any of us have voted Tory when we were under 16?

Indeed, so why is Britain s gullible as to think this is sensible when most other countries recognise that school children do not have the experience to understand anything about how a country is run. I would have had no idea when I was 16 so would simply have followed what my paretns told me. BlackLabel said:
What I think is most worrying about this snippet is that this wasn't Labour policy. In response to a question he has basically said yeah fk it why not. It's policy making on the hoof without any thought as to the costs or implications and hang the consequences.It's actually quite childlike, and deeply worrying that he can think this way.

I see they were all fawning over Johnny Depp as he made jokes about assassinating the President. The same wife beating Depp with his 14 houses and lifestyle that's costing him $2million a month. You'd think they'd want him lined up against the wall first when the revolution comes.
Yep anything shows how generally stupid the "young, liberal & "trendy left" can be it is this exact example....they are just blind to the massive contradictions in their ideology.They would tell you.
