You know those people who say "no offence but..." And then go on to be offensive? That's what you've just done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thank you. It’s just the cynic in me that thinks since she said what she said, she had been put on the back burner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
El Cid 214 #1803 Posted October 27, 2021 I guess its just me, is it right to put a 23 year old student up for a very responsible job? Would you vote in a 23 year old as your MP? https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politics/labour-choose-student-paramedic-23-as-north-yorkshire-police-commissioner-candidate-3434126?fbclid=IwAR3z9bKpQYX74zilLCj-gDMnt_obPlVaBQL6taWMO_WLjcLY8Lh3DJgCgOw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just as a student doctor at the age of 23 would be lacking in skills. Seems to be quite an insulting attitude to have. For some people at the age of 30 they may already be 12+ plus years into their chosen career. Some qualified graduates start their careers by 21/22 . You may dismiss it as being junior or inexperienced but I hardly think anyone should be in a position to quibble when some junior doctor still in their 20s potentially saves lives, or some recently trained nurse helps the patient recover or some young looking spotty faced lawyer represents you successfully in court. They are doing the job exactly as they are supposed to do - so that's all that should matter. I really don't see why young age should be some arbitrary barrier to politics either. Just because someone is older and so called wiser doesn't make them any better at doing their job. In fact looking at many aspects of a civil service it's the old fart institutionalised dinosaurs that cause a lot of the problems.
