When are the politicians going to start using common sense in this country?
At 16 you can join the army and fight for this country, but you can’t vote!
At 16 you can consent to sex with numerous partners but you cannot watch pornography at cinemas!
At 16 you can leave home, have a family but cannot drink alcohol! At 16 you can get a council house but cannot purchase cigarettes!
Are teenagers confused these days or are we giving them mixed messages?
