I thought I'd find a post discussing this so if i'v missed it I apologise. But I think Jeremy Paxman got a bloody blooming cheek being so derogatory about what he calls the elderly during his stand up show at the Edinburgh fringe. It might be all a bit tongue in cheek and I don't mind a joke..even at my expense but has he looked in the mirror lately? He's no spring chicken himself. Apparently he thinks there are "too many old people living at the tax payers expense, cluttering up the place and they should be shoved off to dignitas clinics. I rather think there was a bit too much of my television licence fee paying his whopping pension/ wages/ salary and if he feels so strongly he should put it back into the public purse and live on his savings until his own state pension kicks in at 65 or perhaps he'll put his money were his mouth is at put that back into the state coffers too. After all he wouldn't like to be a drain on society. Shall we have a collection to send him to Switzerland.
