Old People

Why whenever there is an article on the news about old people - pensions, care homes - NHS etc etc, there is always some horrific stock pictures of old people dribbling into their porridge?

Don't give her sprouts - what are you thinking??

If the news story is about, say, the economy, you don't have a picture of Mark Carney tucking into a Big Mac do you? No, he's in a nice suit saying something with the words "fiscal prudence" not far from his lips, not "can I supersize that please."

...and the Big Cahuna Coke please

If it's something about immigration, then the interview with Nigel Farage  is unlikely to include him scarfing down a plate of curry

...and four papadums

Let's face it. No one looks good eating. OK, maybe The Queen, could pull it off

Maybe not.

So why pick on a section of the public who don't exactly have a lot going for them in the looks department in the first place (cue bunch of old crumblies trying to persuade everyone including themselves how gorgeous they look).

So how about a few piccies of old people doing something a bit less demeaning. How about ...er.... sport?

Hey you bitch - give me my tits back!!
Come and get them if you think you're hard enough

OK maybe stick to the eating
