If David Cameron wins on 7th May, I warn you not to be ordinary. I warn you not to be young. I warn you not to fall ill. I warn you not to get old.
Three out of four, yes.
Getting old is actually OK, as they've shown they're totally committed to protecting pensions. For some reason the idea of cutting unemployment benefits and disabled benefits to the bone - because the lazy scroungers should have saved for their own upkeep and have no right to expect it from others - doesn't apply to the old, who should not feel any compunction whatsoever about expecting the state to compensate for their lack of forward planning.
I'm sure this has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that most old people vote Conservative.
