I AM not surprised at the anger of farmers (LET, July 29) as their young milk deliverers, aged 14 to 16, are being deprived of their jobs, by the foolish bureaucrats in Brussels, to whom we are now beholden.
Also, of late, the House of Commons has been attempting to lower the age of homosexual consent to 16.
Now, at 16, you are too young to deliver milk, but maybe yet not too young to be bodily abused!
What an idiotic world we live in!
