Angus Robertson's comment was meant as a joke rather than a serious political point. as I recall at the last referendum there was almost a uniform voting spread against independence regardless of age. I think there was one age group that voted in favour but in general the NO voters were spread throughout the ages. Admittedly the older voters were more inclined to vote NO but it wasn't true that they were the only group to vote NO and so were entirely responsible for the defeat.
The doctor who phoned would have details of my age through my CHI number so she knew exactly how old I was and protecting people in the 30-50 age group was no benefit to me.
Angus Robertson’s comment was no joke especially as it was reported in the UK media.
If it had been a joke Angus Robertson would have been quick to distance himself from the comment and state that it was taken out of context which has never happened.
I see that Angus Robertson is 51 years old and now outwith the current 30-50 age group that Nippy is trying to protect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Robertson
