Summary
🔥 I'm Old But Not Dead Yet! Why Is Ageism Still Acceptable? 🔥
Age discrimination is alive and well in the UK – but why is it still considered socially acceptable? In this hard-hitting discussion, we expose the rampant ageism in politics, media, and the workplace. From cancel culture to the woke agenda, older generations are often dismissed, despite their experience and wisdom. But is it fair?
Join us as we break down:
Why is ageism the only "ism" that is still acceptable in the UK?
Why are people over 50 treated with contempt by media and employers.
Why doesn't society recognise our experience?
Is the term Boomer an insult.
How ageism in UK politics affects elections and policy decisions
The double standards in media and public debate
Why free speech is under attack in discussions about age and experience
The role of the mainstream media in perpetuating stereotypes.
What needs to change to create a truly inclusive society
