Which is why, we at BJ Online will continually stress the case for the “all inclusive“, “all participating“, consideration for the
We are constantly amazed at the indifferent understanding by successive administrations of our “senior’s” personal economic situations, we despair at the lack of appreciation of the “matures” past achievements and the potential roles and contribution they can provide to our modern society, the complete lack of awareness for this groups everyday personal leisure requirements with the complete ongoing absence of consideration and respect shown to this significant section of our community
Which is why we at BJ Online will continually champion their cause by challenging and scrutinizing the distribution of revenue and assets by the present and successive BJ PC’s
We will continue to press for equality and inclusivity for our SILENT MAJORITY who hopefully thro this website will begin to become MORE VOCAL and LESS SILENT.
All through their lives, the “Mature and Elderly” have contributed to society and their fellow citizens with tax contributions, contributions and sacrifices
Our Silent Majority should begin to let their voices be heard loud and clear. One of the problems may be their natural underlying respect and sacrifices they give to others. Remember that this age group have also been through bad times, they have had to, accept and tolerate, by necessity, in fact those in the 60s and 70s really witnessed unique hardship and deficiencies, during and after the wars in the late 1930’s and 40’s. many of them were introduced to discipline and respect with the obligatory National Service in the Forces. Whilst the “Silent Majority” naturally do not expect consideration or handouts - they do deserve CONSIDERATION and the INCLUSION by all administrations, non more so than the one representing their own community -
