Plenty of Overtime for the Undertakers, Crematorium Staff, Coffin Makers etc. More cash filtering its way into the economy as they spend it.

If everyone under 60 died as well, it would almost certainly have some indirect impact on our GDP

The monthly grab-a-gilf night at Casanova's Nite Spot would be ruined.

Also can't believe no one has mentioned Alzheimer's being wiped out.

the car kills 1.25 MILLION a year globally - road traffic deaths.
we go on about terrorists ? War on cars is a ridiculous idea?

if we were ants in a colony the knocking off of such miniscule numbers by terrorists would be an irrelevance.

An accident can kill as many as a terrorist incident, but we focus on the intention?
why? is Morals important in evolution. The mechanism grinds on.

Most of we old'uns have seen national Service or been in the Terriers or other military-style organisations.

Our demographic is steadily increasing so I reckon we could wipe out you young pups without too much bother and replace you with clones who would be taught to be appreciative.

They'd be getting all pimped out by people who aren't drug dealers, honest guv, and getting shot up outside huddersfield.
