and don't forget the older workers who get squeezed out of the industry as they are perceived as being either past it, too expensive or "difficult" in that they have opinions and ideas

there is a vast reservoir of untapped talent in the UK but no one wants to employ anyone in it because of combinations of ageism, sexism and "perfect match for the job because we don't believe in training"ism

I suggest us older workers get together and form our own company as no one else wants to employ us, hands up if you are interested
