Should there be an age limit on running for President? Former President Jimmy Carter thinks so. “I hope there’s an age limit. If I were just 80 years old, if I was 15 years younger, I don’t believe I could undertake the duties I experienced as President.” Fair or ageism? #ageing

Today on Jeremy Vine | Here, on Tiktok, Insta & Facebook BBC Radio 2 show - is the term "granny" ageist? At The Bias Cut we believe so.
