PRESENTER:

So having had discussions with both Bradley and Lucy before we went on air I know that Lucy you are very passionate about being able to have a say on what is going on so you are all for having the voting age lowered. Whereas Bradley you are completely against it being lowered. So Lucy, what makes you want the voting age to be lowered.

LUCY:

Discuss the following - Having an opinion on essentially our future

- Be able to make influential decisions on our lives because it will affect us most not the adults - Equality - 16 year olds can be taxed and go into the army

PRESENTER:

Bradley, why are you so against this? Lucy those are great points.

BRADLEY:

OK, so… - Young people aged 16 and over don’t really follow politcs - Young people will just follow their friends - The younger a person is their abilty to make informed decisions is decreased - 18 year olds are generally aware and intelligent while some 16 year olds clearly are, far more are apathetic

PRESENTER:

Since you guys have been discussing this we’ve been flooded with tweets and texts. We’ve had a tweet from @NealeWade ‘It’s great to hear our students discussing important issues within our society #politics #studentdebate’. We’ve had another tweet from @DanielAllen12 ‘I agree with Lucy the voting age should be lowered to 16,why should young people be allowed a vote?’. We’ve had a text come in from Oliver Partridge ‘Absolutley agree with Lucy our young people need to have a say’. So there we

have it, our listeners and Lucy seem to be out on the lead. Don’t forget you can get involved in the show by tweeting @NWATakeabreak or by texting 84411.

PRESENTER:

Good Luck to all of you entering. Now since this is a topical radio show. Recently in the news I’ve been hearing the question of ‘Should Cystlists and Horse Riders be able to wear hi-vis jackets that say Polite on the back of them, when actually for drivers that are passing by it actually looks like it says police. So what are we thinking about this guys?

BRADLEY:

- Less accidents - Makes people slow down around horses - People will leave a wide room for cyclists like their meant to

LUCY:

- Agree with Bradley reiterate points that Bradley said

PRESENTER:

Thank you. We’ve have a text through from Mr Sheppard actually our Media Studies teacher and he says’ I think that it is a great idea. I think this should happen for all of the right reasons’.

PRESENTER:

So our final topic on todays show is School Uniform. Should students have to wear school uniform.

BRADLEY:

- Study shows actually students learn better in their own clothes

LUCY:

Hang on… What about the increased bullying issues? They look smart when having to wear uniform.

BRADLEY:

Able to express themselves

PRESENTER:

We’ve had a few tweets come through regarding this topic already. @RanviMorgan says ‘Students should wear school uniform because A) It means students are looking smart and B) It decreases issues of bullying’. We’ve got another tweet hear from @ArnieSmith ‘Students should not have to wear uniform, they should express themselves and be able to feel comfortable whilst they are learning’.

PRESENTER:

Thank You to everyone that has been involved with todays show our first ever show. A massive thank you to both Lucy and

Bradley for taking the time to join me. We are back tomorrow with new guests and of course new topics. This has been Take A Break With Billy. Goodbye. JINGLE (30 SECONDS TO 1 MINUTE)
