15 year old Commissioner

Also in the news this week - a 15 year old Commissioner in Kent resigned from a £15,000 a year post after her tweets caused offence.

What the hell is this country coming to when school, college and university leavers can't get jobs but a 15 year old schoolgirl is handed a job that she obviously doesn't understand and can't do? The lady who appointed her was interviewed by the BBC News and she said that she had asked the girl if there was any reason why she should not be appointed and she had said 'No' in response. How come she didn't think to check out the girl's tweets and use of social media - one of which referred to her temperament when drunk. I though 15 year olds were not legally old enough to purchase or consume alcohol, or has somebody changed the law overnight?

The recruiter(s) responsible need to get a grip on reality and be given a spell on Job Seekers Allowance to reprioritise their thinking.
