Is this surprising? That’s the age group least likely to be spending the weekend caring for a child, while also having the disposable income to turn up and fewer have work on Monday.

Retired people don't need jobs.
This is evidence of the chilling effect on protests of these fascist laws.
If I get arrested on false "terrorist charges" I probably lose me job. If not that I'll never get promoted.
Even if I'm willing to take the social cost of publicly protesting against the genocide, I genuinely can't afford the financial cost.
A sacrifice that puts me back into poverty might be a moral choice I should make but it's not one I will.
Those on the bottom rung financially, or the top rung, have less to lose than anyone in the middle of working age.
Should we be really paying a state pension to terrorists... Not my opinion, but a possible thought process.
