Since the EU have outlawed the use of gender to determine insurance quotes saying it is sex discrimination, does it follow that the same could be applied to age and it's only a matter of time before they try push that one through?

If not, why not? Taking it to the extreme, if they don't outlaw the use of age to influence insurance quotes, are they not breaking their own discrimination laws?

They may do the same for homosexuals since they're more prone to rear enders.

It's OK we'll be out of Europe in a few years so we can re-apply some sensible rules not politically correct BS

Surely blind people should pay the same premiums as people with sight.
And people with one arm also

But that would be discrimination against the disabled, a big no no.

So talking about this in the office, would it be possible to base premiums on people's names? It follows that people called Jane are less likely to have an accident than people called James?

Age is proven to slow down your reactions and therefore physically impair your driving ability. Having a meat and two veg does not.

Other way round.

People with sight should pay the same premiums as people who are blind

Blind people aren't allowed to drive though.

One armed folk have vehicle adaptations, and are generally driving under a DVLA agreement anyway
