i am still pondering what to do with the 25 p increase on my state pension, wont even be 25 p as it will be indirectly taxed, absolute piss take even dreaming 25p a week could make the slightest difference, at a time when cigs are £15 a pack, fish n chips over a tenner, fuel gas and electric are at sky high levels, same with rent and mortages. Classing the state pension as a "benefit" is a pernicious lie, constantly peddled by the msm. On the upside, i now save £3 instead of £2 when taking the bus....whoopie dooo
