On your line of argument why did I, when I was working, have to pay for other people’s pension without any sort of guarantee of getting one. The answer is ...because thems the rules as they stand at the moment. No Government can give a cast iron guarantee as to what the position will be in 25 years time and if they did no one would believe them.
was gonna ask that as wellCite a flippant reason for voting Remain.
Good points. The cake is only I size and if the Public Sector pay and welfare increases it has to be paid for by the private sector. I do agree benefits should increased in the difficult times we live in,but I also strongly believe those who can work should work and not be paid to sit at home all day and do nothing. I could be wrong but I think the triple lock has been suspended, particularly with inflation as it is. As regards lodgers, if your talking about me personally I don’t think anyone would want to live in the middle of nowhere and have to rely on non existent public transport. Other pensioners haven’t probably got the spare rooms.And why shouldn't public sector pay and work age disability and out of work benefits rise with inflation in the same way?
Do you really need the triple lock, couldn't you get in a few lodgers to make up any shortfall in income?
Kept that one quiet haven't they.The EU is going to make USB-C a standard which will save consumers a lot of money. Seems like the UK won't follow suit.
I also sort myself and my family out and try not to be impacted by the poltics but, it's impossible.I am not bothered either way to be honest. I have never taken any decisions based on either who is running the Country or our position within the rest of the World. If anyone is expecting a politician of any persuasion to make a massive impact on their life they are in deep shit. As long as we cater for those who are physically or mentally not capable of looking after themselves, the rest of us have got to take personal responsibility and stop blaming everything wrong within their world on others. I find it keeps me sane.
hahahaha, confused.Doom merchants britains breeding a bunch of Fannie’s we joined the common market in 1974 for the trade agreements now it’s a political dynamo the MIGHTY E.U.When we joined we were a manufacturing powerhouse heavy industry look where we are now ……… no unions, zero hours,our workers do the most hours in Europe,shit pensions.The twats in the hats are crying because you cannot get your skinny latte with chocolate swirl because Stanislav is not allowed in the country….like it or not it’s democracy
Once again, nonsense unless you put all your money under the bed over the years and now pay cash for everything?Nope, just a reality check that politicians will make very little difference on a personal level and more people need to stand on their own 2 feet rather than blame others. Simple concept really.
Tell me one thing a politician has ever done that has been life changing for you personally, just one,you don’t have to struggle with a listOnce again, nonsense unless you put all your money under the bed over the years and now pay cash for everything?
