the extravagance of the now retired, fuck me you aint half in for a shock!

It's not the youngsters fault that those who dined out on the boom era have pissed it up the wall.

YouGov snap poll...

‘How fair (+) or unfair (-) each age group thinks it is on people like them to raise National Insurance to pay for NHS and social care (net figures):

18-24 year olds: -40
25-49 year olds: -22
50-64 year olds: -7
65+ year olds: +30’

To clarify - Yougov summarise it as

the older Britons are, the more likely they are to say it is fair to people like them that National Insurance be raised to pay for NHS and social care​

National insurance that only those under pension age will pay.

Quelle surprise.

Not from now on.
If you work beyond pension age you will now pay NI.

I'm not sure the respondents knew that... Yougov says the question was, "Would you support or oppose increasing the National Insurance base rate from 12% to 13% to fund social care for the elderly?" So the result might be different if they realised it included that working pensioners would have to pay an extra 1.25% on earnings (I assume working pensioners will only pay the 1.25% levy, not the full 13.25%).

But then only 1 in 8 pensioners are in employment so it won't affect 7 in 8.

With the way no one can get on the housing market, no one will have any assets when they come to retire anyway, so unless you are inheriting a shit tonne of money in 40 years or so, then book that trip to Switzerland and take the pill, blow all your cash before you go.

It should affect all tax paying pensioners.

Anyone struggling with finding out their rights regarding all aspects of care homes I can recommend this organisation.
Their advice is invaluable and spot on.

£10 a week? Something like that? So like the government has taken out an expensive phone contract in your name but given the phone to Dido Harding
