to me yeah it did....you his buddy?


This stupid Govt took it off every single pensioner. Disgusting....rich ones aside.

It still hasn't been sorted.....but you carry on supporting freezing the rocks off old fuckers who can't afford it already. (don't give me the pension credit bollocks either....that doesn't wash with me.)

That's an emotional response. Read it again and calm down.

They are privileged in comparison to other pensioners and other people in the same income bracket.

If you aren't privileged put in a claim for pension credit. I hope you are successful if you apply.

The State Pension system needed a complete overhaul years ago. However, I completely understand those who have paid in all their lives, who have saved (and therefore lessened the burden on the State in the process) feeling "penalised" for doing so.
It's not just the State Pension either, there needs to be a fundamental change of mindset when it comes to support from the State generally. The State support should be there for genuine "need." Not as an added bonus for a particular situation.

It's all a horrendous mess, and it will take a very brave (possibly suicidal to be honest) Government to actually address it.

I wouldn't qualify as I'm a right privileged **** who worked hard and saved but I do know men and women who also don't qualify but who are skint too.

It's a pity you don't know people who fall through the so called safety net.

Some of the problems with this country:

1. Huge imbalance of wealth between the ultra-rich and the rest.
2. A great reluctance to tax wealth (as opposed to income) to change this.
3. A largely under-educated/trained workforce in an increasingly high-tech world.
4. An absurd tendency to nostalgic hankering for a supposed golden age that never was.
5. An extreme tendency to insularity.
6. A deeply corrupt and biased media.
7. Too much fawning to the USA in the mistaken belief they are our 'friends', not ruthless business competitors.
8. A lack of realism in the population, with a demand for European levels of services for USA levels of taxation.
9. Genuine poverty in a huge proportion of the population, not just pensioners.
10. An absurdly small internal market, thanks to Brexit.
11. Poor trading arrangements, with most of the 'deals' trumpeted by the Tories worthless or next to worthless.
12. A tendency to invest in property, not industry.

I am a pensioner who has lost it, not rich but tbh I am not dependent upon it, and never was.

The most in need should still get it imo, but there will be many others who simply will not miss it, and have rightly no longer get it.
