I tell you what is real theft @Nonsense, the elderly destroying the youths future because they don't want someone with a funny accent living next door to them. #Brexit.
You don't get it and Decky touched up on it. Your NI and taxes pays for services that include far more than pensions. If the government has a lack of funds due to economic uncertainty or recession, they are not going to start slashing things that have already been slashed to the bone already. They are going to start meating up the cash cow. That is pensions. It is a cash burden and its fantasy to think it will be untouched. And in a way that is fair actually. The elderly wanted Brexit and it will be the elderly who should pay for it. And if you have a problem with that then complain to Farage or Johnson. Don't start complaining that as that is how it has always been so that is how it should be. Because a riot in the street will create more damage with a horde of angry workers than a horde of angry pensioners. Get real.
Nonsense wrote:NONSENSE- What you fail to understand is that there are 'obligations' by government to pensioners through the arrangements of funding the Basic State Pension since it began over 100 years ago.
Those obligations arise, because current workers fund the retired, as with past, present & future generations.
If you are suggesting that arrangement needs tearing up, then it is patently obvious that it's state theft to either continue taking pension contributions from current-future workers, or, to pay compensation-for-inflation to current pensioners, at a rate that is less than the RPI.
The TORIES are already pulling the wool over the younger working generations through the auto-enrolment scheme in place.
The young are naïve about politics, you only get properly 'educated' with experience gained through aging, a luxury the elderly do not share equally with the young.
You are wrong(IMHO)to believe that public spending cannot be cut further before pensions, but, consider the £40 BILLION a year in taxes foregone, in order that the rich-better off, can stuff their pension funds with poorer taxpayers funding their reliefs, that's where the cuts should be made & some of it used to equalise the 'Old'-'New' Basic State Pension levels.
The level of the nations debt will spiral with no deal, because of the sheer numbers of additional people here from Europe,
(over 3 million) who will be potentially paid benefits when the economy goes tits up, that's where Theresa MAY made another gaffe today.
She is a performing liability, the cost to the country of her being in Downing Street is unsustainable, she has to go, if she doesn't, the Tory Party will.
