Should the pension be means tested or will every pensioner get it? Will those pensioners that have not contributed in any way to their pension get the same as those pensioners that have worked all their lives? How much more revenue will be needed to implement your suggestions and where will the funds come from? With less children being born to pay for future pensions how is it all going to end? It's not that I don't believe pensioners should be cared for, I do, I'm just curious how it's all going to be financed
Well toots we could start with £18 billion a year that tax avoidance schemes by the rich for the rich are withheld from the exchequer, come to think of it that would probably do it, glad to see you express concern for OUR senior citizens one of the few on here. Surely if the Germans and French can do it we can ??
There was press report some years ago about a woman found dead in a tenement flat in Victoria less than a mile from Buckingham Palace, he flat was frozen the the sink full of ice the toilet frozen she was dead she had choked to death on a piece of cardboard there was no food there was no electricity no surviving relatives ignored by society, during WW2 she had been a nurse in Burma and captured by the Japanese where she endured their regime with all its abuses.
Society the British society allowed her demise in those disgraceful circumstances, a mile away the von Windsor specimen was feeding her Corgis the finest fillet steak on solid gold plates in luxurious surroundings warm comfortable secure, how different for the ex nurse, what a reflection on this country of ours!! and of course its very likely to happen again very shortly in OUR country surely that is obscene ??
Unfortunately the likes of wannabe and grandad couldnt give a toss not one word of sympathy so typical I am afraid of the cab driving fraternity
