Why are the left so obsessed with pensioners? Why does it enrage them so much that someone who's worked their whole life might enjoy a comfortable retirement?
Pensioners have, in the main, paid for their pensions quite handsomely over many years.
It makes far more sense to be concerned about the £billions being handed to scroungers who've never contributed a penny in their lives.
Its who is expected to pay for it. How about if the super rich cared so much about pensioners who have worked their whole lives paying for it. Or well to do Tories paying for their elderly voters. Assuming there's any Tory voters left to do so. Funny thing all those pensioners biting the hand that feeds them. What a retarded post. |

Yes I am unclear what is being argued about, the state pension is classed as taxable income, if it is not then I am owed some money I have paid in tax. I may be wrong but didn't Rishi promise not to tax them? Not quite. He's said he'll raise the tax free allowance for pensioners to keep it above that level, which is not quite the same thing. |

I saw some polling prediction on an internet news outlet this morning that predicts a massive Labour majority with the Lib Dems as official opposition with 70 seats. It really doesn't bear thinking about, we will be skint, have no cars, have no heating, be unable to remain an intact male and will be rejoining the EU on terms which even the third Reich didn't impose on their subjected peoples, it is ghastly.
I heard that dotard Heseltine say that the only way the Tories can retain power is by staying in the centre ground and not be far right as they are now, with that sort of thinking they demonstrate why they must never hold office again, ever. Nigel seems to be in top form, getting stuck into foreigners and getting the youth on side, who would of thought it, we might be bringing on a generation of normal people.

Me too. I’m liable for tax in my state pension ( as is my wife ) , I have to pay tax on any drawdown too, of course . Im wondering who there pensioners are ‘ getting ‘ rent free homes . Pensioners who are on Guarantee Credit on top of their State Retirement Pension, who rent their home. Does that equate to ‘ getting rent free’ homes ie not paying any rent ? Do all pensioners who rent homes get this ? |

Pensioners (and some categories) get a number of special deals — eg, travel concessions, lunch deals, lower event and exhibition entrance prices (even Iceland gave 10% off on Tuesdays). Is the suggestion specials such as these should be scrapped...? Suggestion by whom? |

So a bit of an improvement then.  |
