It seems that the more comply the more you're targeted, giving with one hand and taking from the other has never been so apt . and y the target again are pensioners , Its easy when you are guaranteed yours should you even as a complete and utter failure Reeves will be found out to be , the likes of her will continue to live in comfort ,at an earlier age for a predicted longer time. £158,851 for fugging up the country ( as have others before the what about brigade arrive)

If this turns out to be true, well I'm 9 years away from retirement but assuming I get there I already know I'd be paying tax on that 12,631 (if it's accurate) because I already recieve an occupational pension which is itself above the personal allowance threshold.
So much for working had, preparing for my retirement and not being a burden on the state. People like me are now seen as a cash cow,
I mean, why let the old have a comfortable retirement and be able to enjoy what is left of their life.
Though obviously this could all be a load of tripe, lets hope. Because people who only have the state pension often struggle, they've had the WHA removed and we wondered what was next... |
I've just had a letter that my state pension from April this year will rise by £30 , not a lot in the scheme of things when you consider the next rise in fuel is to be announced , inflation on the rise , water rising to astonishing levels and because I have a private pension I'm over the threshold and pay tax, so just with those first two that £30 is long gone .The Government are not stupid ( hard to believe at times I know) but to continuing to leave the triple lock as it is will obviously drag more pensioners into falling into paying tax also their benefits may s cease. | |

Easy solution to this. Abolish the triple lock and increase pensions in line with inflation or wages alone.
A pensioner will get a 5.5% increase an NHS carer likley to get about half of that.
No wonder we need immigrants |
We don't " need all " , some yes and those with the relevant professional skills. Huge difference . | |

That would be great. We just can't afford it for a couple of years yet. |
We could "afford " to give train divers and their like a rise ,even though their not essential services or maybe we could stop giving 2.3 billion to India, that may help . | |
