EddardStark Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 A good read . I do think the older generation have been shielded from the extremes of austerity. But as I understand the govt at saying that the state pension will be around £140 pw by the time I retire. For many OAP's that will be their lot. If universal benefits are around by then then I will be amazed. There are rich OAP's who used state pensions to pay for 3 months in the sun. There are poor OAP's who cant survive on £140pw. The comments section is worth reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You may disagree with some of the article but there are plenty of accuracies in it and I fail to see why we should dismiss his views just because of the school he went to. If you are prepared to dismiss the school connections of these people then you really are missing the whole point of how the system works.
