Swagman Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 1 minute ago, Clive said: My wife does not get full pension, but seem unable to find out why......she did have some time off work when she had our 2 kids, but not off work for long, and never been out of work. My attendance allowance made up for her shortfall, and if had not been for that one eyed Scotchman (Gordon Brown) my pit pension would have been alot more than I get now. Yeah my wife will only get a small pension, plus with all the alterations to the scheme mine won’t be a full one either, I worked mine out before I finished work on the old pension but now that has gone down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have a private pension, it would not have made me alot on retirement, but had to draw it out to pay for a parents funeral, i got absolutely hammered with tax, and the pension company where taking a big cut out of it every year.....bastids 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that France put a cap on the price increase of 4%.......and you lot got hit for 54%. Yeh....and what happens later this year when the cap goes up again? Just in time for winter, that will thin the old fuckers out, even less to pay out on pensions. Think we will move the tele into the kitchen and put one ring on the cooker to keep us warm ish 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum isn't on the full state pension, so she gets a little bit of pension credit, but she's worried about the cost of everything rising. My brother had to give up work to care for his missus, as she's got a form of alzheimers, but he don't get a lot of money from the state, so he's struggling too. It's hard to see how people on lower incomes will survive! The country has been run into the ground, but people will still vote for the shysters. There seems to be no appreciation of Cause and Effect with the general public! Why so many vote against their own best interests bewilders me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a bit an interview of Jacob Rees Mogg being "interviewed" by Nick Ferrari on LBC during the week and he was spouting all sorts of bollocks, completely unchallenged by the "interviewer"! People hear a cunt with a plummy voice coming out with this shit and accept it as fact! Serf mentality! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not convinced there wont be. It takes time for the effects to be felt. It has to start damaging the very basic needs of food, shelter, warmth (thats considered to be clothing btw) and safety. Once enough people are in debt because they cant keep up with the repayments, repossession start, homelessness increases, death by hypothermia goes up and enough ordinary working people are in the same shitty boat thats when the anger starts feeding off itself and expands to riot level. If the government doesn’t respond swiftly with measures that salve before that point (chuck a few crumbs in the way of the peasants) then I wouldnt be at all surprised if it turns into riot level anger. Its not just pensioners who cant afford this, its the majority of the country- many that’ll be lucky to see any pension at all and they know it so its all fuel into to fire. Sadly the government is aware that they only need to behave and throw some money about 1 year before an election (they literally save up for this point) and then the twats will vote for their team again regardless. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Bob. one of the things i think is going to hit this generation the most is when they realise what they think is essential is just luxury , There's lads i work with that pay £50 a month for mobile phones that they think they must have, great when they live with their parents their in for a real shock when they eventually get to the real world, i remember when i first moved in with the wife (girlfriend then) i went through a stage of choosing to put fuel in the bike to get to work instead of buying an electric token for the meter towards the end of the week 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
