The national state pension is scanty enough without people trying to chip away at it!!!

I can see that you know your stuff. Do you advise a gradual change, like moving to a double lock and then average earnings? I think people should be given time as well. Although the pension is a benefit, it has always been linked closely - including by the government to NI contributions. Whatever happens to it (affecting any generation) changes shouldn’t just happen overnight. I think the question of public sector pensions needs to be addressed too. These types of pensions disappeared in the private sector a long time ago as they are unsustainable. I suspect what drives a lot of people mad is the sheer waste in government spending when it could better have been applied elsewhere.

The trouble is this guy will know somebody whose wage has risen more than the pension and then comments like this. He doesn’t understand average wage.

Don’t understand why 18 years of successive failure of government running a economy our old people must be punished for no other reason they think it costs too much but the government gets a pass

do you really think triple lock will make pensioners better off?

Scooby Doo :
The fact is that pension after the triple lock is still half of min wage. Would you want to pay tax into the system to get half the min wage?

When unions get rail workers and doctors inflation busting x3 or x4 or even x5 pay rises and the Labour Party give away our tax to people that don’t work to an extent that it incentivizes them not to work and just claim benefits that they have not contributed to then it is NOT uninformed or uneducated 😂😂😂

In 1979 the state pension was 26% of average earnings today it is less than 19% and so hasn’t kept pace - those greedy old people basically oversaw a reduction in the state pension in real terms during their working life.

All your videos are centered on the state pension rising. The minimum wage is now s half decent salary compared to 35 years ago. sadly young man you are born in an era where economy has been abused for decades and we are where we are. remember, in 20 years time a new generation will be moaning about what a luxurious life people of today had.
