HI LM27
My point was you had to make 35 Years of contributions to get a FULL state pension so OAPs do deserve what they get. It should be a basic human desire to go out and work so you can look after yourself but sadly millions of people no longer take on that responsibility preferring to be lazy and expecting other people to bale them out. It’s totally unsustainable. But it’s a problem throughout the developed world now and I’m not sure there are leaders out there with the strength to address the problem preferring to always focus on quick fixes with no long term plan.
