RE: State pension to increase by £400 a year4 Sep 2024 07:59
So a pensioner will find that their state pension rises to around half the minimum wage - how can you, stp be happy that anything is taken from that group, many of whom paid NI for 50 years?
Private pensions are in effect deferred salary , meaning that they lived on less , whilst earning and saving for the future - they will have contributed again for 40- 50 years and the money is theirs. People should be looking at the billions wasted supporting those who have arrived here in the last few years and paid nothing in or those swinging the lead and paying nothing in not private or state pensioners , all of whom deserve better.
