@Surfer17Silver @Arwenstar Well of course they do but their anger is directed at the wrong people
English
A lot of people don’t seem to realise they’re going to be old too someday. Do they think they’re immune to ageing? I’d love to be a fly on the wall when it’s their turn to be ‘pensioners’ and they have to read all the callous “selfish old farts” comments.
Karma may take a long time but it never forgets an address.

@jackisgeeky @TheDooling @AlrxCox Needs to be reformed, not removed. Needs a brave politician to do it though.
English
@TheDooling @AlrxCox We voted ourselves out of the EU. We’re not going to vote to remove the state pension.
English
There are 2 common arguments under this post:
1. “We paid in for a pension at the end”. No you didn’t, the state pension, like every other benefit, is paid entirely by today’s national insurance contributions. You never paid into a ring fenced “pension pot”. Baby boomers are also getting ~120-130% out compared to what they paid in.
2. “Is your solution to just make OAPs suffer then?” No, obviously not, the simple and fiscally responsible answer to the triple lock is to change state pension eligibility from universal to those who are in genuine need of it. No more millionaires getting a top up from people who get £20,000 a year, it should be exclusively for pensioners who can’t live without it.
Alex Cox@AlrxCox
The triple lock is honestly one of the worst policies ever thought of. Many of the people who say the benefits bill is too high are the ones making up 48% of it. That’s £150.7 billion so people who had the easiest housing ladder, the best savings rates and the best private pension rates can get a bigger pension than they ever paid in for. It’s a joke of a policy and I wholeheartedly disagree with it.

lol the irony of two middle-aged white men calling a “brown girl” ‘racist’
Morally superior white liberals are the least serious people on the planet 😂

@atticrahman @narindertweets They are standard issue police firearms, you turnip. You want the his protection team to carry water pistols?
English
@narindertweets What threats is he facing that require his armed escorts to have a semi-automatic, and rolling around in a bomb proof 4x4. In the “safest city” in the world.
English
Why do Sadiq’s security team need a semi automatic to protect him in the “safest city” in the world?
GB Politics@GBPolitcs
A semi-automatic Heckler & Koch MP5SF A3 carbine and an Austrian Glock 17 pistol, fitted with at least ten rounds, were found
English
@DaMidgetZimbo “citypool cucks” like those teams wouldn’t bend this current arsenal team over.
English
@StevenJosephR @TheCinesthetic Excellent movie but unfortunately isn't a pick for the original question, as the opening scene isn't "vastly" superior to the rest of the film.
English
Movies with an opening scene that is vastly superior to the rest of the film?
English
@DrizzyDreDreams @LickshotLippy Never said Muslims didn't vote for him, but the Muslim vote alone didn't get him elected.
English
@TrimaxionAI @LickshotLippy Yeah sure, Khan didn’t benefit from the Muslim vote in 2024, also have a look at the areas he performed well in, Tower Hamlets, Newham for example. But stats show his appeal is declining, let’s see what happens 2028.
English
People blaming Sadiq Khan has never made sense to me, I thought people just didn’t like him coz he’s Asian - But it’s actually like you lot want him to be like the mayor from Power Puff girls so he can have a little phone to send out little super heroes to protect the city
HeWantsWealth© 🇯🇲📈💸💎@hewantswealth
A 14-year old boy has just been shot DEAD in Woolwich meanwhile, Sadiq Khan sits comfy in his house, with his family on a £170,282 London salary. When will the violence in London stop? When will gun and knife crime be taken seriously? When will funding be made available for intervention? And WHEN will the Mayor of London STEP DOWN?!
English
@_ronniethompson @MikaelScofield_ @LickshotLippy It's one of the safest large cities in the west. If you want Singapore style safety, you'll have to move there.
English
@MikaelScofield_ @LickshotLippy Why does Khan always try telling everyone it is safe then, all while getting an armed guard wherever he goes in the city
English
@DrizzyDreDreams @LickshotLippy He wasn't voted in because he's Muslim and Labour. Londoners voted in that buffoon Boris Johnson at one time.
English
@LickshotLippy I don’t like Sadiq, but he can’t do everything, but what he can do, he fails at. There are many things he could do, that would hep tackle the problem, but he hasn’t. Sadiq has failed London, if he wasn’t Labour/ Muslim he wouldn’t get voted in, also there’s zero competition.
English
@furbabygirl @NicciHowe @GioDee_10 And it should be stopped for them as well if means testing comes in.
English
@NicciHowe @TrimaxionAI @GioDee_10 How do you means test it though?
I bet all those pensioners in the government and House of Lords claim it.
English
How many women like me were forced to work part-time when their kids were young because there was no free child care, breakfast or after-school clubs then?
Pin money hardly gave us chance to build a pension pot so excuse me if I don’t feel guilty about drawing my state pension.
English
@furbabygirl @NicciHowe @GioDee_10 Unless you're counting a pension as a benefit (which it technically is), no landlord should be on benefits.
English
@NicciHowe @TrimaxionAI @GioDee_10 There are a lot of pensioners who aren’t landlords too.
There are a lot of Labour MPs and people on benefits in London who are landlords too but it’s an inconvenient truth for many.
English
@jackisgeeky @AlrxCox Maybe shouldn't trust promises from the government that may or may not be fulfilled decades into the future.
English
@furbabygirl @GioDee_10 I think the argument is more against the triple lock than pensions themselves.
Something needs to be done as the current setup is not viable long term.
English
@GioDee_10 I’m not criticising young people, I’m defending pensioners being told they shouldn’t be allowed a state pension.
English
@staffy_tv @priyaee Just unexpected. But agree with your comments on this Aunty Tom grifter.
English
Yes.
The Islamic World largely supports and encourages vial, barbaric, and oppressive behaviors/practices like rape, incest, polygamy, child marriage, and etc…
American culture is in every way, shape, and form superior to that.
There are over 50 Islamic countries, go live there if that is your preferred way of life.
But those cultures are NOT welcome here in the United States.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"When you take an entire group of people and say they are lesser than us, that is pure bigotry." Brian Shapiro calls out Priya Patel for saying Muslims are an 'inferior culture'. Watch more👇 📺 youtu.be/bj3hUeIShaw @piersmorgan | @priyaee | @TheBrianShapiro

@staffy_tv @priyaee Holy cow. Didn't expect to see Staffy in the comments. 👍

@Elizabe76580812 @Benjibontheta @canadiancarol1 No one "pays" into anything. There is no pot being filled up by NI contributions. The current setup is a legal Ponzi scheme that is unviable in the long term.
English
@Benjibontheta @canadiancarol1 At least they have paid into the system, (for at least 40/50 years)....They don't get a fortune & at 67 years old,most of them are not physically fit enough to work...Do the people who are moaning about the pensioners, not realise that they'll get old one day! Divide & Conquer!
English
The anger against pensioners on here is enlightening .... envy, jealousy and greed with no perception as to who will pay for their old age - because it is all about the NOW and entitlement.
English
@VMxRG @MysterEGemini @catsen Certainly the most emotional movie I have ever seen (speaking as a dad).
English
@MysterEGemini @catsen You’re wrong. Space Oddysey was just ahead of its time. Interstellar is the best “space” sci-fi movie of all time …it’s not close
English
@neal_preshner @NJM71 NI doesn't fund pensions for today's pensioners. It's just another form of income tax that is used for general government spending.
English
This again. It's not the responsibility of younger generations to fund state pension benefits = to a "living wage" for retired people. Current pensioners didn't do it, nor did they fund a triple lock. Regardless, people can't expect others to fund 100% of their retirement.
Sensible Simon@simonwatt85
The National Living Wage is right now, £12.21 per hour. In a 35 hour week you will earn £427.35 so in a year it’s £22,222 Presumably they call it a living wage because that gives you enough to live on. A pensioner gets £10,000 less than that. Greedy blighters.
