All these bright young middle class Millenials & Gen Zers think they are fighting an enemy today their own grandparents not understanding that removing pensions for this generation means you remove it from every generation with a different life experience they dont even have the empathy for their future selves.

Pensioners may wish to consider that responding to working people’s struggles with contempt and vitriol, as evidenced in the replies, might not be a great long-term strategy if they want to keep their benefits.

@Anas_Sloth @BenedictSpence Time comes rapidly down the road at an alarming speed. People don't stay young forever, the young will age and like some old fable discover that it's them that won't get that State Pension they gleefully campaigned to abolish to annoy the boomers. That's the cautionary tale.

@Anas_Sloth @BenedictSpence "If they want to keep their benefits" he says. Benedict has perhaps an issue with time. Pensioners aren't a static group, every year some die, and new ones reach pension age. But you're right unless YOU protect pensions you won't have any. Be careful what you seek to destroy.

@andie52 @francessmith @BenedictSpence The whole point was that focus on pentioners from the governmner isnt a good strategy. The moment I say this people get very diffensive. Its unsustainable to have above inflation increases. As for the other benefits to non contributes I agree its a bigger problem.

Andie T@andie52·13h

@Anas_Sloth @francessmith @BenedictSpence It's also unsustainable to dish out benefits to those who refuse to work, but here we are. Remember the state pension is a contributory benefit and is taxable, so it's only fair that benefits should go the same way, no? Direct your anger at those in charge, not old people.

Ah yes - Sandy. A young and aspirational graduate, say, with a job at the Barclays in Canary Wharf, should definitely move a 3-hour commute away from London - to a place where they have no friends, no family and no support network.

You can buy a nice little house like this in Suffolk with a 5% deposit of £6,000. Nationwide, Barclays and others are offering good deals for first time buyers with only a 5% deposit. But then you'd have to forego your gap year in the Far East and Antipodes or your fancy wedding. Poor you. Boo hoo. 🤣

@Pabel5Pabel @SustainableTall The majority didn't? There was a huge shift to cities even from the older generation. Lots of towns were pushed to poverty with the de-indastralisation of UK. Dont expect young people to move to remote a reason and then not allow them to move their jobs.

27% are millionaires, mostly via property, but most have no private pension and rely entirely on the state, which is in deep distress. This system is going to forcibly correct via collapse, whereby pensioners will sell off their properties at discounted rates (probably to asset managers). The state pension will either cease to exist or become means tested. I'm not saying this to be hurtful, this is just the way it's going to go. And if I was a pensioner I'd feel pretty angry that this is coming because I *thought* I had done the right thing for my whole life. Today's pensioners will soon end up betrayed by the system just like the youth have been already.
