I would like all the triple lock defenders to give me a percentage of gdp spent on pensions that would be too much
Fiona Sinclair@fionasins_
Controversial opinions to round out the night: 1. Abolishing the triple lock is silly austerity slop politics 2. Military Keynesianism is Good, Actually 3. Hatred for farmers and hatred for pensioners fall under the same category of neoliberal faux edgy

How? Regardless of the result in May, the SNP will not have the power to hold a referendum. Which means the new Government will be focussed on delivering something that it can't do, ignoring all the other issues it can deal with.

one generation got affordable housing, final salary pensions and free tuition. the other got told to go into debt to get a fine arts degree.

27% of pensioners are millionaires according to ONS wealth surveys.

You got significant tax relief on your mortgage payment through (MIRAS) in the 80s and 90s on a property which was far cheaper than homes today.
Jen k 🇬🇧🏴@Jenny_1884
When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to. We rented our TV Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine. Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents. We went without until we could save enough to pay for something. It’s always been hard whether you are young or old. So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t. Our governments are to blame, not the old.

Means test the State Pension. Freeze it for three years. Increase the SPA to 70. Abolish the Triple Lock.

@alan_muso How do you know you worked harder than me?
You just sound angry because you want children to be your slave.
English
No man wants his kids to have it less than he did. They will do everything to leave their kids with a better life.
Yet collectively we do the opposite. We expect our children to pay for stuff we want now by sacrificing their future.
This is the most cowardly act.

@isnit0 Oh look another prick wanting everythig handed to him, entilted prick

@linmeitalks The country cant run out of money, they print it

A Lifetime of memories don’t pay the bills.
UK welfare spending is set to rise by £18 billion to reach £333 billion this year (£153 billion is state pension).
This bill is projected to climb to over £400 billion by the end of the decade, exceeding current income tax revenue.
HOW DO YOU PROPOSE WE PAY FOR IT?
BB Jones 🩵🏴🇬🇧@LB250631
@linmeitalks These ‘boomers’ as you so disrespectfully label them often have a lifetime of memories and love cocooned in their home. Their children will inherit in time. If you were my child I would be ashamed at your selfishness and level of entitlement.
English
@linmeitalks Stop leaching off your mum and make your own way in life
English
There are boomers sitting in large houses who don’t even want to free up equity or sell their house to help their own children get on the ladder.
This is the level of selfishness we are dealing with.
Thank god for parents like my mother
She would sell her house in Tottenham tomorrow if it meant helping me…. And I would do anything to make her life comfortable- that’s what family is about. An eco system of giving.
These days many boomers don’t want to help with grandchildren or finacial assistance and children don’t want to help their parents - so much selfishness between recent generations and it will get worse.
English
If pensioners want more money from younger taxpayers to fund their retirements, there’s a really easy way to make that happen: sell them your stuff.
English
Government pensions are a scam.
Younger workers are paying more and more to fund a system that is mathematically impossible to sustain.
Would you scrap the triple lock?
English
Children’s futures are more important than those of pensioners. This should be very basic to even unintelligent life forms.
English
What makes a pensioner more deserving of protection from market forces than, say, a young family?
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire

@BeormasSpam @agw1437 If your not happy with your past life choices choose wiser in the future
English
@spongebobsbobby @agw1437 Ah yes, imagine a child whose family know nothing about university and who is only pushed into one thing because he’s smart and calling him gullible. Fine, old people are gullible too, what’s their excuse?
English
When it comes to pensioners, ignorance of how things work excuses them from the consequences, but when a young person talks about how they were conned into going to uni and getting into debt, with almost zero returns on the investment, it’s our fault and we need to suck it up.
Arron Banks@Arron_banks
We need to look after our elderly, they paid vast amounts of NI & no one told them it was a political Ponzi scheme. This country needs to cut regulation to the bone, reduce the size of the state & go after the 8 million on benefits.

@harrowthefirst1 @soetsappies Oh look a she/her talking about the grasp of realtity

@soetsappies Because they're demented, malicious old farts with only the most tenuous grasp on reality.

@SifiReturned Fuck off and cry some where else and then try working a bit harder
English
Boomers cannot even pretend to care about young people.
They will rob us blind and then be outraged if we even object, gaslighting us that everything is better now when it’s only better for them.
English
@BenedictSpence so you want to starve pensioners, what a prick
English
It’s funny seeing pensioners raging about the “politics of envy” when they’re getting upset that money they haven’t earned might go to, say, children instead of them.
English
@shivmalik Try blaming the gov for a lack of housing it is their job to sort things out suply and demand ,
English
Dear boomers, can you afford to buy the house you live in currently with the wage you used to earn before you retired? If you can’t, then that’s the whole housing problem in a nutshell. It really is that simple to understand.
