Was remain, now leave. Centre Right. Atheist. Pro freedom of speech. Quite data obsessed. Mostly talking politics.





















Why do people hate the elderly so much? So tired of listening to the left and some on the right, demonising pensioners for daring to draw a pension, mainly after 40-50 years of hard graft and tax paying. The same people don't want to discuss or demonise in the same way the 1 million 18-24 year olds not working/paying tax and only taking from the state. Or the ballooning benefits bill for those who decide that their ailment means that they can just take from the state regardless of contribution. Benefits should be an acute lifeline or safety net for the very small percentage of us who cannot work or need help to get back to work; not a lifetime activity for those who could but don't work. Leave the elderly alone; £12,500 a year is hardly a bounty and they earned it.
