@shivmalik You’re blaming the wrong people. Your ire should be directed at the government that created the conditions that has resulted in what we have now. It’s not the “boomer’s” fault for living in the circumstances the best they could bringing up the next generation.🤷‍♂️

Shiv Malik@shivmalik·18h

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.

@ReemAmirIbrahim Ok, so they sell their house to millionaires/developers to buy a smaller home and have a whole load of cash in the bank. Now as cash buyers they're in direct competition with younger people already struggling to get on the housing ladder pushing up demand and prices. Nice one...

Reem Ibrahim@ReemAmirIbrahim·14h

Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement? If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!

No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire

@oldtrafffaith @mrchrisjohn @sophielouisecc How would one “release” the equity without selling up, or is selling the solution?🤔

English

Robert Watson@oldtrafffaith·21h

@mrchrisjohn @sophielouisecc Equity release. 1 in 4 retirees have assets in excess of £1m. 25% equity release gives them about £100k more than their state pension would in 15 years. They pay nothing back until they die. 25% of the state pension cut overnight as 25% of them no longer need it.

@john51885 @liberal_elite_ @isnit0 @DannyBee595 Yep sure, plus tax rebates for NHS, child benefits, PIP, JSA, DLA, UC, housing etc

English

John Smith@john51885·20h

@_ManFromUncle @liberal_elite_ @isnit0 @DannyBee595 Cool, so if I am not given it I need a refund with interest of 90% of all payments I've plus interest to put into a private pension scheme for myself.

PSA: Pensioner Spending is the single largest line item here - *£160bn*. More than half of all benefit spending. More than NHS England, or all NHS Providers. Want to pay less tax? Reduce the benefits we give to people who’ve had an entire life to prepare and save.

@Heccles94 Jesus did what he did for the benefit of others, the Leftards wokerati do what they do for themselves to elevate their social status and retreat to their safe spaces because of mean words and hurt feelings.

@cezthesocialist Define “old people”. I’ve been working over 30 years and still working paying my taxes. Pensioners still pay taxes on their pensions from their private schemes. So no, young people are not the only ones. However, the current generation are the most entitled whingers ever.🤷‍♂️

English

cez@cezthesocialist·1d

Young people are the only generation who support welfare for all who need it. Old people only support it when it benefits themselves.

cez@cezthesocialist

Young people overwhelmingly support policies that only benefit old people. Old people overwhelmingly oppose policies that benefit young people, and the entire economy, because they’re spiteful cunts. But remember its old people being bullied by lazy young people after their money

English

Jack Dart@JackWDart·1d

One woman is killed by a man every three days in the United Kingdom. One in four have been raped or sexually assaulted. 93% of domestic abuse perpetrators are male. This is on us. It is on men. We have to do better.

Billionaires do not create jobs. Stop saying it. Without billionaires, we would still build things, design things, teach things, sell things, buy things. Billionaires capitalise profits. That's it.

@BladeoftheS But it would generate billions in tax revenue to fund/improve public services….oh well🤷‍♂️

English

BladeoftheSun@BladeoftheS·1d

I will just point out two simple facts, UK oil is completely privatised Secondly the UK does not even produce 1% of the world's oil and gas. So it doesn't matter how much oil and gas we drill in the UK you don't own any of it and there is so little it won't affect Global prices

@_ManFromUncle @StuartP97208909 @ReformSecYork @CarolineLucas @BBCr4today No doubt. But how on earth does that equate to "we should invest more into fossil fuels"?? I have not once said DIVEST. Just not investing more. It's really not that difficult to follow.

Did @BBCr4today really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

@JToulson @StuartP97208909 @ReformSecYork @CarolineLucas @BBCr4today Unfortunately everyone, even the eco-warrior, still relies heavily on fossil fuels, not just for energy.🤷‍♂️

@StuartP97208909 @_ManFromUncle @ReformSecYork @CarolineLucas @BBCr4today "costly & inefficient" 😂 Shame fossil fuels are a limited resource, destroy the planet and, due to being an international commodity, make our economy susceptible to geopolitics.

@JonathanRo11063 @ElginWhites2022 @PeterMcCormack @sophielouisecc You can make an argument against the triple lock which is a valid point. But state pension is, in my opinion, to be protected and be available to all who for decades have paid NI and that pensioners are some of the most vulnerable in society.

@CarolineLucas Climate credentials? What climate credentials? Name one country that looks to the UK as a leader in ending fossil fuels.🤷‍♂️ Net zero is damaging the UK economy and working people are struggling paying some of the highest energy prices in the world.

English

Caroline Lucas@CarolineLucas·2d

A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials. As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation

English

A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.
