@LouiseGrace12 @Fiona35352137 @PatrickChristys The state pension is a safety net, designed to be supplemented by other forms of income. It is not the job level income which boomers seek. They have such difficulty understanding this & that the current size of the state unsustainable. They cannot engage without being nasty.

@JRB___2 @Fiona35352137 @PatrickChristys There are creative ways to approach, and allow the meagre state pension to provide an appropriate level of support for those pensioners for whom it's essential. Takes political savvy & priority adjustment. Your comment ironic!

@PatrickChristys Have you seen the concerted effort that’s in motion, to attack pensioners in the past few days? This is not acceptable and I would go as far as to say it’s incitement from some who should know better. I’m happy to discuss, as frankly, I’m at the end of tether

@Fiona35352137 @ManOfKent15 I’m sorry you feel intimidated and bullied. Nothing I’ve done warrants that characterisation.

The 1946 National Insurance Act was called 'the best insurance policy the British people ever had' by the Labour government at that time. It entitled pensioners to a contribution-based pension that would not be means-tested. To renege on that contract now would be one of the biggest betrayals of the British people ever.

This @SandyofSuffolk blocked me ages ago. She’s now resurfaced to tell young people that they shouldn’t marry, shouldn’t eat, shouldn’t holiday, should commute for 3 hours, and should live in a shithole. If we forsake any of this, we are lazy. The epitome of the eternal boomer.

Our issue is with the triple lock. It was widely understood by experts, policymakers, and its creators to be a temporary measure intended to run for a limited period, rather than a permanent fixture of the UK pension. No other group has this level of security or will have this security when it comes to their pension age. In an ideal world we would love for them to have it, but young people aren’t seeing any meaningful wage increase vs cost of living, they suffer with home insecurity leading to a drop in birth rates and crippling university fees…. When will younger generations be looked after or considered for anything ???

@JRB___2 @Benjibontheta @canadiancarol1 Your generation couldn’t teach me shit about ‘financial responsibility’ ffs! You MUST have the latest phones - on contract, new cars - on PCP, nice flats in the best parts of town - rented, etc. Your generation just ‘wants’ everything now, like it’s your god given right!

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.

@ScottGoetz_ It's always striking because it's not just deflection or defensiveness, they get incredibly nasty and spiteful whenever it gets pointed out. It's like they have this victim complex and don't want to concede that later generations have it worse than they did Very weird phenomenon

Nice one Sandy, instead of advocating for fair policies that give the young an opportunity at homeownership we should just tell them to drop their careers and confine themselves halfway across the country to a cherrypicked backwater in the middle of nowhere. 👍🏻

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. 🤣

You can downsize to a nice little house in Lowerstoft, release that equity no need for the state pension. It's moronic both ways...

@Fiona35352137 @jakedeverell @SandyofSuffolk @DrChrisParry She can’t take facts or reply with reason in a decent manner. Apparently everyone is a bully for pointing out that the triple lock she feels so entitled to is unsustainable. Like a spoilt child stamping its feet.

@ScottGoetz_ Maybe it’s the reality that they’ve squandered the best period of their life

Never will understand why old people get so viciously angry when it is explained to them they bought houses at a good time and it would be nice if similar conditions existed now. I suppose it is just insecurity at the idea owning a home really wasn’t a grand achievement for them.
Sandy Tregent@SandyofSuffolk

Read the comments under my original post. You show them houses they can afford and they come up with spurious excuse after spurious excuse why they can't. Good God, these people. No wonder the country is doomed. Hardly anyone under about 40 wants to get off their bums and actually do anything to make their lives better. But they'll moan at pensioners. 🙄
