Re. The Waspi promise, ok it’ll cost a lot of money but shouldn’t a few subtractions be made? What about the women who’ve passed away since the age increase? What about the extra tax and N.I. that’s been paid into the system by women who’ve had to carry on working from the age of 60 to 65? What about pension top up schemes that the women in this age group haven’t been able to claim as they aren’t now of retirement age? These women deserve it a bit more than bankers who were bailed out for much, much more than the cost of this. How much did this evil government pay to the DUP to shore them up? How much did the ridiculous referendum cost when the in or out should have been decided by people who we pay to make these vital, life changing decisions, our elected MPs? Money is wasted left, right & centre but this isn’t a waste if it’s reimbursed, it’s a moral duty by a country that has failed & conned human beings, very important to remember the people, they do matter.
I would rather a shit house coward be in charge of the country than Jeremy Corbyn and John Mcdonnell. That says it all for me.
How does what you say square with the fact that employment is currently at its highest rate (76%) since records were started to be kept in 1971. Unemployment rates are also at their lowest since about 1974 (3.8%). The economy is therefore doing rather well. Also most of the problems you outline were caused by the last Labour Government almost bankrupting the country pre 2010.
The Tories have concluded that springing Boris loose everywhere yelping ‘Get Brexit done’ will probably be enough to secure a majority. Scrutiny can only damage their chances.
How about the current government forcing people to take poverty line jobs on zero hour contracts because they'll have their benefits cut, they are probably worse off working, have no structure and minimal working conditions, people are becoming poorer if you care to look but the stats can add up to anything that the Tory bastards want them to. The Economy usually means sweet FA to the poorest and most vulnerable, gig economy jobs that are propped up with welfare payments keep people poor, but these people are off the statistics. Good for government and good for the Businesses who employ these people.
Zero hour contracts came to the fore between 2004 and 2009 (I know because I was one of the people who was made redundant at the time and put onto one by my employers) so this is not a Tory invention. It was as a result of the Countries financial problems at the time, presided over by a Labour Government, with many companies struggling and large numbers of properties being repossessed. The vast majority of jobs created since 2015 have been full or part time positions and at the same time tax free allowances and national/living wage rates have been increased dramatically, so it cannot possibly be said that the Economy has been poorly run in the last nine years.
Sssh you cant say that, the financial crash didn't happen ,Ireland , Iceland and Greece didn't need bailing out , cost went up 10%, we were prepared for any crash , and austerity was not needed , and that note left by Labours Liam Byrne , which said "there's no money left" was a simple joke ,cause we had loads of dosh and quantity easing wasn't needed
You are talking my language but are you saying that everyone who had their retirement age moved should be reimbursed?
My mum fits into the category that waspi are campaigning to help but she doesn't think she is entitled, for a start she doesn't need the money and she also feels she was given enough notice. She believes that there are people entitled to be reimbursed, but that it is far below the figure cited by waspi.
Agree fully with the principle that money has been spent or far less worthy causes but i think in the context of other more poignant causes I don't feel this is worth saddling the next generation with having to pay for it (especially since we will likely retire at 70+ despite having a similar life expectancy...)
How do you know that its my Tory lot by the way - I have voted for a number of different parties in the past but there is more chance of hell freezing over than me voting for these current ‘Labour bastards’ with their stalinist, anti-semitic, terrorist loving leader, shadow chancellor and policies designed to bankrupt the country.
