Andrew Neil Interview

[BrilloPad]

At least the money is going into the pockets of people who deserve it the most. Unlike the Tories who are interested in making millionaires into multi millionaires and multi millionaires into billionaires. The rest of the population can go feck themselves. It seems if you are a big donor of Tory party you will do well when they get into power. It's the biggest cash grab in history but the only thing the general population is worried about is a poor pensioner getting what they are entitled to.

It went so well during the last Labour government didn't it?

Inequality has been increasing since the last depression.

One party wants to spend money on infrastructure, pension black holes = they get ridiculed.

One party wants to spend money on DUP votes, meaningless referendum, £100b+ on HS2 = and they are champions of the people.

Right wing press really has got the country where it wants it.

Thing is - the impact on pensioners is something which is real and will affect people me and you know.

If a couple of rich people get richer we will neither know nor care as there are always rich people who have considerably more money than us.

Obviously not looking for the 'Boomer' vote then....

These pensioners will be receiving free or heavily subsidised social care that is clearly worth from ten to a hundred times the figure stated.

I'd be concentrating on what they'll be getting for any extra tax paid rather than the money aspect itself, as we all do with the NHS and other services paid for via taxation.

I think specifically focusing on the last decade is important. Just this morning in the FT (search for the link on google, if you don't subscribe, to view):


UK north-south divide -
UK region inequality one of worst in developed world.

Health, jobs, disposable income and productivity more polarised, says study

Really!! Where do I apply!?!

After well over 40 years in work I get £7k a year from the state with no available benefits.

And out of the pension I saved up for myself, I pay for private heath care...


Perhaps visit one of the reality checking websites... or frame your arguments more clearly.

It's not going into anyone's pockets. It's all going down the swanny...
