We should have our fluorescent gilets on and be tearing down parliament. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/feb/09/raising-uk-state-pension-age Some paid for RW think tank* says 'we think they should raise the pension age' and everyone scuttles around talking about it? I and many others think the pension ages shouldn't have risen and the amount you get needs vastly upped. Let them discuss that instead. *I can't see any info on how they're funded so I'm making some assumptions. Sue me if I'm wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to hate Biden as much as Trump because of his lack of self reflection. Clinton took office 31 years ago. He is still younger than Trump and Biden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 3 hours ago, Gemmill said: There is such an echo chamber now between the populist Tory policies of the day (immigrants, grooming gangs, trans rights, 30mph zones, electric cars etc) and the right wing papers/GB news lot that report on it, that they're cognitively dissonant to the fact that 80% of the country couldn't give a fuck about most of that and are more interested in interest rates, the NHS, the Brexit mess etc. Long May it continue. Most moderate Tories have left the cabinet and most of the senior ministers left are 1% ers and on a different fucking planet. Dom Cummings is a cunt, but he knew how to read the room most of the time 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Cummings is a cunt, but he knew how to read the room most of the time It plays to my dad’s generation. My dad isn’t that bad (although he’s getting worse). A lot of them are insulated from most of the effects of the Tories’ fuck ups economically. Because they don’t have a mortgage to pay and they retired well before they were 60 on silly public sector pensions. Once they’re gone there isn’t a similar generation to replace them because no one else is ever having it so good. Reports of the Tories’ death in the past have been greatly exaggerated but, for this particular brand of what has always been a brigade of utter cunts, they have a very niche appeal. I don’t see people forgetting it in a hurry either because all most people really care about is their own standard of living. The daft old bastards who sit tutting at GB News all day (not my dad but I know a few) are quite literally a dying breed. It’s a fucking shame it’s come to this but just maybe it’s the shake up this country needs. Although not if the press has anything to do with it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
