boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Tax breaks for pensions costs the Gov £59b a year add to that the minimum 3% which employers pay which is really a tax on them, then £7b cost for ISAs plus the cost of no NI on pensions You have to add that to the State pension figure 000
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Your argument was a ridiculous league table to pensions That is totally irrelevant to today's pension provision in the UK & across the developed You are either too thick or disingenuous to see that but either way bye 000
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Only 13% of pensioners today and I note your use of the word "provision" so I assume you know that there are other sources of income open to them Regardless we don't set social care policy based on 13% ignoring the circumstances of the other 87% You carry on paying Sugar a triple lock 100
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Only 13% of today's pensioners have the State benefit pension as their only income and going forward it will be far less Tax breaks provided for pensions cost £59b Employers have to pay 3% into pension minimum I don't know if you are lying or just being ignorant of the true position 200
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The UK pension scheme like all modern pensions is multi faceted It consists of tax breaks and employee & employer contributions Its actually very generous The State benefit pension is only one component and currently 13% of pensioners only have that & going forward it will be a lot less 110
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Having worked in a number of countries in Europe workers there understand that they have to pay and save more for health & social care but they get something better in return We have to move on in this country to deliver quality and not talking of "paying through the nose" 100

boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It is not one of the lowest pensions in Europe We have a generous flexible pension scheme There are worker, employee and extremely generous gov tax breaks This how modern pensions work across the world Stop simply referring to the State benefit as the only pension provision 140
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026For higher employed earners you'd have to be a bit mad not to over contribute to your pension Tax relief at 40/45% , 25% tax free & another allowance when you retire It's an amazing deal 000
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It needs explaining The majority of people in receipt of a pension today (like me) are very comfortable to wealthy We need to separate them the majority from the ones that need support The UK pension scheme in totality is generous if you work 230

boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 20/09/2026But it's objectively really weird to have a reaction to a tragic death of a three year old to stand up and applaud People just have to perform and be involved these days, the idea of reflection and thought seems to be lost 142

boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Exactly which is why 51,000 people shouldn't spend a minute applauding the fact People just want to get involved and "perform" these days 100
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 19/09/2026That's because it's not a competitive league 000

boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The point made was we cut spending to reduce deficit and the deficit has grown so it's simple maths to say the cuts in spending weren't enough to reduce the debt To not run things on a shoe string the debt has to be cut as it takes all the money Cut spending or increase tax 100

boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It's simply maths that says spending hasn't been cut enough to reduce debt - look at the debt growth! Too much public money is being spent servicing debt & that debt is moving to shorter term bonds The numbers currently don't stack up we need to either spend less or tax more 200
