Got real competition though ... Never Forget they said, in Likud's case because they wanted a genocidal template.

Thatcher also broke the link between the State Pension and average earnings in 1980. Despite the 'Triple Lock' the Basic State Pension (that's the one the majority of current pensioners receive) still has not recovered its relationship. That's despite the decline in the value of average earnings!

I used to share holocaust memorial memes and promote the memorial day here in the UK. I can no longer do this as Israelis now seem to be the ones that have forgotten. Netanyahu is wanted for war crimes. www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/ne...

The words of a war criminal. Britain must shun this obscene version of our former ally, swing back to the EU and hope that this war brings regime change to the failed USA. I've now sold all my USA investments and bought a Kia EV3 car, my first non Ford purchase after 47 years driving.

Yes, me too, I used a Nokia 6230 Feature Phone as one of my test platforms for my 2005 MSc Research into Local Government Mobile Apps. One aim was to demonstrate the use of modest everyday phones that people actually owned.

Democrat Gavin Newsom critiques Europe but Trump is a 100% a USA failing. The damage is done, my boycotts are in place, my pension fund investments in the USA have been repatriated to the UK and Europe, for the first time since the 1970's I'm not buying a Ford but a Kia. Bye Bye American Pie.

In 1981 Thatcher broke the link with earnings when pensions were over 25% of earnings. Triple Lock has yet to restore their value to that level for the basic state pensions that the majority receive. The New State pension, that the minority receive, is closer to the 1981 level.

Deembe @deembe.co.uk · 03/09/2025
Young people, already struggling with low wages and high living costs, are being encouraged to believe that state pensioners are having a different experience. In reality state pensions have not recovered to their 1981 value in relation to earnings. Don't let the right-wing steal your future.

‪ I really enjoyed doing the Sing Pop workshops this year. It was a daunting but rewarding challenge to stand at the mic and sing: Heroes ~ David Bowie, The Night ~ Frankie Valli, Valerie ~ The Zutons and here, with my backing vocalists, I'm a Believer ~ The Monkees. www.lmorrellmusic.co.uk/workshop

Opinion: The UK State Pension Triple Lock should end when the pension is back to 26% of average earnings, it's level before Thatcher broke the link with earnings. This should be the case independently for both the old & new state pensions Both should then be maintained at that level.

Netanyahu should be arrested the first time he sets foot in a country that is signatory to the ICC and transported to The Hague for trial as the war criminal that he plainly is. Meanwhile Trump's USA turns a very revealing but disgraceful blind eye and welcomes the wanted criminal to the ShiteHouse.

Another set of guitar tabs / lead sheets consigned to the right-wing racist musicians dustbin. Rod's foolish support of Enoch Powell you could put down to immaturity. The passing of the years should have led to some reflection, especially given the music of Black origin that he often sang. Bye Rod.

So some of the worst paid pensioners in Europe might be getting back some of the winter fuel allowance, maybe. In the interim Labour are keen to remind us that they didn't take away the LibDems Pension Triple Lock, that was designed to close the gap with wages created by Snatcher Thatcher in 1981.

Labour are making it incredibly easy to return to voting on progressive principles, for either LibDems or Greens. My vote may be 'squandered' but I will not be an enabler. UK is already an #IslandOfStrangers, white British people that behave like the Nazis that Churchill led us to overcome.

As we commemorate VE day, remember that Russia invaded Poland in 1939 in a pact with Nazis before being invaded itself in 1941. 80 years on Putin's Russia is still doing imperialist aggression and murdering its neighbours.

Need is a funny word to use with regards to a universal benefit that gives all taxpayers a stake in the UK. Universal benefits are highly efficient and ensure coverage such that no-one misses out. As a reminder here are positives of LibDems reining previous right-wing Governments.

So The Conservatives now claiming that the Liberal Democrats Triple Lock Pensions Policy was theirs, introduced as a condition of the coalition agreement. So that gives them the right to threaten pensioners just as Thatcher did in 1971 when the link to earnings was removed.

And where does the Government get its money from if not tax and the pension qualifying National Insurance contributions, the magic money tree? Reminder that the UK's 'generous' state pension sits in 15th place in Europe, that's one place behind war torn Ukraine. [Source: Almond Financial]

Just compare the Basic State Pension, that 66% of pensioners receive, related to average earnings today with its relationship in 1981 reveals how today's pensioner's have been cheated. People selling private pensions have vested interest in peddling this propaganda.

Another Fascist regime, this one the most breathtaking example given their history. They tell us to never forget but then undertake genocide themselves. Truly shameful Israel, I used to think far better of you. I used to share Holocaust memorial news, not images of murdered Palestinians.
