Reposted by @jayanne.bsky.socialPam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s a good question. It’s down to govt mismanagement. It was intended, in 1945, that each generation after the 1st would be paid out of a fund they’d paid into - National *Insurance*. But instead, each generation has paid the pensions of the one above, & successive govts gaslighted us about it 483

jayanne.bsky.social @jayanne.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Encouraging the link between identity and nationality gains its strength through the nebulous , shifting concepts that the idea of nationality is based on .
