Yeah, but there was a time when as a white person you'd avoid Brixton. Things change. Multiculturalism was our strength until Brexidiots decided to declare war on anyone of difference. Current tensions have been created by Führage & the Tories.

The Tories moved the pension age years ago. Some pensioners are struggling but the vast majority are not.

It's the ones who are struggling who need the support not the 10m who are not. To keep the tripple lock because less 1/3 of pensioners need it is not sensible in the current situation. Although I know Britain has one of the lowest state pensions.

Ramplkev @kevr.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
If he does the sums correctly those who need the pension will be catered for. 69% of pensioners have a private pension and for many of those their income exceeds the average UK salary of £40k. There is room manoeuvre particularly if care for the elderly is potentially paid for.

I understand your point of view & my wife shares it but the country is broke & broken & social care is in a mess. I can see an argument for redistributing the tripple lock increase moneys away from those who can afford not have an increase to the areas desperate for funding.

Do we need the universal tripple lock pension? Many receiving state pension are also in receipt of large private pensions. Should not resources go to those most in need ie through top up using the benefits system?
