Understood.

All retiree welfare good as they've all contributed more than their share and it's their own money, all working age welfare bad as none of them have contributed anything. Apart from welfare for the disabled, that needs reviewing as it's potentially bad.

You may get a kick out of the views of the Conservative MP for Bracknell. Someone else with an 'anti-parental' stance it seems.

This obviously ignoring those oldie-haters on the BBC article.

They have a great point - the Chancellor is full of it on this one and should be offering this to everyone or, better yet, the Bank of England should quit with the 'emergency' low interest rates and start trying to return us to some semblance of normality a step at a time.
