Many pensioners are really struggling, however, and it'd be wrong to expect them to pay more/receive less but a good number are doing very nicely thank you and although that may be down to their prudence, they can't really expect to be immune form the pain any more than our kids can. It may be unfair but blame is irrelevant because you can only take from those who have something.

My Dad get 28.5 k a year pension and still gets state pension yes he paid his stamp and yes he should get it but with people living longer the figures keep rising yet no one ever brings it up. When is it to much ? when its 200 billion in 2030? and I bet the sick and unemployed are still blamed then
