yes and fair play I respect you for it. I am sure you have had a high standard of living and enjoyed a good life for your hard work to? and you have self respect. As I said it is a very emotive subject but still alters nothing really the state pension is rapidly increasing and is unsustainable

The you've worked hard all your life, been a net contributor to the system, well we want it all, and you can't have anything back - you richer than me greedy *******. You keep paying for me.

utter crap
All I am saying is the state pension keeps rising and no one is prepared to accept it is a problem. Instead you have a pop and totally ignore the facts
Having to repeat myself because people ignore what I am saying and make assumptions that I want their tax
