Re: Labour are insane

Most have it tied up in property, income is only one element. However the 'triple lock' is unaffordable, giving free TV, bus rides etc to rich pensioners is a farce. You can be sure this won't be there when most of us retire, if we ever do.

In 2014/15, the average weekly income of a pensioner was £297, or around £15k per year.

Affluent?
I'd say £15k is a decent income for a pensioner, assuming they own their own house. However we obviously live in different worlds Hugh !
