Re: Pay millennials £10,000 and tax working pensioners

To buy my first house I worked full time in the day and worked five nights a week, although I accept that house prices are much more expensive now.

One of the few things that Cameron did that I agreed with was to scrap the children's trust funds, so I can't see this happen either as it's an even higher figure.

They are thinking of scrapping the exemption for NI contributions for pensioners who continue to work, which I have long called for. Those who can afford to should pay for their prescriptions too.

Maggie makes a good point though, they should be going after the tax avoiders (and the bankers who got us into this mess). I don't believe that a single one has been brought to justice for bringing the country to it's knees.
