Burnham could just decide to pay all pensioners £180 a week, take it or leave it.
What we gonna do, go on strike?
I wouldn't mind a reduced pension
IF I could find a nice little part time job to make it up . . like old folk used to. Now we're screwed because of the National Minimum Wage . . which means it's cheaper to employ someone aged between 16 & 20 instead.
Don't get me wrong, they need jobs too, but for more than 8 hours a week or it doesn't make sense.
Anyway, if you get young people into work they'll (usually) pay Tax & NI, but if you set a minimum wage, jobs on offer start disappearing
