Some people retire at 50, so technically become pensioners (i.e. living off a pension... does that give them the right to not pay their taxes).

The law's the law, and we all have to pay taxes. I'd like to cherry pick the taxes I pay but unfortunately I can't. I don't see why older people should be able to either.
But she wasn't refusing to pay her tax, was she? Just trying to get the point across that her pension had not increased at the same rate her couincil tax had - how on earth is she supposed to pay for it?
