A pension isn't a freebee; it's earned. It's not for sharing out amongst those who feel their 'benefits' are being 'unfairly' reduced.

l think Osem is talking about pensioners who are so well off that they simply don't need the old age pension as they have considerable resources to cope without it as some do who are getting other benefits as well.

There you go again misrepresenting the vast majority of people on benefits as scroungers when anybody who has normal intelligence knows that not to be true because as we all know its a small minority who sit on their asses or defraud the system but then again what else can you expect when one is educated by the Daily Mail , The Sun , The Express or various other rags.
