OAPs must be finding it difficult to manage funds right now. If they are on the internet, which may be unlikely, then they will end up paying more for food and delivery. If they're not then corner shops are expensive. Having to stay in they will use more heating, phone calls, etc .
Come on Doris cough up.

UK state pension worst in the developed world: https://www.ftadviser.com/pensions/2018/02/13/uk-state-pension-worst-in-the-developed-world/
What a fine way to repay the people who made this country. |

pension age will probably have to increase after this anyway - probably to 70 ...tax hikes and inflation need to be pegged back

By:
Tax the rich and the young they only squander money. Pension age will increase until there are no pensioners. How come MPs get a good annual pay rise?

Not sure what point your making. Just look at where the UK is in terms of state pension. Private pensions are a different matter.

Good news is that he won’t be delayed by stopping off for a pint or a burger.

When he arrives, inquire as to his pension arrangements.

^^^^the point is that using the basic figure in that article is misleading as most get more than that. Also other countries like France know that their entirely state funded system is unsustainable - they have taken a lot of money from employers and employees and now can't pay the bill.

What %age of people on state pension also have private pensions?
I'd imagine it fairly high in those who have retired in the past 15 years or so. I don't think raising the pensions is such a good idea. Possibly looking to help in other ways. I'd take it but as I still manage to save each year it wouldn't be merited. |

Since it is the pensioners who are going to take the bulk of the casualties from Corona
It is right to divided the money saved among the rest of us pensioners Seems a good idea to me |
