Reply to: Lock up your pensions

So in a pathetic attempt to try and counter Corbyn they're going to go after the youth vote and end up losing a chunk of their older voters.

Corbyn is basically governing by proxy now.

All we need now is for them to implement some of his policies on foreign policy and taxing the super rich/multinationals. Let's see how desperate they get.

Ed Milliband's manifesto is in full flow now and I can only see the Tories shifting further left to counter the perceived threat.
Even so. It's May that's weak not Corbyn being strong.
The Tory plan is to get Brexit finished (they don't care how well it's done any more) and replace May with someone who'll make it all better (god save us if it's that twat Boris).
And it'll probably work as without Scotland Corbyn will struggle to get a majority. Not without the centre ground.

Raiding my pension to prop up the housing market. As if it wasn't bad enough with low interest rates

[vetran]

So where do you fit into this demographic then??

he can't remember his manners or toilet training either!

The kids aren't as stupid as people believe.

If the Tories want to win the next three elections they just need to start massive house building and ban non-UK residents from buying the properties.

Bring on the Brexit

I'm more worried they're allowing pensions to be seen as a worthwhile investment for the future, what with salary sacrifice to reduce personal tax bill.

Inevitable they're doing that to let us build a big enough pot to fail the means test for state pension, and to have an easy target for raids when they need a few billion for their own vested interests.

He’s a non-EU resident.

and neither a kid, grown-up, or pensioner?
so he's a foetus or a corpse?

They are though. But then so are the grown-ups and pensioners.

No one can remember a decade they weren't born in.

Have I misread my calendar?
Is it national state the bleeding obvious day today?

[SueEllen]

I wasn't suggesting they are stupid. They're far better educated than my parents generation, and arguably better than mine.

They may not remember the 70s mind, but that's kinda not their fault.

As for the next 3 elections,.,... They should concentrate on not f***king up Brexit.

[SueEllen]

yup.

Doing it for 'the kids' is simply a direct response to Corbyn.

Pension reliefs were going to be cut at some point due to the lower tax take. They just needed an excuse to do it.
