Pension savings - I was wrong

Lady boys?

I don't think so, but now you mention it ......

[SueEllen]

So would I, but for a completely different reason

exactly. State pension is £700/month which is the lowest in the developed world.
After paying the bills you will have money left to eat canned food only. I would rather retire in thailand.

If the state pension had any real value then it would be more. I don't know how anyone can live on only c.£8k per year.

I thought they would have saved lot more with number of deaths topping 100k+
£1.5bn is peanuts compared to what our boy Sunak has spent , £400bn and counting

Every little helps...

I estimated the other day a saving to the Tories of about £1bn a year due to pensioners dying of covid, seems it's closer to £1.5bn savings. Tories will get a nice £0.9bn windfall in inheritance tax too.

Well done Tories

Tories are usually old people, so they basically killed their voter base for a quick profit.

Seems fair.

A disproportionate number seem to have been from ethnic minorities, so I would question your maths. There have been 20 million folks jabbed, and they're still doing the over 65's. I reckon the OAP bigot quotient is largely intact, and I look forward to making up the numbers in due course...

I thought of that cynical post when I saw the story last night.

And LM's post about it being spent already...

They're probably secretly kicking themselves that they didn't just let it rip a year ago.

[xoggoth]

Ah, they'll be killing us off with a phoney c* jab.
