What's the state pension nowadays?

[alreadypacked]

How much do people pay into their pension each year?

Nothing, I don't intend to retire.

Anyway I am sure someone would steal it before it was time to pay me.

Can't trust the b*&+ers, I should know I work in IB.

It will only be paid two years prior to death, backdated.

Better employ an agent to make sure it gets paid then....

The argument for the right to own and bear firearms is becoming irresistible by the day

"Bear firearms"? WTF is that? A Teddy Handgun?

It's going to become more and more like Escape From New York.

Call me The Duke!

With the drop in child benefits, increases in university education, low interest rates, high inflation, increasing population, more immigration, people living longer, dwindling resources, feral youths there is only one way it can go.

But the argument for all those extra Bobs, Victors and Olgas was they were needed to pay for the pension bill?

Just wondering if I'm ever going to see it.
Worse for the womenfolk though - they've seen the age go from 60 to 66 in a few short years...
Of course those on regular well-paid contracts can afford to make provision. But what will happen to those over 60 who've worked all their lives in meagre-salary permie jobs? I can't see Pret-a-Manger suddenly changing their recruitment processes..

You're more likely see the reincarnation of Elvis.
