Yet she still can smile She puts us to shame these days

*+Taffy Mackem* It's all relative and it's totally fucked up. Nothing has changed and if anything, those who lack any sense of empathy or care, have actually become less interested. We are such a weird animal.

Taffy Mackem Precisely!

She keeps herself from getting lonesome by doing chores. Probably worked herself to the bone to take care of her family. Every ounce of her being she gave to her family. Her family must be blind. Yeah, she's living but what an existence ...just waiting til her number is up. Gives me something to look forward to😞

The question is, where were her kids and grandkids? If she had children and grandchildren then they should have been visiting her at least twice a week. Bringing her cooked meals, making sure she was warm, putting some groceries in her pantry. Taking her out once a fortnight or once a month to have a meal or to have lunch at their place. White Anglo-Saxon people are too self-centred, not very family oriented and they abandon their elders. The pension is not the problem here, lack of love and support is the problem.

It´ll never change my dear friend!

That's devastating.God rest her soul.

They probably were in the same boat in those days. Mind you not much has changed.

The difference is that in the first instance the state is the provider whereas in the second she is/was the provider (for her family). I don't imagine she much liked the thought of her kids seeing her figuratively with her hands out when she'd once provided for them.

And given a pittance pension on top off it all like the old woman in the documentary

Huge respect to those Pensioners who were brave and never complained.

I know. So sad and unfair..

They were made of sterner stuff than today's generation

I LOVED your comment, Paul. You make an excellent point about these men reaching retirement just as society was beginning to recover and prosper, after the Second World War. I couldn't agree more! Only this morning I was reading about this generation of our world's people and their struggles just to stay alive. I believe they were known as 'The Lost Generation'. Initially I assumed this referred to the large number of people who died around that time, of the 'Spanish 'flu', and as a casualty of World War One., but as you quite rightly point out, most had it hard for the majority of their lives!

Some people cant afford to save because of their circumstances either social financial or personal reasons only she knows, I wonder does she have a story to tell that has left her in such destituion 🤔

Respect to you my dear.

@Janey Jester Rents are so much now that they still will not end up with a great deal to live off. Once you add up all the costs. If working people claim everything they are entitled to they would usually not be worse off.

What? How are you still alive?

@@brandontrehearn2 In the mid 1980s £9 per week was what single unemployed people got to live off in the U.K, in the form of Supplementary Benefit, which was originally designed as a supplement to other income. Of course it was not much to live off. We rationed the heating to two hours a day & then only used it when frosty & put extra jumpers & socks on & kept moving. We went to bed early if we felt cold & good friends sometimes got into bed together on a strictly platonic basis just to keep warm. We shared houses to make the rent & bills affordable. Something which landlords will often now not permit. We ate a lot of porridge, potatoes, carrots, baked beans, lentil soup & fried rice with onion & peanuts in & picked Stinging Nettles & Wild Garlic greens to eat. An egg or a tin of sardines was a treat but we made yummy flap jacks sometimes. My two friends & I who shared a house cannot now face fried rice as we did eat rather a lot of it, even though we sometimes put peas in instead of the peanuts. We bought clothes & bedding from jumble sales & charity shops, repaired everything many times & made our own bread. We walked around the town & bought each thing from the shop that had it cheapest. Sometimes we had to use newspaper as loo roll. It was a bit of a disaster if more than one lightbulb went pop in a week. Shoe repairs had to be saved up for. We never locked our doors as we had nothing worth nicking & at that time the crime rate was extremely low in rural areas. Gangs of criminals had not started coming down the moterways from big towns. After about 1990 we had to start locking every thing. We felt safe back then & it was nice to come home to find friends on our sofa drinking our tea. If you were young & well it could still be a good time as long as you had good friends to share your bread & soup with & the hope that the job market would improve sometime. We didn't have a T.V but we went for walks, made our own birthday & christmas cards, made music, invented jokes & games, sang, wrote poetry & stories, entertained each other, read a lot & talked about everything under the sun & did voluntary work. Thats how we survived. It was part of my education. Then £9 a week was an amount you could manage to live, or at least survive, off if you were very disciplined & budgeted strictly. I think that we were better off than those who now get Jobseekers Allowance if you take into account the rise in the cost of living. It does not help that things that were cheap alternatives then, such as lentils, have now become more popular & risen in price. No-wonder people now need food banks. There was high-unemployment so a lot of us survived on £9 a week & were greatful for it, though really upset that our career plans had come to nothing. It was depressing to walk into the Job Centre & find absolutely no jobs on offer, but that is the way it was some weeks. Nothing at all on the noticeboards. The lack of choice in the matter was demoralising. Thatcherites would yell,- "Get on your bike". Our reply was,-"Well give us a job, then, we will happily ride to it."

@Sarah Strong Same thing happened in Australia. Once well off people found out how healthy the food poor people had to live off was. The prices for them went through the roof

yet pensioners in the EU get more pension than the UK , basically subsidised by the UKs large contrbution

@@Natashahoneypot Yes they do. A 1 second Google search confirms this.

Not only old. Young as well. This country treat human beings like shit, especially the working class.

Fighting back at social issues Bullshit. This country is a soft touch, we hand over far too much to people who are unwilling to help themselves. We are paying child support to children in Poland who have never set foot in this country. We are housing entire extended families of Romanians who came here purely because of the generous welfare system. We reward women who have multiple children with multiple partners by handing them more in benefits than they could ever hope to earn through working. There is only so much money to go around, believe me I'd much rather it went to pensioners than the terminally lazy.

If you cannot grasp what I am getting at the you are an arse hole!

Aye, my mum went through the same thing. I now understand why she screeches about the heating bills. But as for the pollies, we had one who was actually worth his salt a while back. Forced his ministers first day on the job, when his government took office, to visit hospitals and nursing homes and schools, then report back. What happened to him, you may ask? Got booted out by the next tory government who made him look ridiculous in the media. That's always the way when someone genuine comes along who could really help. That's why things never change.

@@Growndweller trouble is. When you get a politician. That care. They see it as a weak link. Because caring means spending. And they really don't want that boat rocking. It may affect there expenses bill. So they're far someway to discredit. To get rid of the good apple. Most politicians start out with all the good intentions. But as soon as they reach the dizzy heights of having a seat in parliament and mixing with all that raval. The learn all the Littlewoods Pools of making more money undetected. Like putting a £30,000 gardening bill on the tax payers. Nearly £2000. For a duck House so they won't get wet. There are many ways a politician can dip into the taxpayers money. Meanwhile back on planet Earth people are going hungry. We are the 6th richest country in the world. Yet people are relying on. And children going to school hungry. food banks as if we was a third world country. Makes you wonder what the contra is head

She shouldn't need to ask them. Her children obviously turned a blind eye and didn't care.

My great aunt had her family around her. She had a stunning, modern home, ate very healthily, and had a part-time job staring at 5 a.m. When she died, she had £7000. Her husband died in the war and she never remarried. Can't think why this lady is so poor.

Bloody kids should just see and help her out.

@@manichairdo6346 this lady might have been on the verge of poverty her whole life, therefore unable to save thousands like your great aunt did. It's not her fault that she had a hard life; it takes a lot of resolve to 'carry on' like she did. She didn't grow up in a rich family, and it's clear that her remaining family didn't care about her- only her nephew's wife sent her things for Christmas (not even her own blood cared to send her some food). Hatred of poor, old people is quite pathetic but nonetheless prevalent in our materialistic society. Perhaps you need to re-assess why you can't think she could have been this poor, because it comes across as dismissive and victim blaming.

Children must have been blind

jimmy Russels i agree with everything you said I would like to endorse it .further by stating the pain, she was going through in revealing to that reporter from the tv company if i can get out of bed i then call someone for help if she took ill or summit.

Wealthy for whom? That is the question. Inequality has multiplied more in Britain than anywhere else.

That isd England for you. Pretend to be rich and the people follow them with the pretense instead of rebelling!!

jonathan downs this was 1971. We were still impoverished after the war only 25 years earlier. Things didn't really start to look up until the thatcher years in the eighties.

@@spencerwilton5831 The Thatcher years, it wasn't great then, I know, I was one of 4 million un-employed at the time & supplementary benefit was not a lot to live on but it is easier when you are younger, you do not need so much heat for example. I was able to collect firewood & pick nettles to eat. No matter what I did I couldn't get a job. Worked hard to get qualifications & then got rejected for jobs, told I was 'overqualified'. I tried to argue that having worked hard to get qualifications showed I was well motivated & willing to learn as well as to work hard but got no-where. In the end after applying for well over 300 jobs the constant rejections, possibly compounded by poor food, living conditions & lack of support made me very ill.

@@sarahstrong7174 It was Thatcher's regime that destroyed British Industry. A strong pound and high interest rates killed manufacturing. It was the Tory method of breaking the unions that had made a mockery of employment rights in the car industry. All other industries got tarred with the same brush. The wealth of the country got locked up in financial corporations in London that make huge profits for shareholders but don't make anyone else richer.

The old lady was getting £7 five shillings a week, my mum was earning £10 pw for for 42 hours and out of that paid tax and insurance, in 1970 my wages were £7 five shillings per week, [new job[ and an increase from £6/15 shillings per week

I couldn't see any old soul suffer. What civilised person can see this without being affected? These women are our mothers and should be given the best retirement.

@@macraghnaill3553 My mum was earning £17 per week and dad was on £27 per week back in 74. It was tough for a family of four with rent to pay but we got by , like this lady, by being careful on spending. As a result , today, I respect money and never forget the days of struggle. There's something positive coming out from austerity.

Well dont worry god has her now shes probably been dead for 40 years

How horrible. You made the right choice. By rejecting controversial crumbs, you opened yourselves up to majestic measures of treasure. And those vultures will never get to see one penny of it.

You and your family have hearts of gold, you cared and loved for the right reasons. I too have seen first hand what families are prepared to do. This happened to a dear friend of mine after she died relatives came from all over the place demanding property, cash etc. In almost 30 years I had never heard of these people.

She is dead dude.

Dr. Carr Again, why are her kids not helping her? Why doesn't she live with them? They should be ashamed!!!! Too many unanswered questions here.

Chicago Gyrl they may well have come up and helped her after seeing her on the tv. We have to remember that she was from an era where you make do & mend and you didn’t complain because there really were people worse off than you, especially during WW II through the early 1950’s while the whole of the UK were on rationing. It is also cultural “stiff upper lip” is a cliche of old school Britain for a reason she was brought up to be proud of who she was and what she did for herself so asking for help, especially if it is from your child could make her feel as though she would be losing her independence. Also, this was the era of power cuts and 3 day work weeks so even if she did ask for help from her kids they may not have been able to help her financially or accommodate her in their home. I agree with her that pensions are not livable amounts to sustain you, neither then nor now (I have relatives who are retired). A tin of soup which is priced a 5p (based on the shop windows the film is pre decimalization in the UK so my figures may be off) eats up, proportionately more of her income than it does a person who is working and is receiving £25 a week.

Chicago Gyrl she just told you where her grown up children are.

Agree with the sentiment but I don’t think the elderly are necessarily the hardest done by in today’s Britain. In fact, I think the youth get a pretty shit deal of it. I also suspect there’s a lot of regional aspects at play too.

SensaiMan agreed - if the idiots can build bombs they can build hospitals!

@@MrBren777 eu to thank for it all. The country is a skint mess thanks to eu

Fat Lad - that’s some fat thinking. The EU has invested in impoverished areas of the UK. The UK is in the horrendous state it’s currently in because of its own government’s continued mis-management. You need to stop reading the tabloid press and try to develop some critical thinking.

Invite them to dinner and for a cup of tea. They need company not just food and heat. Part of the problem is that the government only cares about or addresses physical needs while putting the poor in ugly tower blocks (like beauty is wasted on them, but the poor have soul too), isolated from familiar community (but the poor need human contact and a sense of belonging, too), with nothing to do but listen to media and scrape along physically surviving.

If it was the BBC they probably sat and drank her tea and ate her biscuits during the interview and then left her with nothing. A few days later she might have received a knock on her door from an obnoxious man asking if she has a television licence and wanting to give her a fine.

The lady sounded like a Liverpudlian [the accent has changed a lot over the decades] so guessing the area would of been Scotland Road area, demolished I believe to make way for the new Mersey Tunnel in the 70s

We still have a very long way to go, but for god's sake - take those rose tinted spectacles off. Pensioners in particular nowadays have less hardship and longer lives than they've ever had.

@Paul Walker so i suppose you would be an example of one of the cold and greedy people then? after all, when you think of the poor you instinctively think they are scroungers taking "your" taxes?!

But how about the glorious period of the post war consensus?
