As a pensioner who worked all my life and paid more than my share of taxes ( council , income , VAT , tobacco a alcohol etc ) I find this idea repulsive and disgraceful.

Actually you haven't, Explain to me how when you first started work compared to when you finished working the country has more debt and liabilities( like payment of your pension). While my generation you weren't alive to even have any say on the governments you created the problem have to pay the costs.

The lower limit threshold for tax is £12750 so you don't pay tax if your pension is below £241.73 per week.The full state pension is £221.20 per week and the basic state pension is £169.50 per week, all below the threshold for paying tax

They mean they live in a house which is worth a million or thereabouts. These scum have created the situation where house prices have shot through the roof and now they want pensioners living in their own homes to re-mortgage or sell. The last thing they want is for the capital gain in those homes to be passed on to the children of those pensioners. Only the super rich are allowed to pass on assets.

Some pensioners properties might be worth almost a million? Mine is worth almost £ 180,000 but the facts are we still live in our homes we still pay our tax if we are £ 1,000 over and we still pay our council tax plus an extra £40 and rising to have our grass cutting bins emptied because we own our own home. Stop pointing the finger at and blaming Pensioners who have paid into the system from age 15 to age 66. Substance Abusers are the biggest drain on our taxes and this was a choice that they made.Many of them haven’t worked a day in their lives and never will. We can’t help getting old we sincerely believed them when we were told that our National Insurance stamp would pay for our Pension which should have been paid at age 60. Never would it come into our mind to grudge our parents their Pension we were happy for them, after all they sacrificed a lot to bring us up.

Rationing ended in 1954, while they didn't fight in the war there are a huge number of oaps who were children during it or grew up in austerity in the years following it. The dole was originally a safety net for those transitioning between jobs at a time when the 'Anglo-Saxon work ethic' was a thing, now there is little to no social stigma for not working and entire communities don't.

All benefits should be taxed the same as the working man/woman/pensioner. Also if under 60 you should pay for their prescriptions out of their benefits. The working person pays income tax and national insurance, pays for prescriptions, etc. Those on benefits get the same or more than the working person and pay nothing and get deducted nothing, and get benefits on top, mobility car with no insurance, no ved, no servicing costs and the option of a new car every 3 years. Benefits should be equal to the average wage, but taxed the same. Why should workers and pensioners have to pay tax to fund benefits and unemployment benefits when they should be taxed the same and contribute like everybody else.

I worked from the age of 15 till I was 68.. never got a penny in benefits..Had second hand furniture and washing machine. Worked and saved to buy our own home..Nobody gave us anything and now you want to tax our pension..Tax people that can work but don't..if pension is a benefit tax them that get benefits! Totally unfair. Seems you more sensible you are throughout your working life you more you are punished! Obscene!

maybe people should pay on average should pay the same amount of tax, that ends up being spent on an average person, sounds crazy. Fact is a lot of old people never paid anywhere near enough tax to cover the pensions they eventually went to receive, which then goes into government debt and thus the young people have to pay.

Again you read and believe the propaganda pushed out by the right wing press. At your age surely you can see that the whole immigrant problem is being used as a smokescreen for the rich donors to the political parties to get away with schemes to avoid paying taxes whilst the poorest in society are struggling to pay their bills? It's been the same for more than fifty years, pulling out the same old rhetoric , they convince us that 'the problems with this country are the foreigners taking all out money, blame them not us', Look at the massive profits the energy companies are making, look at the amount of money the water companies have skimmed off the profits they make from our excessive bills, check out the statistics of how the balance of money in this country has gone from the poorest in society to the richest in society. Why do you think we now have food banks and working people having to rely on benefits to pay their bills? Check out the statistics of the amount of so called legal immigrants going up to provide the rich company owners with cheap labour since we left the EU. I know because I work all over the country training them and I'm still working at seventy just to pay my bills.

@julesw4037
@julesw4037 6 месяцев назад
Yes, I remember back in the 80's when houses were given away in jamboree bags and building societies paid us to take out a mortgage - just kidding. I couldn't get a mortgage in the 80's because I was young, had no savings and had started a new job. By the time I had saved enough for a deposit as a condition for a mortgage, the house prices had just about doubled. The CONservatives dragged the country through various recessions in the 80's and 90's, when at one time, the interest rates went up to 15%. In the early 90's, it was weekly news about how many people were having their houses repossessed. Eventually fixed rate mortgages were being offered, and at 15 years in, I had a celebration at getting a fixed rate at 5%. Regarding the pension, the UK is 15th in ranking for state pensions in Europe. The triple lock was a mechanism to try and bring the pension up to something worth having, after decades of underfunding it. We still have 25% of pensioners in poverty and material deprivation. I think this brown man is a sophist. Perhaps if the 20 / 30 somethings voted for a political party, that wasn't ideologically driven to making maximum profit by suppressing wages and artificially increasing house prices by reduction in social housing, and relying on private developers, who's only interest is to their share-holders and CEO salaries, to build houses. My local MP is Jeremy Hunt. Hunt bought 7 luxury flats in Southampton from a developer that was a CONservative donor. This developer gave him a discount on the flats for buying 7. Because he bought them to rent out, the taxman gave him a reduction on his stamp duty costs. When I used to work in London, foreign investors bought up flats in new developments with no intention of living there, waiting on an increase in prices. The moderately paid locals, were then forced to move further out, until investors had bought those properties too. No-one on average salaries can afford to buy property in London anymore. The government, in the last 14 years, could have done something about this, by not allowing foreign property investors the right to buy property in the UK. It seems likely that, since 25% of CONservative MPs have a property portfolio, they rather like the house prices increasing all the time. Still, the youngsters could do something about it, but apparently they don't think it's worth voting.

Given how rich the UK is and how much it gives away each year in foreign aid, it is reprehensible that anyone born and bred there is struggling during their retirement years. You can tell the nature of a country by how they treat their elderly. It's fairly clear that many in power want the older generation to just die. You never hear their opinions on anything but occasionally they get trotted out in some feelgood story like Captain Moore walking his garden during covid. Otherwise they're just not part of public life.

Because l was born before april 1951 l was informed my pension would be the basic at 140 pound a week so l carried on working for 6 more years after retirement to increase my state pension in a hard and dangerous job to be self sufficient in my old age. I also have a small occupational pension from working for 30 years in the merchant navy . When l finally retired aged 73 last year it seemed l had just enough for me and my partner, who needs me as an unpaid carer, to scrape by on only to find out that this year l am having nearly half of my hard earned M.N. pension deducted in tax: money l had already paid tax on years ago. Due to the sporadic nature of my earlier occupation l never did buy a house, have never been to university and have just been one of those hard working men the politicians keep going on about. The reward for trying to not be a burden to anyone in this country seems to be a kick in the financial head!! Thanks a lot!!!
