Only 1 death in all UK settings though 764 people in hospital with 60 in ventilator beds. That seems to be lower Hopefully we'll have no one in icu quite soon. A week of no covid anything, is a very good day for a right good bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too got feck all, and a tax rise should be used for job creation for those affected by all of this, NOT as an electoral bribe for the pensioners AGAIN.

You would think that being on the same side of the argument as those people would make you question if you were correct or not. It's so incredibly annoying. Any time you bring up facts that disapprove their manic ramblings, it's just the NWO controlled media/universitys/scientists etc. Apparently all of these sources are incorrect but some crackpot forensic psychologist is now a world leader in virology.

Mask to be worn at all time except when exercising, Equipment to be cleaned prior to use with loads of equipment. A few machines etc to remove to aid social distancing, Whilst, a couple of staff have been given the mask nazi’s role, who weren’t shy in enforcing the rules. Someone walked from cables to get a drink from their water bottle A distance of less than 2m. Resulted in some staff member shouting mask repeatedly at the person. It was a bit quieter than previousMy. Less older people, it’s was more your meat heads and gym bunnies today. All in all good to be back and it was certainly nice to lift for real.

doctor jambo Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 50 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: It cause old people vote in much greater numbers than other demographics. Irrespective of the party. Its political suicide to break the triple lock as you will have pissed off a huge amount of folk. What pensioners would be likely to vote for a party who broke the triple lock? I personally think it needs broke but I do think it will be the thin edge of the wedge in relation to state pensions. State pensions are very likely to go or at the very least become means tested in medium term. Their has been massive effort by the government to move pension responsibility from state to individual. Requirement to take personal pension, increase state pension age, removal of age restrictions for working, incentives. It’s something longer term the country will struggle to afford. I’m in my mid 40’s I don’t ever expect to receive a state pension. Or TV license, or free travel, or winter fuel allowance, or in fact being allowed to retire at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just won’t be state funded🤷🏻♂️ In the main we’re an asset to the state when working and a liability when not. On the bright side you’ll be able to look on as future generations get even more taken away from them🙈 So will national insurance contributions be refunded for those contributing towards their retirement for a number of decades? The idea that state pensions will be abolished or the triple lock broken would mean electoral suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me the ones that believe everything the likes of Sturgeon tells them are the ones not capable of reasoned thought. Now just because you are questioning the politicians and MSM does not make you a conspiracy theorist. But the MSM will use lines such as conspiracy theorists to try and marginalize people who are only standing up for their basic freedoms. It's a cheap and obvious card to play and of course the people who take everything Sky News tell you as gospel lap it up as it reassures them.

However, the people don't live forever, especially if they get put in care homes. As for the triple lock, I'm not sure what your argument is. If people have contributed the required amount to qualify for a state pension they have earned the right to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do you assume pensioners don't contribute? Can I get a rebate on the tax I have paid since retiring? Having said that it is ridiculous that I get free bus and train travel in London with my Freedom Pass and get a winter fuel allowance.
