Just try U.K. has worst state pension in Europe it should show as it works for me

And yet the link I provided works for me and that comes from a respected fact checking site.

 

But, just did what you suggested and the first hit on google was this:

 

https://www.ii.co.uk/analysis-commentary/uk-state-pension-really-worst-europe-ii525935

 

Yet another interesting read on why it can't really be compared fairly!

 

And just to add....

We also have less public holidays, longer hours, worse working conditions, and later state retirement age than a lot of our European neighbours.

Take no notice of the insults. I don't. 

Why people can't be civil is beyond me.

I’ve spent my life settling matters on a face to face basis, I can’t deal with the internet heroes, they are just cowards hiding behind a screen, I reckon that I’ll be very selective with my posts from now on, thanks for the advice.

I have considered packing SF in altogether.

Sometimes you can have an interesting debate and sensible difference of views/opinions.

There are posters whose views I value.

Me too @harvey19, on both your points, but there are too many with closed/dogmatic minds.

I agree, just ignore them.

Most people have closed minds, so we are mostly wasting our time on here.

I don't think some of them understand how to attack the message rather than the messenger. 

 

"Your an idiot." (attacking the messenger)

"What you're saying is idiotic." ( attacking the message

"I think what you're saying is idiotic." (even better)

 

(Sorry, it's the teacher in me...

But I still haven't found a nice way to talk about the Tories...) 😊
