The economy was growing because there are more workers producing stuff, a million more people over two years, but that does not mean each worker will be better off. Millions more people competing for not enough houses forcing up house prices and more people competing for jobs forcing down wages. But pensioners have had the triple lock, they are the lucky ones.

However been born with nowt, living their lives with nowt, and dying with nowt whilst having spent their lives moaning about having nowt, leads me to conclude that they deserved nowt. I’ll sit on any shelf folk wish to seat me on, I’m very content with my lot, which makes me ‘smug’ to one forumer, so be it, I suppose that they need something to occupy their mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
