It was me, I see no reason why pensions should be treated different to working age people who cannot work, especially when it involves getting many multiples of inflation at a time, when the government is facing chaos. In all honestly it boggles my mind, with everything going on why someone has in their mind "I want more money" we have far bigger problems than money at the moment. We could be having several million more people added to the DWP list in the next year or so, think about that. The same people asking for these pension increases may be the one's constantly telling people the reason they wont vote labour because the books have to be balanced, does that financial rule get discarded when it comes to the pension bill?
Triple-lock on pensions will stay. Pensions will increase when earnings have decreased

Detroit was the go to place for property bargains, but now emerging markets such as Darfur are proving attractive to the savvy home buyer.
Because it will cost everybody else £1500 per year each for next year, then £1537.50 then £1574.92 etc.
And we have already spent so much on Covid, and Brexit and because of Covid treasury income will be well down but you think its a good idea to put such a massive tax increase on those people working?
Or perhaps you were thinking of cutting some services. Maybe make rubbish collection once a month.

Woops, looks like Oxford, Chichester, Winchester and Truro are all more unaffordable than Greater London. And Bath and Cambridge are tied… Oh and I'm sure (
EDIT: Oh sorry I see you found a £45k flat in Swansea. I stand corrected. Absolute lols from this end of the stadium, Graham
Sad to see Bristol so low on the list. A paltry ratio of 9.1 explains why everyone owns at least two houses each here.

I quoted Swansea as the guy who questioned me for saying property was not affordable for folk to get on the housing ladder lived in Swansea , the working example was for a couple of minim wage .I’m also sure just as you quoted unaffordable places to live I could quote as many affordable places to live and probably on said minimum wage as well. Admittedly i should have said the South East .
My real point was I see to many self entitled youngsters blaming the generation before them - but it seems that’s par for the course on here at the moment .
FYI - My house is in 9.3 , I have 2 X BTL in 10.3 not sure about my 2 others and we are thinking of moving to 11.1 or St Mawes .
Where does this phrase self entitled youngsters come from and what justifies it?
Because if we look at the facts, such as affordability of housing, access to social housing, access to social security, university fees, cost of living, they all not good compared to the 1960s. My dad is an honest person, he is a baby boomer, and he says he dont know how he would have coped in todays world.
A 70 year old moaning about people objecting to a inflation busting pension rise may also fail to realise someone who is 30 today will be expected to work full time when they 70 and be getting "no" pension, not £70 but £0.

Well that explains everything. Jog on, I've no time for people who are making money out of this crisis
And you have the gall to call people entitled

Yeah and on top of all that rental income he still wants a 18% state pension increase!

Thought that might get your goat , what’s even worse is I’m about to buy 2 more as well .
And how did I get to having a small property portfolio , well low and behold I bought that a S hole of a 2 bed terraced house in East Tilbury that you all describe and grafted for the next 30 years . Oh and I didn’t moan about the baby boomers before me that had gold plated final salary pensions and even cheaper houses than I bought .
Surprisingly enough I just got on with it - bye .
What year was this? You're still part of the problem. Entitled.
No you had more opportunities and wealth than the generation before you and likewise they did as well. We are now at the first generation where they are going to be poorer than their parents.
Selfish smug entitled people like you are why the young get so ******* off and I can understand why,
Generation before you had to fight a world war, and the one before them one as well. Dont try to claim they had it easier than you, not to mention the social housing mass build started after WW2.

Nothing wrong with investment so long as they are risking private capital, that is basically how its supposed to work. Interest rates being so low will blow up one day but not sure Im blaming anyone in particular for that.
Pensions are paid for over the course of decades is probably a large part of why its different. They do soft default on pension payouts anyhow as the entitlement age is raised, some will barely get to pension age before passing on

My rubbish collection is already once every 3 weeks they may as well make it once a month.
I pay like £300 a month in council tax too for the privilege.

It's funny how everyone I know literally owns their own house.
I only know of 1 guy at work who is renting everyone else owns their own home.
Also the problem seems to be restricted to England and the south of England mainly.
Scotland and Wales look fine on there.
Guess where I am?
Seems like you’re in your own bubble and don’t know what life is like for young people in the country then.
Was with a nurse for many years thanks, I know what they can make, particularly when they're moonlighting through private agencies latched to the taxpayer teat.
I didn't mention nurses though, did I?
He's too busy bragging on forums about all the rubbish he buys with daddy's money.
