Apply index to a baseline of pre Covid data and disregard the artificial drop that has occurred during Covid. Not the first time for a government to ignore an inconvenient bit of info, is it ? I'm kind of perplexed by the creation of a false division/schism over pensions. Some "authoritative" twit says "ah but, pensions will have grown to some ridiculous figure by 2050" Well twit, pensioners in 2050 will not be the same as those today, very few anyway. Pensioners in 2050 will be those in the 30-40 band or slightly over today, the very demographic that the stirrers are targeting with their agitation. Its high time that state pensions started to catch up and be really valuable especially as private pension providers have proved to be such a shower of underperformers since the rush to privatising began in the late 80's in all aspects other than rewarding themselves. In other aspects of our lives that would be described as scamming or even downright fraud. dafishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216920242825385976noreply@blogger.com
