Has Theresa May got the right financial balance for pensioners?Please bear in mind that what you have paid into the system was not invested for the future. What you paid in got paid out straight away to pensioners etc. and it's still the same. It seems to have come as a stunning surprise to Government that the current pensioner population ( Baby Boomers in reasonable good health )were coming. I can see the look on the faces of the civil service mandarins as they shout " Oooh , where did that lot come from?" when we all started getting our pensions. As for your remarks about the honesty of MPs and Bankers? The only way they are going to get sorted is if we oil the wheels of the tumbrils and start rolling them to The City via The Houses of Parliament.ViewDate:

Should the Winter Fuel Allowance be means tested?Nobody I know in my age group 70+ actually need this payment and are willing to give it up PROVIDING the money saved goes to something useful. ( Not gay one legged window cleaners against foxhunting)We are all working class, ordinary people and usually discuss this in our working men's club and to a person we're all Labour supporters. What does that say about us ?ViewDate:

Do you want another EU Referendum?Why is that a problem ? If youngsters can't be bothered to get off their backsides and vote then they are foolish.Do you think there was a secret arrangement involving millions of wrinklies to vote leave or perhaps they looked at the ramifications of staying and thought Oooh I think we'd be better off out of this nebulous organisation and get our own MPs to do what they are paid to do and run this Country. I think the latter. PS. I'm not racist , I fully understand that we need immigration.ViewDate:

Do you want another EU Referendum?Sorry Glynis. I spent months weighing up the pros and cons of my decision. In the end I voted to leave. That decision has resulted in me being called A Dolt -Stupid- Totally Selfish -and much worse by so called friends.I resent these insults but they have filled me with pity for the people who issued them and resolve never to give in to them. So carry on insulting the people who voted to leave, unfortunately they are the real democrats,ViewDate:

Do you want another EU Referendum?My vote was to leave with the implicit understanding that the negotiations will be done by the Government of the day; making the best deal they can for the people of this Country. I'm no great negotiator but if Mr Farron thinks that going in to get a deal with all our cards on the table and then the deal be subject to ratification by the public is good practice, then he's living in cloud cuckoo land. We'd be eaten alive by the other side
