Of course it’s fair that the pension age was equalised, quizqueen. Nobody would dispute that. What is unfair is the way it was implemented with women close to retirement age losing 6 or 7 years. Other countries have managed a fair and gradual change to the pension age with every woman losing around 18 months. No other country has hit a relatively small group of women in this way.
It has caused real hardship to many, some of whom I have met on the WASPI demos, and it’s an insult to have someone in Widdicombe’s privileged position sneering at them.
