This is a rant. I’m not trying to start yet another thread particularly, but just to off load really. I’m so sick and tired of hearing how the government are going to help and do everything they can ‘for working people’. Therefore they imply the rest of us can just sod off as far as they’re concerned. My husband and I (like millions of others) worked full time for over 75 years between us. When I stopped work to look after our children my husband paid my full NI stamps as we called it then, so I would receive the full pension. Like all other PAYE workers, we paid all the requisite taxes and NI whilst doing what we could as regards saving and paying into our pensions to prepare for old age. I’m heartily sick of this government’s attitude that it’s only ‘the working people’ who matter. I’m sure this will rub people up the wrong way but they couldn’t make it more obvious they don’t give a toss about anybody not paying high taxes. Rant over. Thank you for reading.
