Isn’t it time for us to stand up?

I have sympathy for anyone who feels they are being ignored or mistreated - whether they be old or young.

But I have to agree with Greenfinch that life is much harder for younger people these days. Housing is a major expense and the cost of housing has become almost unsustainable for many people. Also, childcare costs are ridiculously expensive.

Of course, the state pension is pretty awful but there are many older people who are doing very well for themselves, yet they still moan.

I nearly died of laughing reading this thread.

Where have you women all been for the past month?

At least twice a week someone has moaned about the unfair way pensioners in the UK are being treated - rising prices, but no rise in pensions, fuel allowance being cut comes to mind.

But none of you have seen these threads, except presumably Pattieb, who won't dare come back now you have all torn her to shreds.

State Pension payments benefit from the triple lock; better inflation protection than some other benefits. The Fuel allowance has been restored to any pensioners with an income below £35 K; an advantage over working people earning less than £35 K.

I don't feel I'm being treated unfairly.
