Fed up with being promised the moon on a stick!

Although this didn't affect me I feel so dreadfully sorry for those who are suffering, particularly those who are widowed or without partners to support them. and finding themselves having to continue working. Not everyone is fit enough beyond 60 and Lord knows, the pension is little enough to manage on but at least it's a gateway to other benefits and better than the worry of further years struggling on. It's criminal I think.

That will be 2 spoil ballot papers then Phoenix. I don't believe a word any one of them is saying. And as for their promises 're pension age; this has been promised time and time again. Their promises/pledges/manifestos are worthless and don't impress me much.

That would be a waste of a trip to the polling station. Vote for Mr Buckethead or the Loony Party.

And "jam tomorrow".

Yes, I'm one of those women who's pension age got moved, but Corbyns promise of "compensation" just sounds like the usual vote seeking promise.

Mr Johnson is no better.

Sick of all of them, feel a spoiled ballot paper coming on..........
