Do the Actuaries dealing with the BBC pensions have to take into account the deficit due from all those normal citizens who refuse to pay the TV tax?
There must be some anxiety in the coffers-managers’ offices at the loss of income, so the eye-watering pensions splurged out to any retiring beeboid, however leftie or incompetent, must be under some scrutiny these days!

I suppose, looking at the triple lock being scrapped, the pension being so low means whether the ‘rise’ is 2.5% or 8% the difference is only about a couple of £ per week.
One of the advantages of having just about the worst pension in the civilised world.
For those of us second class pensioners who have to get by on about £40 per week less than the newer pensioners the rise is pitiful.
Surely there must be some kind of legal discrimination case against the two types of pension.
Maybe the longer you pay in the less you get out. I paid in for 50 years but get around £40 less than the new ones who pay in for 35 years (or is it 30)
Anyway, the bottom line is that pensioners are falling further behind all the time.
The vast majority, as well as being on the second class pension are also not getting the full pension. I bet the ‘rise’ for some of them will be pennies.
The government should be grateful that covid has killed off about 120,000 pensioners thus saving £billions. (Unless they are telling us lies and this is not the mass death situation they are showing us)
Covid, the gift that keeps on giving.

Rishi to introduce Suttee to solve the Pension Problem once and for all …
“Be it so. This burning of widows (India/suttee)raping children is your Muslim custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive rape children we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”

National Grid is forced to fire up two coal-fired power stations as heatwave double-whammy of no wind plus surge of demand for aircon leaves UK’s electricity supplies unable to cope
What’s going to happen if the grid which already cannot generate sufficient green power gets 2.5 million new electric cars to charge with no new power stations being constructed ?
Don’t worry, the batteries of the 2.5 milliion new cars will be drained of what energy they have left and the ‘smart’ meters of the plebs will cut them off, so as to leave power for ‘essentials’ like ‘pride’ lighting for town halls!

I had to go back and re-listen to make sure

Chaos as police stop Hungary migrant train – Gavin Hewitt – BBC -Sep 2015 @53s
“… the a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby). One of her companions tried to help her (photo of man with women on track, riot police reaching towards them) Somehow there became a push and a shove with the police. She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”
-Gavin Hewitt – Sep 2015
Watch the video and the male refugee (companion trying to help?) drags the women and baby to the floor, by force.
Even the Mirror (03Sept2015) says “… this refugee couple cradle their tiny baby, after throwing themselves (NO! Male refugee drags women and baby onto train tracks) on train tracks as police try to take them to migrant camps in Hungary”
Gets better. Two days (05Sept2015) later the Mirror then report it as
“Refugee who dragged pregnant wife and baby son onto train track did it because ‘death would be better’”
1. BBC Version uses words and pictures to hide the video version
2. The Mirror shows the video but uses words to tell a different version
Can I suggest a little story – “Male refugee forces pregnant women refugee holding child down onto a train track, police drag him away for her safety? Riot police then lift women with child off track with tender arms.”
Why is there such a moan about younger people with their potential tax increases having to fork out for the care of older people ? Jesus, it was ever thus. The younger generation will get old themselves and will need to access the care service one day – regardless of whether they inherit a property from ‘us oldies’ or not.
Did I moan and groan when I was an earning 20 year old something that I was paying for my Mum and Dad’s health treatment ? NO, it never bloody occurred to me. Once again the msm love to question irrelevancies.
But because the MSM do question it the younger generation think that they are being hard done by and justified in feeling resentful. The MSM across the West have much to answer for in the fragmentation of our society and its forthcoming collapse.
I would also add that few ‘young’ people even bother to contribute into a pension pot for later life. So they’ll expect the State pension to cater for their needs then wont they.
I was invited at age 24 (1972) to join the company pension scheme – and yes I turned my nose up as I was only earning about £18 per week, and it was a minimum of £5 per month contribution – increasing with every pay rise. I did in the end, and I soon got used to being a bit light in my monthly wage packet.
Best thing I ever did. When I retired at 58 there was this lump sum plus a good amount of pension each month. If I could do it on £18 a week, then why cant this generation on a far larger salary put a few quid away each month ?
Nut nuts decision to finally – finally – do something about adult social care has to be welcomed . Anyone who thinks that taxes are not going up – one way or another – who ever is in power – must be living in a dream .
The nut nut manifesto never made sense , how could taxes not be put up whilst things like the NHS and social care would be improved ?
I’ve gone through adult social – poor care worker quality – 15 minute visits ( as a carer ) and the prospect of paying out -£900 a week for a dementia care home …. But I’m no longer a ‘player ‘….
Me ? I’d cut a couple of billion out of the overseas give away budget and put that into adult care – I’d starve illegal immigrants and make life so bad they wouldn’t want to come here …. Instead we live in a weak coke /pepsi political system . ..with foul tasting irn brew as a healthy option …
I wonder what the next tax to increase is going to be ? My money is on VAT ….

No one gives a shit that Boris Johnson has broken a manifesto pledge on tax.
People think that funding social care is important, and they'll accept an unfair way to pay for it *unless* someone makes the case for a better alternative.
If you step back a bit – the Labour Party has no alternative plan to fund social care ? How can that be ? Complete lack of ability on their part .
They need to look like a Party ready to step in and be a government – but they are nowhere near under Starmer .
Don’t get me wrong on this – I’m of the Right – very Right – and would never want a Labour socialist government – but a real opposition would be useful …..
…. Meanwhile … the year is 2040 … the SNP calls for its 12 th referendum on independence ….
My colleague @Gregstweet was the reporter on many pieces on #PoliticsLive We wanted content that worked on TV and online & the team reached millions on Facebook, the very demographics that BBC wants. He’s just left the BBC and journalism . Good luck Greg – you did great work.
It seems funny to me that the Blackhearted Broadcasting Corporation seems to forget that Roy Chubby Brown’s real name was broadcast weekly on their wavelength. I refer of course to The League of Gentlemen, 2 shirtlifters much loved by the aforementioned Corporation.
In the same way the BBC never reported honestly on the huge numbers that turned out for Trump’s mega rallies during the election, so they’ll never report on this latest trend in the US: large crowds chanting “F**k Joe Biden” at College Football games.
The phenomenon is all the more significant as the fans tend to be young and educated, a demographic that’s normally brainwashed by the lefty educational system into becoming Democrat supporters.
Interesting prediction that the people running the false president will cause another lock down to reduce the Populus finally realising they have a duff one in the White House ….
… however – cum 9/11 on Saturday Biden will be fully rehearsed to read from the autocue without showing signs of his failing brain …

I was invited at age 24 (1972) to join the company pension scheme – and yes I turned my nose up as I was only earning about £18 per week, and it was a minimum of £5 per month contribution – increasing with every pay rise. I did in the end, and I soon got used to being a bit light in my monthly wage packet.
Best thing I ever did. When I retired at 58 there was this lump sum plus a good amount of pension each month. If I could do it on £18 a week, then why cant this generation on a far larger salary put a few quid away each month ?

Not directly BBC and a bit of a rant
Nut nuts decision to finally – finally – do something about adult social care has to be welcomed . Anyone who thinks that taxes are not going up – one way or another – who ever is in power – must be living in a dream .
The nut nut manifesto never made sense , how could taxes not be put up whilst things like the NHS and social care would be improved ?
I’ve gone through adult social – poor care worker quality – 15 minute visits ( as a carer ) and the prospect of paying out -£900 a week for a dementia care home …. But I’m no longer a ‘player ‘….
Me ? I’d cut a couple of billion out of the overseas give away budget and put that into adult care – I’d starve illegal immigrants and make life so bad they wouldn’t want to come here …. Instead we live in a weak coke /pepsi political system . ..with foul tasting irn brew as a healthy option …
I wonder what the next tax to increase is going to be ? My money is on VAT ….

I would hazard a guess that many will end up with useless degrees such as Meeja, Theologee & Homanities etc etc who will finally end up serving in cafes, supermarkets and shops. Hence the shortage of skilled tradesmen, craftsmen engineers and lorry drivers .

If you step back a bit – the Labour Party has no alternative plan to fund social care ? How can that be ? Complete lack of ability on their part .
They need to look like a Party ready to step in and be a government – but they are nowhere near under Starmer .
Don’t get me wrong on this – I’m of the Right – very Right – and would never want a Labour socialist government – but a real opposition would be useful …..
…. Meanwhile … the year is 2040 … the SNP calls for its 12 th referendum on independence ….

It seems funny to me that the Blackhearted Broadcasting Corporation seems to forget that Roy Chubby Brown’s real name was broadcast weekly on their wavelength. I refer of course to The League of Gentlemen, 2 shirtlifters much loved by the aforementioned Corporation.

In the same way the BBC never reported honestly on the huge numbers that turned out for Trump’s mega rallies during the election, so they’ll never report on this latest trend in the US: large crowds chanting “F**k Joe Biden” at College Football games.
The phenomenon is all the more significant as the fans tend to be young and educated, a demographic that’s normally brainwashed by the lefty educational system into becoming Democrat supporters.

Interesting prediction that the people running the false president will cause another lock down to reduce the Populus finally realising they have a duff one in the White House ….
… however – cum 9/11 on Saturday Biden will be fully rehearsed to read from the autocue without showing signs of his failing brain …
…. Or maybe he will soil himself on live national TV ….
