I can't condone Westminster pay rises at this time and the whole MP expense scandal has tainted politics as a whole, which is why the local candidates out canvassing are getting a bit of a chewed ear from some residents. It seems that some people think I'm down the pub every Friday night with Gordon Brown.
However, we're faced with the inevitable truth that people are generally living longer and pensions have become a bit of a problem, again with more coming out than going in. A National Insurance rise seems a prudent option for the future, particularly as those who are being 'hit' by it will see the benefits in their retirement.

Ken, the original post clearly refers to a Military Pension, not the State Pension.
I am still waiting to hear what I have
not got on my State Pension
