    Let’s just abandon retirement and have everyone enjoying the beauty and fulfilment of work until they drop. Bah! Pensions are for the workshy layabouts.

    There’s no need to give £10 billion to people who don’t need it just because they say they weren’t told about something that they were in fact told about.

    Even if the government had loads of money available — which they don’t — further enriching the wealthiest age cohort is not something they should do. As things stand, they would need to cut, tax or borrow to fund this. No one should be taken seriously unless they can say which of those things the government should do.

      Women Against State Pension Inequality is a voluntary UK-based organisation founded in 2015 that campaigns against the way in which the state pension age for men and women were equalised. They call for the millions of women affected by the change to receive compensation.

        Women Against State Pension Inequality

        …campaigns against the way in which the state pension age for men and women were equalised

        The name and the description seem to be at odds with each other.

    I feel like I’m missing something here. The law was changed in 1995, to come in to effect from 2010 onwards.

    How is 15 years not enough notice?
