| 9. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Fri 22nd Mar 2024. 08:57 Congratulations BPP, we celebrated our Golden Wedding last year. My wife has lost near £50K having worked since 15yrs old, they say they cannot afford it, they spent the money they saved. Look at the gold plated MP`s pension scheme and the money being paid to ex PM`s, some who only lasted days along with their appointed ministers? Reply |

| 12. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 22nd Mar 2024. 14:02 Tbh the UK pension is very poor and it`s apparent there`s a desire to push the burden onto employers. That doesn`t help if someone is on a low income or regularly unemployed. Reply |
| 13. Author: Tenruh Date: Fri 22nd Mar 2024. 14:10 jake89, Fri 22 Mar 14:02 Believe it`s the third poorest in Europe, still you cannot constantly be at war and pay high pensions. I think Holland pays the highest rate at around 103% of their final salary. Reply |
| 14. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Fri 22nd Mar 2024. 21:11 I think there are at least 5 separate, albeit related, issues here (leaving aside the remarkably durability of dotnetters’ marriages) 1 is the historical disparity between rates of pay awarded to women and men for doing the same job. 2 is the provision of state pensions for people who have chosen to act as unpaid carers or home-makers for much of their working life. 3 is the equalisation of pension ages between men and women to comply with sex equality legislation 4 is the increase in State Pension Ages to reflect massive improvements to life expectancy 5 is the failure to communicate the changes to 3 and 4 adequately. I believe this report only deals with number 5. Reply |
| 15. Author: Parboiled Date: Sun 24th Mar 2024. 12:23 The greatest injustice was men getting their pension five years later than women, despite living on average five years less. As for the WASPI’s saying they were stung..as a mere male I knew all about these changes so why not them? Reply |
| 16. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Mon 25th Mar 2024. 12:28 Funnily enough, many of these decisions regarding pension policy would have been made by male-dominated governments yet you still get the dinosaur Tory males like Parboiled that want to play the victim. You have to smile! 😂 How were women ever supposed to get to the same level of pension contributions as men when they have been systematically excluded from education and lifetime work until only a few decades ago? And even now it`s not totally equal. That whole ideology all eminates from a wee thing called Christianity and Canon Law, which we are finally on the verge of irradicating in Scotland. Hoping that a British Government or a Tory does the morally right thing is always wishful thinking, so my bet is we`ll continue to see the usual initiation of institutional protectionism from DWP and all UK government bodies.

| 17. Author: Parboiled Date: Tue 26th Mar 2024. 15:01 HJ you have exuded yourself..there were plenty of lassies in my class in the fifties decade and the staff in my sixties decade office were mostly female ….save your mince for Swedish meatballs. Talking about mince, this subject cropped up in Holyrood today, a matter they have no influence over whatsoever Post Edited (Tue 26 Mar 15:11) Reply |
| 18. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 26th Mar 2024. 17:26 What you`re missing Parboiled is that traditionally women entered into low paid jobs like receptionist, typist, waitress etc before giving up work for a good few years to have kids then go back part-time or not at all. That`s still often the case today but things are a lot more even, thus the move to have a consistent retirement age. Reply |
| 19. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Tue 26th Mar 2024. 18:53 Women on lower pay doing the same job as males. Not allowed to join pension schemes because they would probably leave to have family. Not considered for promotion because of the same reason. Not allowed to sign credit agreements, had to be the male in the house. Males having their stamp paid to 65yrs of age if retired/unemployed at 60yrs of age. This was Thatchers way of fiddling unemployment figures! Working from 15yrs of age as the majority of females never entered university. Reply |
| 20. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Wed 27th Mar 2024. 09:38 Parboiled, Tue 26 Mar 15:01 It was brought up because Sarwar and Baillie were shown backing the WASPI women in various photoshoots. Since the PHSO decision they have been remarkably quiet, in fact silent, some may think that Labour head office had instructed them to do so? I also see they voted with the Tories for the reintroduction of tuition fees! Reply |
