msi Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 9 minutes ago, Insane said: To be honest your not worth debating with msi, however as we already are £7 billion taken for now 23 years plus inflation and compounded growth = no final salary pension schemes in the private sector but the know all on the internet who just says no and calls that amount of money a straw man argument knows better because he votes Labour. Repeat after me - correlation does not imply causation. If you can show proof that Final Salary pension schemes closed as a direct result of this and not other factors then I will be the first to acknowledge your point. That is how reasoned discourse works. You attempted a p*** poor straw man by changing the argument to disprove that Brown didn't make a Tax Raid Please try to keep up or go back to colouring with crayons as talking to adults will tire you.

pig Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 11 hours ago, Riedquat said: How do you figure that one out? Labour sat on the fence, so votes for them can't be considered Remain any more than they can be considered Leave. The only votes I'd argue stand a good chance of being Remain ones are LibDem ones (and possibly a fair number of SNP ones but there's also a large number of Scottish independence ones there and no certainty about the degree of overlap, even though it's probably high). The point is that election can't be viewed as a second referendum. As it happens, imho its plausible or even likely the Remain party 'win' percentage reflects what might have happened with an actual referendum but for the reasons you've pointed out, plus conservatives who didn't fall for this Brexit nonsense, it can't be relied on to act as a proxy.

No your the P*** Poor straw man argument Brown did make the Tax Raid go and look it up. But rather than do that you now default to an insult as I said earlier not worth debating with are you.

Pop321 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Keep voting Tories please....and I will keep winning financially with a guilty feeling but knowing it what people want Anyone met these politicians and know their real backgrounds and experience of real world life? Private schools, golden spoons, trust funds.....it’s all a bit sad. Some of my old family are close to this society, some of their circle are perfect ladies and gentleman with a sense of duty, a sense of obligation to staff and people they look after...they don’t feel ‘better’ than anyone but rather they feel they have a role to play in the same way a qualified electrician is no better than a qualified joiner. The others in their circle who are greedy entitled ones are politicians or bankers. If you find yourself overly criticising one side over the other...then look again. I am definitely a leftie (albeit more a non woke liberal leftie) and would have loved to see Corbyn win, but was relieved when he didn’t win.....and certainly wasn’t surprised. Ps can decisions by Brown not be reversed? Pps can decisions by Thatcher not be reversed? That’s all history....designed to distract and diffuse the current position. Vote Blue, keep us hardworking investors, business and property owners in the life which we have become accustomed....and stop moaning about house prices, that really shouldn’t concern the riff raff. They should feel lucky just to have food in their bellies. Would new new Labour do better...possibly not but it’s about ensuring a group of about 50 people are disrupted for the odd term frim running the country for themselves and their mates. Well, at least trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you will have to copy and past as the link won't activate Final salary pensions were always doomed regardless. That's why even before Brown's changes the schemes were being closed off to new entrants, pulling the rung up to protect the previous generation, as usual. I don't think you're going to find much support from the younger generation for your position when we never had a chance at this stuff anyway. Anyway, not to worry, you benefited from cheap housing so you've still done well by being born at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamnumerate Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 20 hours ago, nickb1 said: Well, the AST started under Thatcher and BTL mortgages also started under the Cons IIRC, both key planks of the subsequent price increases and current mess. Probably other aspects of financial deregulation also fed in, kicked off by the Cons. Which is not to say that Blair Brown are absolved btw. True although Osborne brought in S24. To be honest housing is a mess that all parties are responsible - even the Lib Dems. Although I blame most of the voters seem happy with it.

Well here is the Rub every generation has lost out . If we still had final salary pensions the younger generation would get them as well when it comes to their turn ( time does go by) do these younger people who show no support think that they will never retire ?

Final salary pensions were unsustainable, as has already been pointed out to you. Us workers are paying to support the schemes that would otherwise be underwater.
