I always thought the vulnerable were Labour voters . I can’t think who’s going to vote Labour next election.

Thank you so much for your reply. I don't feel so alone with my thoughts on this now because of what you have said. Thank you. 😊

I actually think that it's beyond cruelty that we are put in this position, as you so rightly say, imprisoned in this utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt system. At this point in our lives, it does feel like being forced to play the long game while looking forward to our still distant release from prison.😞

I'm pleased for you that you are at least closer to retirement age than me. I'm 60 and still have just under seven years to wait.

I don't know about you but doesn't it feel odd that on just one day, your birthday where you become state pension age, suddenly, you become, in the eyes of the government and the establishment, free of blame for supposedly being an expensive burden that's ruining the economy to a person that's much more worthwhile and accepted as being honest and much more deserving. Perhaps it's just me but I think that it's really odd, quite surreal in fact. I think that it just shows the ridiculous, ideological, divide and rule thinking behind it all and certainly it has nothing to do with the lives that people like us are forced to live. 😠

I'm so sorry I think I'm wrong about this.

Unfortunately, to say the least, people clobbered by Labour are proposing to vote for Reform, locally and nationally.

Hi all, this discussion has reached nearly 100 pages and has become difficult for everyone, and particularly new members, to find the information they need. With this in mind we have started a new discussion with some of the key points and will be encouraging conversation to move there instead.
