The Showman vs The Lawyer...

[Protheroe]

There you go again!  Do explain how me working for 46 years and my wife working until she is 70 (with five years out for child rearing) and ploughing a good proportion of our incomes into a mortgage makes  our house a “wholly unearned asset”.
Let's have a look eh? My folks' house cost £4,000 in 1974. Inflation would make it worth £42,000. What is its value today do you reckon?

I don’t know if you have your own property but if you do I assume you will gladly dispose of it to pay for your old age care, which comes at an extortionate rate if you have assets. Also not leave an inheritance to children which I’d have thought was a tenent of capitalism.
For many of us under 50 our property is our pension AND the source of our care costs. We do not have the luxury of decent pension provision. I'm  not sure where you get the idea that inheritance is a tenet of capitalism.

The T.V. “Tax” is for the over 75s, at present. People can still take out private pensions and employers have to provide a WPP.
Auto enrolment will be seen as the greatest state misselling scandal in history. The pots most employees will end up with will be worth a pittance, and are likely to count against them in means test.

So you don’t consider it fair for the state pension, barley liveable as it is, to keep up with inflation? 
I don't consider it 'fair' for the rise in the State Pension to be the HIGHER of inflation, wage growth or 2.5%.

The people “screaming blue murder” are simply countering those that incessantly bleat on about the , perceived, feckless .
The only problem I can accept is that some of the elderly benefits are universal.
