In the past few years successive UK government have had policies skewed toward older people (for older people read "active voters").
So things like:
- Winter fuel allowance
- Free bus travel
- Free TV licence for over 75
- NS&I pensioner bonds with market beating interest rates
All with no means testing. This leaves younger people (read "unlikely to vote") struggling for things like living wage, help with travel costs, expensive childcare, and a housing crisis.
It is not fair and the bribery with tax payers money has to stop!
