        Hi, @theresa_may @jeremycorbyn @vincecable now you can all ease off on your attacks on older folk (intended to 'buy' the younger votes) & maybe think about how you robbed people of pensions... especially #Backto60 & @WASPI_Campaign_ women. Politician = self centred & shameless.

        Please, Jeremy Corbyn did not rob you of your pension. He has not been in power yet. I am a supporter of WASPI as your pensions have been stolen by the Tories. You paid into it and should get them at 60. Vote Corbyn. He will get the money from the Tax Havens to pay for them.

        Nobody robbed me of my pension as I am male and managed to squeeze into the at 65 group. Please don't let support of a party or individual make you think that they are not all complicit...they are. I think you will find Labour legislated in 2007. Does Jeremy support #BackTo60?

        So, all the nanny state banning, propaganda, kowtowing, bullying and taxation have had no effect or a negative effect? Don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat red meat, don't eat butter, don't go to McDonald's, don't do this, don't do that, yet we're still dying. Shocking stuff...

        Years of heartless Tory austerity brought about by irresponsible Labour overspending. What a surprise!

        Agree with you on the 1st point but that Labour overspending was it on the NHS Education or Social Services - Or was it bailing the banks out?

        Labour overspending on getting us into a war in Iraq where we had no business to be. We are still paying for that mistake.

        Absolutely no argument about that but I think any UK govt would have been dragged in with the neocons in the US so dominant. Don't forget what the US did to Wilson's Labour govt in the 60s cos he refused to get involved in Vietnam

        This was always going to happen. Medical advances can't extend life expectancy indefinitely.
