        @BBCNews no point in me paying into a pension because they're gonna make sure I'm dead before I can claim it.

        @BBCNews If it keeps rising, we won't be claiming a pension because we'll be dead. Very, very bad.

        @BBCNews No doubt you will just sit there and back the scum as usual. The BBC needs shutting down and starting again minus it's illegal fee.
