Think tanks should be banned. Members of such tanks are usually very well off, as such their thinking is somewhat devoid of reality.
Think tank Joe has no fear of the tanks thinking as it will never impact upon them.
I worked hard for my Pension ( former coal face worker ) and the government rob the mine workers pension scheme no end of times. It even took a 10 year break from matching contributions we made. Yet the MWP scheme is still very rich. However the amount paid out to it’s members is pitiful. Instead of the Government raiding the surplus, It should have gone to increase the pension pay out to it’s members.
I seen this coming and got my Pension out as soon as I was made redundant. Through good sound advice I did very well investing my MWP. After qualifying as a social worker, and then working for the local authority. I transferred my pension into the Local Gov Pension Authority scheme which was a Super Attenuation final salary scheme. I was later retired under ill heath grounds with my full pension and lump sum.
Sadly, so many are not so lucky and will never see the state pension the way things are going. If it is increased to 75, you would have to ask what’s the point as so many will never see it.
