Who’s going to tell them that the answer is immigration?

[noseall]

BTW do you have any idea how much pensioners contribute to the economy

Net? Is this after you take into account the billions they receive in pensions or the billions they cost the NHS?

Please, share your data.

Immigration of the people that we need to fill in our void in the skills gap then this is correct. It doesn't mean the current position of illegal immigration. That picture paints a thousand incorrect words.

You've become very wise lately.
Is it because @pete01 keeps on telling you to "Wise up"?

I think you need to understand economics

At least pensioners pay huge amounts of taxes unlike lots of people in the UK

You clearly don't understand...

Everyone pays taxes in one form or another...

Ever heard of VAT for example?

I’m not going to engage in your banter as it’s not constructive.

And yes there are a few people who pay almost not taxes and that includes VAT

?

Conversely....

At least UK people pay huge amounts of taxes unlike a lots of pensioners.

Oh dear. You need to get out more then.

Do some sensible research and remember you’ll be a pensioner one day

For starters nearly 9 million pensioners pay income taxes

And coat a fortune in social services, benefits and medical costs. They are a bigger drain on the economy than education and defence added together.

Which is fine, but let's not pretend they are contributing more than they cost.

I'm not sure the idea of sending illegal migrants in to outer space will have much support but you could always put it to the Gumbies: they're desperate for any solution right now...so long as they get to implement it.

How many people in other countries, is for them to worry about.
We just need to deport undesirables back to their own country. Not to the moon.

I have always been wiser than @pete01 The only thing he has in common with being wise is the fact that he looks like an owl.
Think on !!!!!! [TM]

By the time one has reached pensionable age, I would imagine they have contributed a good bit towards that, unlike some young 'uns.

They will have contributed something, probably, but in the last 80 years or so they've been contributing less than they're taking out now.

When the pensioners of today were young 'uns their grandparents and parents were getting bugger all.

By way of what?

 

[fillyboy]

As long as they were dead prior to 1909.

edit: maybe you're right given how life expectancy has changed.
