Overly generous State Pensions to be reined in.

Scotland.. the land of the quitters. LoL

If you consider things??

Great Britain has just Quit??

But if all those whiners were thrown out, the rest of the UK would want to stay in the EU.

• Sadly wrong Johnnyboy. If all the "whiners" were thrown out, the referendum result would have been 100% leave. The only people I hear whining about the referendum are the Remainiacs.

Let us take a hypothetical scenario, Judy.
Scotland (and NI) leaves UK! That would mean a permanent Tory Westminster parliament, and a permanent Scottish SNP/Labour parliament.

Which would you prefer were in charge of NHS? (The separated divisions, obviously)

Poor old Judy pretends to be unaware that the anti-Europeans have spent more than forty years whining about the EU, and show no signs of stopping.

It turns out that Scotland has three times as many jobs linked to the UK, than it does the the EU. Now does that mean that they are so desperate to leave the UK, that they'll cut of their noses to spite their faces.

Great Britain has just Quit

It's all perspective, did we quit, or get out whilst the goings good. And did the French right orchestrate the attack in Paris so that more people would vote for them. And will looby lou every find her lost glove. Keep reading for this and other explosive revelations.

I'm sure Boris the Buffoon will tell you that English biscuit-importers will lobby Theresa to keep the shortbread market fully open, with no trade barriers between E&W and Scotland.

You remember, like the full access to the single market without paying, that Brexit was supposed to get.

David Davis, the Brexit minister, would tell you the same

It is hinted that the 2.5% minimum annual increment to the State Pension will be cut back.

That'll be one in the eye for Theresa's supporters. Lucky for her they don't vote.


"But she declined to guarantee existing spending on state pensions which ensures a minimum 2.5% annual increase.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Philip Hammond has hinted that a pledge in the 2015 Conservative manifesto not to raise income tax, VAT or National Insurance before 2020 could be abandoned."

That hint was wrong then, wasn’t it?

Funny thing about the link that labour fanboy Jonny posted was the quote from Labour saying they pledged to keep the WFA. What was the first thing they did away with as soon as they got into power? Let me think….

A week is a long time in politics.

Were labour in for a week when they stopped the WFA?

Tinkering with the state pension triple lock always sparks massive debate. Breaking election manifestos on tax and pensions rarely goes down well with voters.
