So, it would be good if state funded pensions were anywhere near the minimum wage level (like Europe!)?
Let's face it we 'old folks' have paid our dues over 35/40 years into the pot. I've still got 2 and a half years to go. Whoopee 😡

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day?
Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

If people in Scottish constituencies are going to vote in unionist parties they should at least have enough principles to refuse free prescriptions, eye tests, tuition fees, personal care, etc, etc. otherwise that choice seems very hypocritical.

The Covid Inquiry report doesn't offer any surprises. The huge mistakes made were knowable at the time and repeatedly warned against by many of us.
And in relation to preparing for the burden of post viral chronic disease, I don’t think we’re in any better position with a future pandemic.

I’d point out that the Iraq report was instantly binned and never referred to again; that nobody is in prison for the Hillsborough disaster or for *soldiers literally gunning down civilians in the street*, and that there are no notable calls to exact consequences on Boris Johnson. This is standard.
