Having a total wealth of a million pounds may sound like these pensioners are rich.....but many of these pensioners will be asset rich and cash poor.
The money will be in the house that they own.....but they may struggle to pay their council tax, their utility bills and put food on the table.

I have been trying not to post to this thread as it just fuels C'mon to look for other sensationalist anti Tory headlines.
He does not see that all political parties are the same. Not in it for what they can do for the electorate....to make their lives better.
They are only in it to make a nice fat wedge for themselves....to network, so that when they are at last thrown out on their ear, they have influential contacts who will see them right.
Parliament is a nest of vipers. It is a shame that Guy Fawkes failed!

I find it difficult to get upset over flooding a Countries labour market with indigenous people, if anyone should have a priority to be on a Countries workforce it should surely be those native to that country, as for flooding the labour market with children of either Indigenous or migrants to be abhorrent.
No wonder those of a legal age can't get work if children are under cutting those that can be legally employed.

Yes, Guy Fawkes failed, had he succeeded all he would have done would be to replace a corrupt Protestant based Government with a corrupt Roman Catholic based Government.

Which group of people would have suffered under either system?

The same group that suffer under any corrupt Government, the ordinary folk.

Yes, Less..of course you are right...and in any case centuries have passed and we still have a shower of Fisons down in the POW.
Ordinary folk who think that they have a say in who the country is governed by and how the country is governed.......how very naive...gullible even!
Especially when our elected representative thinks that 95 per cent of us are too dumb to understand what being in the EU does for us...or some such tripe.......it was definitely 95 per cent though...that much I do remember.

Don't you feel a trifle narked that in former centuries when the population outstripped the market the government of the day used to pack people off overseas with a gift of a parcel of land waiting for them.

Its says:

It's based on GDP, the amount of income generated in the country in a given year.

Divided by the number of people in the UK, this income is still about 6% lower today than in 2008.

So if the number of people in the country go up it will affect the figure

The trouble is the land normally belonged to an indigenous people that we at some point had conquered.
