It has to be dealt with. And one of the things I actually do admire May for doing was at least attempting to start sorting this issue out. The 'dementia tax' needed a bit of tweaking, but we need to be honest with ourselves...we cannot afford to offer pensioners the world on a plate

The younger taxpayer has always subsidised older people - just like the younger generation of today will be subsidised by future generations - it's how it works and every generation benefits when their time comes.
