Is that what it says? I thought I had said those views were not my own but I was trying to provide the counter argument to people who say pensioners are untouchable.

Interesting that you took the time to research the point you made - providing a quote and a handy link - but didn't take the time to read my post properly.

Rich parents give me what I want. Incidentally, they claim a state pension each as well have a private one and sh*t loads in the bank. What a life they lead.

They also don't live in this country. LOL
