Compensation plus interest as HMRC would demand if we owed tax. Well said. The government are dragging their feet so more woman will die who are owed lost pension.
Whichever Government are in power need to address this appalling situation and re-prioritise it. It seems diabolical that money can be made available for immigrants of this country but not for the Waspie women who have contributed to towards the upkeep of this nation. It’s their money - give it back to them!
Wrong argument to pick. Women have had it good for far too long with regard to this issue. How about we ask women to work an extra 5 years longer than men for the next century?
@@icarus877 You know what happened to your Name Sake ......These women Were NEVER TOLD The Age For Women's Pension Age Would Rise to 66.....Some only 6mnths before It was raised....WTF Would You Do WITHOUT WOMEN ...STFUP YOU 🤡....Do You EVEN WORK????!!!!
Thank you. Logical thinking from this one person. It has been proved to be an injustice but it seems many cannot accept that outcome! Why not I don't know. Money and time spent looking into it. They just should accept it.
PENSION PLEA (to the Government) We are the women born in the 50’s, Who will not falter in our fight. The government postponed our pension. This isn’t fair. It isn’t right. We contributed to this Nation, Our workforce made this county great. We don’t deserve to be singled out Told our pensions have to wait. We enriched the UK’s economy, As teachers, nurses, mother and wife. Now a random birth date lottery Gives us an impoverished life. We did as the government bade us, Made sacrifices and paid our due. Now is the time to repay that debt, We did our bit. Now its up to you. Trudy Howson LGBT Poet Laureate
I'm 20 days off being a Waspi. The cut off point is not great, as I wont retire till Im 67, with the same conditions as those born 20 days earlier. I understand those born in early '50s, but having started work shortly after my 16th birthday, i feel just as cheated.
@lisabutcher661 oh god. Divide and rule really works, eh. I try telling myself that, but then get resentful! I doubt my grandchildren will ever retire though.
@eljay5009 yeah, I imagine you gave birth, looked after children, got paid less, had very little time to yourself, blah blah blah. By the way, not everything is about you.
Oh yes you have increased the pension, the one we can't access for 6 years and the loss of £48,000 to £54,000 for the period we should have got it. The pension we have been paying into and have been struggling to pay bills, keep a roof over our heads, no holidays etc, etc. Shame on you. Stop prevaricating!!!
How about some respect and appreciation for men that went on working till 65 while women got the same pension FIVE years earlier. That went on for DECADES, where were the waspi women then? Were they protesting that inequality. Not a bit of it. The Government made a long overdue correction.
I find this whole situation alarming. It is horrendously sexist and the whole debate needs someone honest enough to say no, enough. Women have got away with being able to retire earlier than men for far far too long. There is a reason why women live longer than men and have benefited hugely from this appalling miscarriage of justice against men for decades.
Well : isn’t the truth that pension age equalisation has eliminated an injustice in favour of women since men had to work five years longer before qualifying for a state pension ? Did the five years less mean the actual pension amount was less than for men ?
Men always had the better paying jobs, bigger pensions, did not have to take time off to look after children, that was always women's domain. Please don't play the poor men retiring at 65 card and that was such an injustice.
Most men have the vast majority of jobs that require 'hard work' but they have always been made to retire at 67 so I really don't have any sympathy for these women. In fact they still get a better deal than men because they live for a few yeas longer on average and so are still taking the state pension longer. I think it is disgusting, hypocritical and immoral that they should be whinging that they want hand outs. Pure greed and selfishness.
A lot of women work hard and work just as hard on getting home. Just misogynistic comments on here. It has been proven it was a wrong that should be righted. So should be sorted as instructed. End of.
@@janetmalcolm6191 It has not been proven at all. All that has been proven is that these women are con merchants on the make. They just got equality with men and don't like it. END OF.
Excellent as always Patricia 👍

They didn't just change it once, they kept on moving the goalposts.
One word a disgrace 😮😮
Well i am surprised those men don't care about women
Well said, no they did not give one hoot about it. This has been an injustice against men for decades, no wonder women live longer than men.@eljay5009
tories and Labour weasiling their way out of a compesation package.

They are not interested in resolving this issue just waffling on as usual
I have a resolution - make women work for 5 years longer than men for the next century.
Typical avoiding the question

No your predecessors were paid to early
@lisabutcher661 oh god. Divide and rule really works, eh. I try telling myself that, but then get resentful! I doubt my grandchildren will ever retire though.
@eljay5009 yeah, I imagine you gave birth, looked after children, got paid less, had very little time to yourself, blah blah blah. By the way, not everything is about you.
Women wanted equal rights.
Yes and no equal rights even now for women!! Women fighting since the suffragettes. Time marches on but nothing improves it seems.
The 8.5% doesn’t even cover the council tax increase.
They've had at least 5 years to look at this!!
This is truly awful. Labour are shocking. Another post office scandal.
How dare you compare this with the PO scandal? Bloody cheek. This is just a bunch of scrounging harpies trying to get money they don't deserve.
Six months later and still nothing. These people are all hot wind. We will all be dead before they say ‘you know what? They did deserve that money!’
Oh yes you have increased the pension, the one we can't access for 6 years and the loss of £48,000 to £54,000 for the period we should have got it.

270 thousand women have died without their pension so much for living longer. A myth put out as it is not always the truth!
Here here
how sexist can you get ? what about men as well I had to work a year extra for my pension ,im owed money too ,
And Men working for 5 years more?
Thank you so well said .😮😮
More lies again
Well : isn’t the truth that pension age equalisation has eliminated an injustice in favour of women since men had to work five years longer before qualifying for a state pension ?

@@JulieGraham-u7b Everybody knew the increase in the pension age was coming.
My pension age has risen too but I'm not moaning about it.
So did men get a larger payment at 65 than women did at 60? That was the question I asked
@@johnlawrence2757yes
@@johnlawrence2757Yes actually a mans pension was more.
Equal rights for women?
But only when it benefits them. Not so keen on it when it disadvantages them.
