    There’s no need to give £10 billion to people who don’t need it just because they say they weren’t told about something that they were in fact told about.

    Even if the government had loads of money available — which they don’t — further enriching the wealthiest age cohort is not something they should do. As things stand, they would need to cut, tax or borrow to fund this. No one should be taken seriously unless they can say which of those things the government should do.

      again and again you reveal a level of dishonesty in your commentary that is quite frankly staggering.

      As I suspect you well know, this is not just a few women who feel cheated :

      The compensation recommendation came in a report from the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman earlier this year, which found that the Department for Work and Pensions failed to adequately communicate the changes regarding when women could receive the state pension

      The government accepted a finding of maladministration and apologised, but said it could not justify paying compensation.
