Is greypower on the warpath over fair pensions, or is it ephemera? I think that achieving useful outcomes from this courageous demonstration will require sustained effort, and that will only come about with some sort of independent and noisy national leadership.

 

There is some debate over the modesty etc of such demonstrations, but it seems that, sadly, in todays political and commercial life, the only doors that get oiled are the squeaky ones.

The push for higher pensions is being lost in the bigger picture. Some of us can wait for the new government to examine the pension issue but some pensioners are suffering. Thier individual cases need to be examined and then thier pension payments should be made appropriate for their circumstances.
