Abolishing #TripleLock Pensions committment would be a grave error...
Britain's State Pension is the poor cousin to Euro Neighbours.
For the first time in a very long time People who get nothing, feel they are getting back some of what they paid in.
Its taxable anyway.

The full time equivalent per hour for a British State Pension is £6.42 per hour....
Way below even the minimum wage for an £18 year old!!
It's so dispiriting to see so many "progressives " attacking the #Triplelock !
Progressive my arse!

The state pension is a benefit. You pay NI for the entitlement to access it, but the cash you get back does not come from your own contributions.
Be thankful that it does not: the typical 60-year-old has paid in £134k in NI, but will get back £222k in SP payments.

Any Op Ed insisting that Ireland should integrate militarily with the EU, and that avoids confronting EU complicity in genocide in Palestine, can only be seen as propaganda.
Look out for it.

Both FG and FF had planned to run candidates supporting their moves to integrate Ireland into EU defence arrangements.
One or other would win.
They would then claim to have a popular mandate.
That looks set to backfire spectacularly.

It's all well and good for those whose sphere includes only those with decent private pensions to say the triple lock is excessive, but for the majority of pensioners without the benefit of private pensions to top up state pension, it surely provides reassurance
