UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

The name and the description seem to be at odds with each other.
Yep for decades women got to retire 5 years before men. In 1995 the law changed. Meaning that by 2010 all men and women wound need to wait till 65 to retire and claim state pension. Rather then the 60 women previously had.
So yeah while the women may have paid pension payments since the 1950s expecting a earlier retirement then men. And as have some right to object to the decision and law changes.
Inequality is a pretty pathetic claim and trully seems to insult the men treated unequally in this case.
But let's remember. Historically a lot of inequality for women including lower pay. Was far from made up for in that one reverse situation.
Thank you for the information
