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! :'(

I feel like I'm missing something here. The law was changed in 1995, to come in to effect from 2010 onwards.
How is 15 years not enough notice?
Theres an extra detail that is often missed, in 2011 the roll out was accelerated by 4 years and there's some evidence it may have taken in to 2014 to notify everyone affected so it's possible you may have been expecting to get a pension in 2016 and with just over a year's notice find it's been moved to 2020.
They also increased the age to 66 and now 67 for everyone.
I have more sympathy for those but that's a much smaller cohort than the 3M figure being reported.
