But do we really want them? They've shown their 'work ethic' ditching work at the drop of a hat to go visit foreign lands. Imagine if they just up and left during a doctor's consultation?

Will never happen. Pensioners = votes. I can see reform of the system happening, but will only affect those of school age now and how their future will look, but will be something they 'grow up' with.

Which is truly shocking. Imagine if the money was invested. Doesn't need to be in individual pots as the management of that would be horrendous, but let's say there was a pot for all those who turned 18 in 1990. That pot was then added to year on year from that year's NI contributions from that 'cohort'. 50 years later when they start receiving their pension I imagine that pot would easily cover the £12.5k per person pa. I'd say the Gov't would also see a very healthy profit on what was left after they'd paid the pensions out each year as well. Not to mention the capital would still exist in another 20 years when most of them had died.... Our pension system is probably the most short sighted one in existence.

Inflation innit.

Although his assistant looks to have taken the temperature of the room before jumping! He wasn't going to stick his head on the block and say the idea was shit right from the start, oh no. He's waited until it was mathematically impossible for it to be voted through before raising his objections. I wonder whose name will be first in the hat when looking for Infantino's replacement?

No. That's Trump. Or Infantino.

His senior advisor has quit now that Asia has voted against. Rats, ships, sinking, something something.

Oh God, don't get you know who started on straw man arguments.

His welcome speech said that when he announced new policies he would also detail how they would be funded. I'd be happier if he kept to that.

MLG tripping himself up, again! Not even an hour has passed before completely contradicting himself!

Football manager something something.

Lol! Never a truer word spoken in jest

Anyway, as you were!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c79glnx1y55o It's just those pesky news outlets interfering and not understanding how things work, writing their fake news. Football is NOT being sold! It's just the main events like the World Cup that is being sold, definitely NOT football!

Football manager something something.

Maybe they need them all to put out the wildfires?
