  • and had her pension taken away

    Equalised. And she had something like 15 years’ notice to make alternative arrangements.

  • The Pensions act in 2011 meant she'd have to work another six years. There was no warning of that. Working in a school during austerity ... this becomes an issue because staff are forever being queezed and job positions deleted. Dress it up as you like.

    The picture is more nuanced than you portray and goes back to 1995.

    Fundamentally (i) I do not think that it is reasonable to expect pension benefits from 60 any more given health outcomes and (ii) state benefits are not and have never been a hypothecated guarantee that cannot be altered.

    Austerity is a broader issue that the waspi women do not have a special claim for redress on over everyone else who suffered from spending cuts.

    I suppose that’s how I ‘dress it up’
