Minister lehnen Waspi-Forderungen nach Entschädigung nach Umdenken ab

Good. Your delay is not a burden the taxpayer should shoulder.

The right call. A crazy amount of signposting on this.

Taxpayer resources already compensated Waspi women. They paid for the decade of signposting, targeted directly at the people affected, which tens-to-hundreds of thousands of people managed to follow with no issues.

If it still doesn’t feel fair to you then start a GoFundMe. This is the definition of a you problem.

>The government reconsidered the case after a new document came to light, but has again concluded no compensation should be paid.

Good. I was a bit worried that the government would take the opportunity from there being a new document being reviewed to back down, and try and buy some credit with these women.

>The Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) group said the latest decision demonstrated „utter contempt“ for those affected.

Quite rightly so, we *should* have contempt for them. They’re trying to weasel their way into getting millions of pounds in a hand-out that they don’t deserve. Their claim is that they planned their retirement around retiring at 60. However, the women in question did none of the following:

* Watch the news or read a newspaper.
* Talk to any friends, family members or colleagues about retirement.
* Talk to their employer about their retirement plan.
* Speak to a pensions advisor.
* Google anything about pensions.
* Check to see how large a pension they would be receiving, to make sure that they were able to actually live off that amount (because anything that told them an amount would also have told them when it would start being paid).

And they managed to avoid doing any of those for more than *fifteen years*.

So in what sense can they say that they „planned“ their retirement based around it starting at 60, given that they did nothing that might constitute the word „planning“?

J K Rowling can pay for the compensation. Since she’s so bothered about women’s rights.

How can they say they weren’t warned of the change?? Maybe they should have put a little notice under the crossword puzzle in the paper.

Good, the greedy WASPI’s should not get a penny… sorry being thick/ignorant of a change like this, doesn’t mean you should get anything.

EDIT:

>Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokesperson Steve Darling MP said affected women will feel „utterly betrayed“ by the decision.

>“False hope was given to them in the autumn, and so that hope has been dashed,“ he said.

>Ann Davies MP, the work and pensions spokesperson for Plaid Cymru, said: „The changes to the state pension age were poorly communicated, rushed through, and fundamentally unfair.

Also why no one serious can vote for parties like lib dems or PC…. they are utterly stupid, to still be pushing this…

Good. This really needs to be put to bed.

I’m sorry that these ladies might have to retire a few years later than they hoped, but they still be retiring at a far younger age than the generation that follows them and who would have had to foot the bill for this.

Good … was an absolute piss take that women got to retire years earlier anyway

I don’t think I’ve hated a political group quite like the WASPI women.

Truly despicable humans who take no responsibility for their idiocy.

Fuck them all

This is the right decision. At a time when age is becoming the great differentiator in this country, it would be madness to give them even more.

Now means test the winter fuel allowance again and the pension while you’re at it.
