A pensioner pens his four proposals:
|
An earnings related pension.
|
We paid earnings-related taxes for up to 50 years, leaving school as we did at 14.
|
Free bus travel.
|
London pensioners appear to have this already. Those in the provinces have to pay. When we come to London we have to pay the full fare.
|
Free TV licence from 65 years of age.
|
Why this magical figure of 75? We retire at 65 not 75. Maybe it's because there are more 65- to 75-year olds than there are over-75s.
|
|
Concessionary travel on the railways.
|
Without having to make a payment of £15. What penny-pinching beggars they are.
|
It's not much to ask for those who have been paying taxes for over 50 years.
