Just spoke to my gran earlier, she is part of a waspi's group, she think they are planning something big.
Oh this is glorious.

I’ve got this incredibly amusing image of a throng of ladies of a certain age storming Downing Street, angrily waving knitting needles and lobbing homemade Victoria Sponge cakes at the hapless duty officers.

It’s going to be our own January 6th uprising, but with a bad hip and the WI.

Lol, how do you know this?
My father told me to never show my address in any form, so i do use a VPN and always will, until he tells me otherwise.
btw, i'm not a traveller, lol.
But why do you cycle to a different server each time and why have you chosen one rated highly problematic?

Surely your dad, who must be in his 50s, must have told you to choose one that wasn’t a risk to your tech. Does he work in IT?

Just spoke to my gran earlier, she is part of a waspi's group, she think they are planning something big. I have never seen her like this before. Its mad why Keir had even signed a pledge or something according to gran and now gone against it. She said she won't vote for the main two parties at all next time. I have to keep her calm at the moment.
f*** off, Right Brian Fanny, or whatever your name is.

so if they‘re baking Victoria Sponge cakes will their ’uprising’ be ‘self raising’?

You're certainly the fastest traveller we have.

Today you've posted from Germany, Denmark, Holland and Romania.

Are you on a scouting mission for Father Christmas?
I have my posts of the year down the ages. I think this has sneaked into this year's top ten.

Have you played Alphaguess ? (it does mean leaving the political threads)

The average amount of guesses for the word is between 13-17.

I played a new game called Posterguess. It's where you have to guess the name of a non monogamous poster who appears in a Lazarus form on the forum. It took about five with you on this occasion. And I'm normally pretty slow on the uptake.

Try and make it less obvious next time. It makes the game too short.

Can we do a poster family tree, or a poster lineage? I can spot what they were last time around - but what were they the very first time they posted, and how many user names have they had since?

What is she actually after? Is she just after a grand or two as compensation for hurt feelings and lack of information, or is she after the full whack of five years' extra state pension over and above what men get?

Shell be frozen to death shortly, so you won’t need to calm her for much longer.

I’m a waspi woman, I never received a letter about the new retirement ages, but I did know, only because I was working in HR for a national retail company. I was always sending requests for company pension forecasts to HO for staff and they showed the new state pension dates. I never expected any compensation but I’m furious how the likes of RR, AR and the slimy Prime Minister appeared to support the campaign whilst being in opposition.
I’m not entitled to the WFA either, because of my small company pension and savings, but as far as I can see, paying all the extra staff and overtime to sort out the Pension Credit applications, will cost far more than the £200/300 payment.

It’s seems that they promised ‘justice’.

Some folk might believe that ‘justice’ equates to what they personally want. Others might conclude that this phrase was used in the legal context (given the PM’s background) and that justice has been served because as you demonstrate, most women knew about the change so would have been compensated for nothing.

The justice served in this case is in favour of the tax payer. I’m as happy as you are angry that £10.5bn will be spent on things such as the NHS and securing our borders instead.

I’ll first admit that I’m not overly versed in this particular issue. But there seems to be an issue with people not being sent a letter regarding the change. Is there an expectation that they should? There’s been pension changes, and tax changes and law changes for that matter, in my lifetime but I’ve never expected a personal letter about these. I’m not quite understanding this.
