I lost all my old calculations between '75 and '75+'15 that I am on now. I'd love to have them to compare again.
No I can’t see that either. I know it would crinkle with those given grandfather rights, but no more so than the crinkling for those who didn’t get them in the first place, but simply moving everyone to 15 has to be the sensible option. There’s no age discrimination, it sidesteps the worst of the £4Bn hole, means they should be able to honour their 25 year pledge and doesn’t undermine public sector pensions by seemingly sticking 2 fingers up at the private sector as they will perceive their taxes paying for a pension rise (not the story but that’s how it will be spun) whilst they suffer.
