Increase in State Pension Age
As you know, anyone born after 6 October 1954 has a new State Pension age of 66 years. This is a loss of approximately £42,000 over the six years for every woman affected. I would urge you all to read and sign the online 38 degrees petition by Anne Keen. Simply google reverse the state pension law.

NewTesco online password policy
Anyone else been infuriated by Tesco's new online password "strategy" Last week in a rush to do the shopping logged onto Tesco site only to be forced (no prior warning, no "14 days to change password" etc) to change password. Bad enough, but we as a family already have system to generate secure passwords - guess what,…

Theme Parks - 12yr olds are adults
A campaign should be undertaken in relation to this ridiculous issue of classing 12yr olds as adults. Cannot think of any other industry where this happens.

Taking kids out of school
Why is it against the law to do this for some of us and not for others. 'Travellers' are allowed to take off any time for 'travelling' . Most of them live in houses and use this as an excuse. My daughter worked in a school with a large population of 'Travellers' and saw this happen many times. They even have their own…

Ban the TV Licence
Or TV tax as it should be called. Why on earth should anyone be forced by the goverment to pay to watch broadcasted video. I do not like the BBC and already pay to watch programmes I do like, although I will be only watching DVDs soon. Many people could save a lot of money without this vile tax. Update: As I would like to…

Loans targeting teens/students/those with debts.
I was appalled to see a letter to my daughter from Provident Personal Credit offering cash loans for £100 to £500 (representative 399.7 APR :eek:). She got her first proper pay slip last week and is planning on University in September. Fortunately she has a good MSE head on her shoulders so will not be taking them up on…

Opticians who rip off the NHS
Have you ever wondered why Tescos Opticians and similar outfits offer such silly prices on their products. Most people assume its purely down to buying power but the truth is much more unfair. The truth is that we, the taxpayers, are subsidising their bargain prices which then draw customers into the main supermarket and…

Campaign for real English
Has anybody else noticed the sudden resurgence of the word segue which is currently mispronounced segg-weigh with no stress on either syllable? My son Richard used it on my last visit and only this morning it was used 3 times in 3 minutes on the Andrew Marr show. Obviously the e should be softened as there is only one…

Economy Broadband for Low Income Households

If not MSE then maybe there are people out there who know all about social media and organising campaigns who could rally support. I am not good with twitter and facebook but thought I should at least put something on…

Stop Dodgy Online Product Reviews (Argos)
I have very nearly been duped by what appear to be dodgy online reviews from Argos. The following email to them explains: re. Argos item 333/4807 "I've just looked at buying the above helmet for 9 year old Son. Seeing the great reviews I was going to order it on-line but, because it's important that a helmet fits…

Should we place Martin Lewis on the new £1 coin?
Half joking here, but considering how many people wish Martin Lewis to be chancellor how about a petition to place him on the other side of the new £1 coin? I bet we could generate enough votes! perhaps he's campaigning already! Old picture I think! Oh I remember the threepenny bit!
