After paying 46 years of National Insurance contributions, 'luck' has nothing to do with it.

This does not cover the cost of a state pension. Also, the state has already spent those NI contributions on the general population for the last 46 years, not put it aside to pay pensions.

It's the under 45's who are having to accept a situation which is basically unfair with regard to pensions, the "flat rate pension" for one.

britains state pension is unsustainable as are all the money handed out in benefits
