We all want something for nothing, sometimes you just need to pay your dues. There are more and more pensioners and fewer and fewer tax payers, something has to give. Most politicians accept but are terrified to say that the triple lock will need to come to an end soon, that will be an exciting conversation. 

They’ve already partly fixed the problem of the triple lock by freezing the income tax thresholds.

Right -----> that's two things i can complain about. 
Thanks!

If you 'need to find things' then clearly they aren't impacting on you, so why would you do that?

You know, we can suggest more interesting hobbies for retirees…

No! Think of the job creation ...

Indeed, but why are you doing it?
