A green paper on the proposed future of state pensions was supposed to be published in November.


Anybody know anything about this?


I've deferred claiming my state pension pro tem (much good though I'm sure that's going to do me) in case there's a miniscule chance I might end up better off, and I need to know what the latest is - though I suspect there will be a two-tier system and people my age will just be told "tough, you're still on the old system".


Before anyone tells me, yes I know I will get a bigger monthly pension anyway by deferring it, but it will still be lower than it should be because I was a student for too long :-$ and nobody ever told me there was a cap on the number of years your NI payments were waived, or whatever the technical term is, whilst you are a student :-$

No, I'm wondering whether, having already reached pension age (as it is at the moment for women ie 60), I am likely to be eligible for this future proposed massive state pension which future pensioners are going to get, or whether I am stuck with what I'm due at the moment (6)

    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.
