- WESTMINSTER'S SHOCKING DISRESPECT FOR WASPI WOMEN
Today I challenged against the U.K. Government's delivery of a mealy-mouthed response to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) report which leaves WASPI women in continued limbo with no plan to address the injustice they have suffered.
The PHSO conclusions vindicated the women born in the 1950s who have been campaigning for pension justice for many years, after their state pension age was raised with little or no notice, as well as delivering a damning indictment of the Department for Work and Pensions.
For the U.K. Government, aided and abetted by the incoming Labour Government to refuse to compensate these women is truly disgraceful and a shocking betrayal.
We in the SNP stand shoulder to shoulder with these women who are Not Going Away đ
The gaff is empty again their not interested đ
They didn't just change it once, they kept on moving the goalposts.
Compensation plus interest as HMRC would demand if we owed tax. Well said. The government are dragging their feet so more woman will die who are owed lost pension.
One word a disgrace đźđź
Excellent as always Patricia đ
Well i am surprised those men don't care about women
Did women care about men when men's retirement age was 5 years later?
Well said, no they did not give one hoot about it. This has been an injustice against men for decades, no wonder women live longer than men.@@eljay5009
tories and Labour weasiling their way out of a compesation package.
They are not interested in resolving this issue just waffling on as usual
I have a resolution - make women work for 5 years longer than men for the next century.
Whichever Government are in power need to address this appalling situation and re-prioritise it. It seems diabolical that money can be made available for immigrants of this country but not for the Waspie women who have contributed to towards the upkeep of this nation. Itâs their money - give it back to them!
And what about men of the same age. Haven't they also contributed - yet had to wait up to 5 years longer to get their state pension?
Wrong argument to pick. Women have had it good for far too long with regard to this issue. How about we ask women to work an extra 5 years longer than men for the next century?

You know what happened to your Name Sake ......These women Were NEVER TOLD The Age For Women's Pension Age Would Rise to 66.....Some only 6mnths before It was raised....WTF Would You Do WITHOUT WOMEN ...STFUP YOU đ€Ą....Do You EVEN WORK????!!!!
Thank you. Logical thinking from this one person. It has been proved to be an injustice but it seems many cannot accept that outcome! Why not I don't know. Money and time spent looking into it. They just should accept it.
Typical avoiding the question
I'm 20 days off being a Waspi. The cut off point is not great, as I wont retire till Im 67, with the same conditions as those born 20 days earlier. I understand those born in early '50s, but having started work shortly after my 16th birthday, i feel just as cheated.
No your predecessors were paid to early
@lisabutcher661 oh god. Divide and rule really works, eh. I try telling myself that, but then get resentful! I doubt my grandchildren will ever retire though.
So you are being treated exactly the same as a man of the same age - just what have you been "cheated" out of?
My retirement age is also 67 (and I fully expect it to rise again to 68 - which is the current proposal)
@eljay5009 yeah, I imagine you gave birth, looked after children, got paid less, had very little time to yourself, blah blah blah. By the way, not everything is about you.
They always quote other things rather than address the question. In some households some husbands donât see it as their responsibility to keep their wives thatâs what her pension is for but you try getting benefits when they include his pension into it and therefore deny them benefits
And some of us are not married
Women wanted equal rights.
Yes and no equal rights even now for women!! Women fighting since the suffragettes. Time marches on but nothing improves it seems.
PENSION PLEA (to the Government)
We are the women born in the 50âs,
Who will not falter in our fight.
The government postponed our pension.
This isnât fair. It isnât right.
We contributed to this Nation,
Our workforce made this county great.
We donât deserve to be singled out
Told our pensions have to wait.
We enriched the UKâs economy,
As teachers, nurses, mother and wife.
Now a random birth date lottery
Gives us an impoverished life.
We did as the government bade us,
Made sacrifices and paid our due.
Now is the time to repay that debt,
We did our bit. Now its up to you.
Trudy Howson LGBT Poet Laureate
The 8.5% doesnât even cover the council tax increase.
Thats because they died waiting for there pension
Oh yes you have increased the pension, the one we can't access for 6 years and the loss of ÂŁ48,000 to ÂŁ54,000 for the period we should have got it. The pension we have been paying into and have been struggling to pay bills, keep a roof over our heads, no holidays etc, etc. Shame on you. Stop prevaricating!!!
You haven't been paying into your state pension - that's not how it works.
what about the rightful percentage denied to us during covid that we did not recieve full amount for us all during that year when interests or wages were higher
How about some respect and appreciation for men that went on working till 65 while women got the same pension FIVE years earlier.
That went on for DECADES, where were the waspi women then? Were they protesting that inequality.
Not a bit of it.
The Government made a long overdue correction.
This is truly awful. Labour are shocking. Another post office scandal.
Hardly, the sub post masters have a very viable claim to compensation whereas the WASPI's and their crooked lawyers are just on the make. Grifters.
Thank you so well said .đźđź
I find this whole situation alarming. It is horrendously sexist and the whole debate needs someone honest enough to say no, enough. Women have got away with being able to retire earlier than men for far far too long. There is a reason why women live longer than men and have benefited hugely from this appalling miscarriage of justice against men for decades.
270 thousand women have died without their pension so much for living longer. A myth put out as it is not always the truth!
And Men working for 5 years more?
Well : isnât the truth that pension age equalisation has eliminated an injustice in favour of women since men had to work five years longer before qualifying for a state pension ?
Did the five years less mean the actual pension amount was less than for men ?
Men always had the better paying jobs, bigger pensions, did not have to take time off to look after children, that was always women's domain. Please don't play the poor men retiring at 65 card and that was such an injustice.
â@@user-iu2ny5iq2r Everybody knew the increase in the pension age was coming.
My pension age has risen too but I'm not moaning about it.
So did men get a larger payment at 65 than women did at 60? That was the question I asked
@@johnlawrence2757yes
â@@johnlawrence2757Yes actually a mans pension was more.
More lies again
Equal rights for women?
But only when it benefits them. Not so keen on it when it disadvantages them.
Demand equal rights then cry when they get it
Misogyny still alive and kicking it seems.
Most men have the vast majority of jobs that require 'hard work' but they have always been made to retire at 67 so I really don't have any sympathy for these women. In fact they still get a better deal than men because they live for a few yeas longer on average and so are still taking the state pension longer. I think it is disgusting, hypocritical and immoral that they should be whinging that they want hand outs. Pure greed and selfishness.
A lot of women work hard and work just as hard on getting home. Just misogynistic comments on here. It has been proven it was a wrong that should be righted. So should be sorted as instructed. End of.
@@janetmalcolm6191 Made equal don't like it so can lump it. End of.
how sexist can you get ? what about men as well I had to work a year extra for my pension ,im owed money too ,
