I’m the right age to be a WASPI woman and they get on my nerves. We were told well in advance. The only people I feel a bit sorry for were those born in 1954 who had a sudden unexpected change.

I’m waspi age but cannot understand the waspi argument. Earlier pensions for women were unfair to start with and the change was announced well in advance. You can’t demand equal pay on one hand and better pensions on the other.

Will reform give them anything ?
Labour took the cause up once, but once they saw how much it’s going to cost , they soon backed off.

Yanbu.

I am the first to advocate for women but i knew all about this / the changes and i was 10 when this was announced.

So they are claiming that Reforms wins in the council elections are down to their votes ? Yeah right

They'll get nowhere. Men got a far worse deal. Shorter life expectancy yet had to work 5 years longer. I wish they would quit moaning,

Well, how would you feel if you'd had tens of thousands of pounds stolen from your expected government pension, AND being made to work and extra seven years into the bargain.
Don't forget, we waspis paid towards our government pension for the whole of our working life, and it was all many of us had to keep us through our retirement, as many of us didn't for whatever reason, or couldn't afford to pay into a private pension too
