  No pension no preparation for retirement

  a lot of my ex fellow servants must be now in their seventies, what can you do?.

  no children no money no home.

  it is so sad.. so many decided not to have children as the end was right around the corner and that was decades ago.

  @LHG

  here in the UK we have a safety net provision called pension credit. It is a means tested benefit for those of retirement age who dont--for whatever reason--qualify for the full or part state pension. So its ideal for pioneers who have never earned enough to qualify for their state pension.

  It is quite generous--more so for a couple. it is also a gateway benefit--meaning housing benefit for those who rent rather than own. There are other top up benefits for those with qualifying health issues. It doesnt take too much effort for a retired couple to get £20,000 a year in benefits. Which is probably more than they have ever earned in their lives.

  Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?

  it’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .

  if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.

  but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

  i dont know anyone personally that has died from covid.

  i also dont know anyone that has had a life changing or serious reaction to the vaccine.

  i even know a lot of people that have had covid--even though they had several jabs--and are now recovered.

  and i'm sure there must be lots that have never had the vaccine, and have never been covid positive.

  i wouldnt dream of advising anyone to have--or not have --the vaccine---its entirely their choice or decision.

  But i CANNOT see any justification in some on here advising others NOT to get vaccinated.---JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  i'm just getting over covid:--tested positive last wednesday--been really ill for a few days. tested negative these last 3 days.

  Thankfully--like the vast majority of UK citizens--i had 3 jabs--with no ill effects whatsoever. I do think if i hadnt had those jabs i would be in serious trouble now.

  Well done England!

  in the women's euro tournament, england beat germany 2-1 at wembley!!!.

  i'll be honest - i've never really been that interested in women's football.

  no, it's not because i'm a sexist pig, it's just that i was brought up on men's football and haven't had a tv license for the past 10 years.. but this win could really put women's football on the map, at least in britain.. there has been a bit of hysteria about the nickname 'lionesses' but i think it's a great name.
