I suppose in summary 'Yes Sympathy' but not at particular expense of other groups, we're almost all getting gutted by the same rises unless we're in the top few %. The pensioners getting shafted today are showing us just how it will be.
In the cases of older generations - having worked for decades and paid their share of taxes and NI they'll have seen their pension age pushed back, threatened and justifiably be wondering why they bothered, esp when they're palmed off with little better than we award the unemployed in the face of these huge rises, making whatever you'd saved worth effectively less everyday.
It must really suck to get to that age and realise that's basically it if you haven't put away in private schemes or in an investment portfolio of some sort, you're options to go out an earn are massively limited and in permanent decline.
