“It is outrageous when older owner-occupiers…object to new housing.”

by Alan Dean on 25 October, 2015

These are the words of former Tory MP and Conservative thinker David Willetts writing in today’s Observer newspaper. His article is about the government being good to elderly people at the expense of young people, future generations.

 

George Osborne’s plan to cut tax credits for working low paid families, causing a loss of income as high as 10% whilst state pensions continue to rise by almost 3% is highlighted by this thinking Tory as unacceptable.

Read David Willett’s well written article here. It is a stark message to those of us over sixty that our retirement comforts are costing future generations dearly.
