just abolish the pension entirely and invest it in defence

what's the point of paying people to get old if we can't defend them?

we might as well invest the pension money on defence and create some jobs it would turbo charge the economy. we could then spend 7-8% of gdp on the defence sector and associated industries.

we could then simply export the elderly to the colonies which are generally warmer so they would save on fuel bills plus we would then scrap the winter fuel payment and have even more money.

also, the cost of living would be cheaper for them than rip-off britain so it's a double win for them. i've seen how happy the brits are living in their "caravillas" in benidorm on bargain loving brits abroad. they do them up really nice and all seem so happy. some of them even help out at animal welfare charities so it would be good for their menny health. we've bought two great big ruddy aicraft carriers we could use them to drop them all off on a round robin basis. just sell it as a cheap cruise, they love going on them.
