The Tories say they want to ‘Level up’ the country.
Given the immense sacrifices made by the young in locking down to save the lives of the elderly the first thing the government should do is raise the pension age, cut the state pension, end free TV licences, free bus passes and other indulgences that the old receive. The money saved should be spent on improving schools, reducing tuition fees, improving vocational training and raising the wages of public sector employees for the under 25s.
The young are hardly affected by the virus, yet they have had their futures wrecked. The elderly need to say thank you with cash.
