With respect Ed, my work experience tells me that most people are doing absolutely nothing to prepare for their retirement. Everybody expects the present system of State Pensions to remain for the foreseeable future. It will become more expensive to maintain this system and recent Governments, of both colours, have recognised that by raising NICs and the age at which people can access their OAP, and there is no evidence that this support will stop at any time in the near or medium future.

But people need to supplement the OAP, as it will not meet the much higher expectations of the present younger generation. Alas, there is little sign that enough people are saving anything like enough to make a useful difference.
Sandy...you have a difficult choice to make in your corner of the world, thats for sure !
"There won't be a pension, not a state one anyway" - and mikey's marxists will tax the private ones if they get in as demontsrated by Mr Brown when they were last in!
Mikey, //my work experience tells me that most people are doing absolutely nothing to prepare for their retirement.//

What do you do for a living?
in my work experience over years most everyone planned for their retirement, most everyone paid into a company pension scheme. certainly in my last employment where it was a good deal.
what happens when not enough of our young have jobs to be able to save into scheme, think about that a bit.

Reading through your 08.58 post, highlights the need for something that separates other ABer's contributions from those of your own, ie italics or the way I have chosen ///
naomi,
Isn't it obvious? Mikey is a PR guru for the Labour Party/the Ed Miliband appreciation society.
He also does an interesting line in rose tinted specs!
How does the latest youGov poll stack up against this one mikey?
ANOTHEOLDGIT the Ed has used quotation marks for others' comments.
using quotation marks to indicate something's a quotation? AB is at the cutting edge of syntax here.


///The Ed Miliband Appreciation Society///

That has got to be one very small society!
Poll Latest: Lib Dems outnumbered by abstainers. Oh.
Baldric: Actually the Ed Miliband Appreciation Society is huge. Conservatives everywhere admire him ...
jim tongue in cheek, or provide the proof.
Tongue-in-Cheek, obviously, although that Labour lacks a strong leader is presumably in the favour of the Tories.
the photo's of him eating a bacon sandwich didn't help, why do these politicians not say i am going to eat, so can i do so in privacy, away from the cameras. then when done making a mess they can get back to politics.

"A plague on both/all your houses" probably should have been an option in the poll :)

Depending how old you are, "near and medium future" are very subjective :)

Maybe it's just the ones I've met, spoken to and worked with.

///"Reading through your 08.58 post, highlights the need for something that separates other ABer's contributions from those of your own, ie italics or the way I have chosen"

We do need something better, and italics doesn't always work.

Thanks for bringing up how stupid a Milliband can look when they put their minds to it. Yet again though, Ed still resides in David's shadow even in the event of looking silly:
