Wow you really got triggered that benefits rose with inflation eh

> one of the two protected classes in the UK: pensioners or welfare recipients.

What an absurd and false statement which justifies disregarding the rest of your comment

Workers have been told we can’t have pay rises matching inflation because that would fuel inflation.

But pensioners get a 10% pay rise.

Two wrongs make it right? Shouldn't workers get a pay rise?

But they instead get a tax rise to pay for the pensions.

But since workers won't get a raise, pensioners shouldn't either, since the money that they get comes from the pocket of those who work.
