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.
