With greatest of respect to pensioners, while things have been a bit iffy these past few years, your generation has done pretty well. You've seen largely high employment, good prospects and social mobility due to the brilliant grammar school system, free higher education, good pensions from private and public sector employers, cheap housing and also the best of a full NHS. The real losers are the under 30s who have seen none of this but are paying for it. And you wonder why young people have been protesting and rioting?

Probably the only person in this Borough who will benefit is the council chief executive on £157,000 a year!

Villa_moose..don't forget these are also the pensioners that have stood on their own two feet with out much state help to bring up their children. No tax credits or child benefits when most of them were having and bringing up their kids.

Please don't play the poor younsters card. The kids in this country have never had it so good and neither have those who are having kids with all the help that is available to them if they are on low wages. Buying houses is a sore point, on that one I would agree. Higher education has never been free.It has always been heavily subsidised just as it is now.If students had the pay the true cost of their education there would probably be about 5% who could actually afford it.

And why do you say the under 30's are the only ones paying for it? As for the other stuff about high employment ,cheap housing,brilliant grammar schools..What era do you come from? I was born in the 60's and have seen high unemployment. People losing their houses when interest rates went to 15%. Oh and never had access to a grammar school. That was for the limited elite.The real losers are those that have paid into the system all their lives to be told they won't get the pension the deserve both private and public. Forget the under 30's who haven't even acomplished a third of what some of our pensioners have and think the world owes them a living with a god given right to it!!
