A large cohort of society who have no idea what is happening in our country has been allowed to vote.
What have they been basing their vote on? Waspi women have not been ‘betrayed’; they have betrayed us.
As citizens of a democracy, we all have an obligation to keep ourselves aware of current affairs.
The changes to the state pension age are controversial and have been in the news, on and off, for some considerable time.
There is no doubt, however, that there are tens of thousands of women in their late fifties who have no idea that this current hoo-ha is going on and are still blithely imagining that they will receive a pension at 60.
There is no way to communicate with these people; they don’t read a paper, they don’t catch the radio or TV news, and they only socialise with other ostriches.
