The pain and hurt in me and the 3.8 million women born in 1950s being denied their state pension is an utter disgrace... This is surely not the values of our land? We not only helped to rebuild the UK after the WW2 but are the daughters of those that served in WW2 to defend liberty to liberate those that were being persecuted.. The values to care for others and help those in need of help. To care for one another as a nation. To care for the weak, the sick and the elderly. So it is totally incongruent to treat women over 60 in this way. Stressing them, shoving them into poverty. Forcing them to work again when they have worked near on half a century for this land. Having ESA stopped when ill and suffering the ravages of getting older. We brought families in the world. Families that care for their mothers and has our generations come along..... grandchildren that care for their grandmothers. All angry at the government treatment of all women born in 1950s like this.
My mothers first husband was batman to Montgomery he survived the war but died of cancer after..... then my father came along in my mothers world and they married. My father was keen on nursing & was one of the first male nurses permitted on the register, if you look in history nursing was primarily a female occupation.... In the war he gained experience as an ODA - Operating Department Assistant helping surgeons to put back broken soldiers bodies from the war. He after the war was in the nursing team of Charnley the orthopaedic surgeon that developed the hip replacement.
It really does not sit well with me and all the values my parents were examples of. My mother would fight for justice and fairness....one of the first Labour Party members from the hardworking mills and factories in the North of England that built the wealth of the nation that the few pocketed! Both of them must be turning in their graves at this situation of this Torturing Tory Government abusing women born in 1950s among them their daughter. To think we have a woman PM Theresa May and this year 2018 the centenary of women's votes.... can she not see that this is political suicide to ignore women nationwide shouting for their pensions..... and to what appears try to mute the media in the main news channels not reporting our rally and the traffic standstill in London on Wednesday. But we are 1950s women and we will not be MUTED we will stand tall and stand our ground. We paid in you pay out! We have paid in near on half a century tax and in that pay the wages of politicians... so we pay your wages you pay our pension... We will not forget the pain inflicted upon us.... many of the Conservative members and supporters are uncomfortable with the treatment of older women in this way.. so angry with government for not listening. There is a lot of votes to lose this figure of 3.6 million can be xs at least by 10 with all our families that are angry at mums and grans treated this way! But also traders not happy as they can see we have lost our spending power and their businesses are suffering as a consequence....
