Here's my take on this, so let's start with the social housing...
People who had the right to buy, would generally not have gained much from it, keeping property developers and crooks out of this, those that would have benefited would have been a lot of the people now, complaining about pensioners. I can honestly say I'm in my 60's and have never inherited anything and I don't hold a grudge or bitterness towards our pensioners.
My next take is on the winter fuel payment or whatever it's called...
The government plan to save £1.3B by their meaures. However, that is not an entirely true figure and the real sum will be much lower. Which leads me nicely to furlough, that cost this country £68.9B....now just think about that for a minute, yet I don't see anyone slagging off the people that took it.
Yes like the pensioners, some would have needed it, but many would not have!
Chances are those pensioners would have worked all their lives to get where they wanted, there was no tourism and holidays abroad like you see today when they were growing up, there was no food banks to help them out when times was hard. Some would have been moved away from their familys as very young children during the war, some would have had to do compulsory military service...some will be in their final years.
