Yes, sod the pensioners, they're the ones who got us into this mess.

And if they'd put more into their pensions when they were younger they wouldn't be reliant on £300 now.

Tend to agree regarding saving more. However spaffing gazillions up the wall on foreigners makes me a tad more sympathetic to our own people.
