Comments by "" (@foxmoongaze) on "Why is Labour picking on pensioners?" video.

More than 50% of people from their mid 30s upwards voted for Brexit and out of the EU. Picking solely on the pensioners seems unreasonable but probably easier and part of another agenda. The older population probably better remember that the EU was originally created as a union for trade, and not to govern member states from an unelected and unaccountable central parliament which is never going to work well - look at what happened with the USSR.

Don't we give much more supporting illegal immigration? Didn't all civil servants/government workers just get big pay rises amounting to an additional £20 billion a year? I could be wrong on the figure, but, big salaries and big pensions for them all. Maybe we could save much much more by reducing the size of government which has nearly doubled in the last 25 years. 100 years ago the whole government was about 24,000 across the whole country, today 4 million. Maybe the newly released workforce could fill all the job shortages currently justifying the illegal immigration and that associated expense.

@blackroseangel123 Make pensioners pay for Brexit, hmmm. Only 36% of 18-24 year olds bothered to vote. Maybe we should make all the apathetic non voters pay for perhaps allowing Brexit. Then think about yourself making an unpopular vote or influencing comment in the future, should pay as well?

Ah, I see you think pensioners deserve it because you didn't want Brexit. Anyway, we never got a Brexit as Labour and the globalists squashed dead every chance and opportunity that came with it - now the UK is a just pseudo member of the EU and a complete joke.

@RobinHarris-nf4yv The EU parliament leaders are not voted for/elected by the public, they are appointed by their peers. The EU, and it's courts, have power over the sovereign nations and tell them what to do and what is and isn't legal - I call that control. The EU is a catastrophe and becoming more akin to what was the USSR. The EEC and the "common market" was a much better preposition.

@RobinHarris-nf4yv I think you are reading from the hymn sheet and not looking at reality. Brussels demands ever more power to command the sovereign states and NATO has become it's partner pulling strings. Brussels has managed to turn the EU from a "global economic superpower" into a "has been". Look at Germany, once the powerhouse of the EU, now just a shadow of it's former self, thanks to Brussels. The EU may have been a good idea once, but now its a strutting, sanctioning, pile of poo poo. The EEC was a far better idea for European countries.

@RobinHarris-nf4yv Ireland and Apple would disagree with you! Brexit never really happened as every boon and opportunity was squashed and squandered by a parliament determined to make it fail. As you are making guesses, my guess is you vote green and believe everything you hear or read from the MSM.
