    Not state pensions. Private pensions. I agree about state pensions. I think that people won't get them.

    You like your one word responses don't you. What did you think of view of the interest rate?

  5. How do you propose forcing people to save for a pension? Do you think the public would react positively to the government forcing them to do something with their money?

    No different to an interest rate rise or a tax rise. Only this way they get the money back.

  8. I disagree on your diagnosis & prescriptions. They are very unreal and seem very fictitious.

  10. No different from a tax hike but it is different from an interest rate rise. People have a choice whether or not to borrow money, and how much.
