I had a promise that if I paid NI then I would receive the state pension.

It might have been better not to make that promise but you can’t blame people for accepting it.



Perhaps if people were burned for trusting electoral promises, they would be more mindful of their sustainability.

Stop justifying pyramid schemes.


>Stop justifying pyramid schemes.

It’s too late, those promises have been made. We have to lie in the bed we made.

All you can do is stop making future promises.

Yes, that involves treating it like pyramid schemes are treated.

That means:

- Arresting those involved in making them - Reclaiming all funds paid out - Refunding all funds paid in

Anything else isn't treating it like the pyramid scheme it is.
