A new thing that has started to piss me off is when you join a new Facebook group and they do a weekly “welcome new members” and tag you. What’s the point? I always remove the tag.

The hashtag ‘highlight’ on FB is driving me barmy. Got a lot of artsy friends on there and they keep doing this. It drives people away.A new thing that has started to piss me off is when you join a new Facebook group and they do a weekly “welcome new members” and tag you. What’s the point?

Similarly, I've left a lot of groups recently who've used the @everyone tag. Fuck off.A new thing that has started to piss me off is when you join a new Facebook group and they do a weekly “welcome new members” and tag you. What’s the point? I always remove the tag.
If you don’t want to leave the groups, you can turn the @everyone tag off in your notifications by clicking the three dots on it. Has saved me a lot of annoyance!Similarly, I've left a lot of groups recently who've used the @everyone tag. Fuck off.
I don't get these - surely you can just post stuff in the group? There is a group I'm in where chats are used a lot to organise trips without clogging up the group. But other than that I don't get the point of themOr you’re suddenly in a messenger chat you never asked to join! GTF
When I was 16,the government made an agreement with me, that if I paid National Insurance every week, they would give me a pension when I was 60
I kept my end of the deal and am still paying in!!
On the 5th and 6th of June, the UK Government may be made to give back the right to retire at 60 to all those women who worked and paid their National Insurance.
Currently their pension payout is delayed until 66.
We all know that the pension age for women born in the sixties has been raised. Did you know a campaign called ‘Back to 60 Movement’ has won the right to a Judicial Review and is taking the DWP to the High Court? On the 5th and 6th June they will attempt to get the 3.9 million women justice over non consultation in raising the pensionable age to 66 and above.
Michael Mansfield QC will lead the case and the argument for the movement. However, there does not appear to be any media coverage regarding this significant event. That is why we’re raising the awareness now. Let's hope for justice rightly deserved.
There appears to be a media blackout on this issue, which suggests that the government have put a block on the media reporting it. So let’s use social media for what it’s good at - share the hell out of this. Come on ladies - this is worth a great deal to you!

Oh Jesus so much wrong with this post where to begin. Peak Boomer Facebook.This is currently doing the rounds on Facebook. It's annoying because we women have fought for the right to equality with men in the workplace. Still expecting to retire 6 years earlier than men because we are women is pathetic - in my view. It is women of 50+ who are posting this:
FFS, I'm in my thirties (admittedly very late 30s) and I knew about the changes to the state pension age in the 90s because my boomer mum and my aunts all did the "woe is me" thing talking about it. Despite the horrors that awaited them, they all were able to take early retirement in their late 50s anyway thanks to the fact their houses increased ten fold in value and they all, and their husbands, had amazing final salary pensions. Good old boomers! Thank goodness most of my boomer relatives haven't made it on to social media. The ones that have....Oh Jesus so much wrong with this post where to begin. Peak Boomer Facebook.
- That’s not how NI contributions work. NI contributions are not ringfenced. They do not go into a pot that is paid to you when you retire. They pay for current state pensions and other benefits.
- The Government is absolutely and categorically not lowering the state pension age back down to 60. If anything the SP age will continue to rise.
- Michael Mansfield is a KC, not QC.
- The “Back to 60 Campaign” lost their case. The High Court will not be paying any compo to these women who allege they were “not consulted” or “not informed” about the changes to State Pension age back in the 90s.
Yes, that sickens me. Wealthy people being gifted expensive freebies then posting an #ad on Insta to justify themselves.ADS. All the free shit influencers get & throw in our faces.
I think it was originally an eu ruling that all member states ( back then ) would achieve parity on retirement age through equality legislation set in the future years ( and that-then future date came and went a good few years ago now....).This is currently doing the rounds on Facebook.

It would be impossible though and not equitable given life expectancies, culture, health etc differ massively between member statesI think it was originally an eu ruling that all member states ( back then ) would achieve parity on retirement age through equality legislation set in the future years ( and that-then future date came and went a good few years ago now....).
Now we are out , it could be readdressed I should think - but if so, would it then fall foul of existing equality legislation ? That's equality for all , every which way. That's what it means, so that's that I should imagine...
