How the fuck are you going to define someone by a pension? Seems like a lot of assumptions and prejudice goin in that definition. Is Pension like a town or something too?

    My understanding is that it's a British term for retiree. Basically just means elderly

    I know some safety nets are better than none (and that this is a meme thread I'm dragging down), but don't fool yourself - millions of older people in the UK go hungry and cold because they can't afford the basics.
