polly toynbee pits pensioners against children

This kind of viewpoint by Polly Toynbee annoys me so much. It's OK for people who have had decent well paying jobs and now have private pensions, but the British pension is one of the worst in Europe and old people who may well have worked all of their lives are struggling, especially in winter. I'm not saying child poverty is not an issue, as it obviously is, but let's not be pitting two ill funded groups against each other, they both should have more money funnelled towards them, but tax the rich and punish the tax avoiders, both individuals and companies. There's plenty of money for a fairer system, but so much is in  the hands of the rich, who do everything they can to avoid paying their share, as their wealth and profits increases every year. The full article is from The Guardian, and can be found here.
