THE past week has been monumental for one group in society who are awaiting justice – the WASPI women born in the 1950s who got inadequate notice of the increase in their state pension age, and this week the parliamentary ombudsman has issued its findings that DWP maladministration affected some 3.9 million in the UK.
So, where do we go from here? Well, the ombudsman is taking her findings straight to parliament and MPs, so what can we WASPI women expect from politicians? In parliament on numerous occasions WASPI women have received cross-party support for their plight and now the ombudsman has found in their favour, adding weight to the plight.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
