The WASPI Whiners’ Facebook page is here. Their latest piece links to a BBC piece titled, “Ministers reject Waspi calls for comepnsation after rethink”. If you look under the photo of a Waspi Whiner you’ll see that “Andrew Johnston and 274 others” have upvoted the piece, i.e. they regard the story as good news. He posted the following comments, among others:
“Finally, the mardy-arsed WASPI women have had justice served to them. Such is your selfishness and pure entitlement, you actually thought you were going to get something. And I myself thought the gynocentric system was going to give it.
As women, with your naturally longer lifespans, did you ever raise the issue in the past that women on average received 22 years of state pension, compared to 12 years for men? Did you ever raise the issue of ‘State Pension Inequality’ when you were the beneficiaries of it ?
As for your argument about not having enough notice, that is pure rationalisation and purely subjective. If something is wrong, it needs to be put right as quickly as possible. So, show some humility, move on and grow up !”
As you can see, WASPI have responded to Andy’s comments by limiting who can make further comments on the piece. A small victory, but a satisfying one. Andy, well done!!!

The government’s response included reference to surveys done by Gov.s past checking on how well their publicity campaigns had reached the target demographic. Apparent well dove. The WASPI claim about their ignorance only came to the fore when the Supremene Court and Appeal Court threw out their Sex discrimination case. This process began with a European Court ruling in 1986! There has been plenty of other cases and in 1995 Legislation. As you say the real injustice is to the men who were cheated of the same entitlement while the UK Gov.s dragged their feet. I was alerted to this years ago when colleagues taking “early retirement” in their early 60s got the free passes and concessions at because they had to applied to both sexes following a Court case in the early 1990s. The “first step” in achieving equality.
