The support for expanding hydrogen use, especially eH2 shows a distinct lack of 'whole systems critical/rational thinking' especially by those in charge of the public purse.

<- compared to making 1Kg of grey (dirty) hydrogen. With the current electricity generation system, and modus operandi of eH2 production, even the environmental argument for eH2 is BS, certainly in the UK and probably most other countries.

currently limited, supply of low carbon electricity for.

Every 1Kg of electrolytic hydrogen (calling it green is currently green washing) produced using electricity that could have been used for existing grid demand indirectly produces about twice as much Phantom CO2 emissions -

The only thing we should be considering is possibly carbonising the existing 700,000 tonnes per year of grey hydrogen currently used and possibly some R&D and maybe small proof of concept projects for green hydrogen, so it's ready when we have run out of other things we can use the,

I don't disagree, but it's a separate argument.
Paying reduced stamp was optional, women would then rely on the husbands earnings for their pension, which is about 50% of the full rate. They could pay full stamp and get a full pension.
Lower pay just because you're a woman definitely an injustice

The SP varies, but the basic pension is still about half of of what is considered a minimum living wage comma based on a 37-hour week.

Men were betrayed for decades, but that never gets discussed.

Until 1949 an average UK male never saw a pension but average women had drawn pensions since ~1925, they typically lived about 5 years longer and drew a pension 5 years earlier.
Where was MASPI?

Thank you.

I would say this is probably less of an injustice than that of men in the past. Until about 1950, men typically died before they even saw a pension, while their spouses enjoyed 10 years of pension, 5 because they got it 5 years earlier and another 5 because they lived 5 years longer.

Perhaps if Swinney been born a few decades ago he might have been concerned about the injustice of men having to wait five years longer than women before they drew a state pension, whilst at the same time expecting to die typically 5 years earlier than their wife.

Thank you.

But nobody talks about the old days. My wife received state pension from 60, I had to wait till I was 65, which was over a decade after my wife because she is older than me.
Until 1949 the average male died before pension age. For women that transition happened in about 1925.

What about the historic betrayal of men being short-changed for decades, but that never gets discussed.

Even more so for men who were short-changed for decades, but that never gets discussed.

Something I find unjust is how men were short-changed for decades, but that never gets discussed.
