End the triple lock on State Pension increases that is planned until 2020

What the petition asks
The triple lock on the State Pension means it will increase by 2.5%, inflation or earnings (whichever is highest) each year until 2020. As the UK has voted for Brexit, and a recession is likely, it is not fair that pensioners should be protected when those of working age are not.
