While I can feel some sympathy I have to admit to having other  
feelings to.

UK pensioners living in Spain get their full UK pensions. Including  
annual updates and even their coal allowance.

UK pensioners living in many Commonwealth Countries receive no  
increase of their pension from the date that it is determined.

It is well known that there are WWII pensioners living in Australia  
who are still getting the amount that they got from the day that they  
retired. Around a couple of quid.

Meanwhile the thieves that go by the title of Members of Parliament,  
have been caught with their hands in the till, are the same people who  
deny that my pension has been stolen from me.

Mongrels.
