[BITList] more Jenny Macklin on our side

yo Malcolm

Then your pension must be paid into a UK bank and then you have to import it into your foreign bank yourself.

where do you get that info from?

Yes, it is fair to blame MP’s for everything – everyone agrees.

I wonder why that we never hear the other side of the reasons why that folk who decide to leave the UK when their work life has completed to live in an other country. For instance if you go to an ECU country your pension is paid with increases as though you still live in the UK and it will be paid into any bank that you decide on in that country, unless you were in the civil service. Then your pension must be paid into a UK bank and then you have to import it into your foreign bank yourself. Sometimes this can be an advantage and sometimes not. It is not fair to blame the MPs for everything, it was the powerful civil service’s unions that got their members these advantage conditions.

Why is that?  -- you ask....

 

because as you said – civil servants and politicians are thieving bastards.

they vote themselves every benefit known to man and take advantage of loop holes in the law[s] that little people have never even heard of.

obviously I don’t know about Australia, but here in the USA, and until very recently, congressmen and senators would do and say anything to remain a politician.

I don’t think there is much more they can pay themselves and do for themselves here.

They generally come from middle/upper class back grounds with middle class salaries and leave as multi- millionaires, without exception...........

it may be dawning upon the dozy US voters that their representatives don’t have the best interests of their constituents at heart, however it may be that the voters are disillusioned and have given up.

of course, this is exactly what the politicians want.................

 

you saw what happened in UK with MP’s claiming everything under the sun as an expense....................little or nothing happened, a tap on the wrist here and there!

Ms Macklin said that around 190,000 of Britain's frozen pensioners currently receive an Australian age pension or partial pension, for which the estimated cost is roughly AUS$100 million (£70 million) a year. She pointed out that Australia would be saved that outlay if British expats received "fairly indexed" pensions from their home country. 

 

Is it possible that altruism is not what Ms Macklin is on about –could it be the savings to the Australian Government?

It may be that the pensioners would gain little if their pensions are “fairly indexed”.

there seems to more to this than meets the eye!

 

Lets not shoot the messenger.

 

What about that bunch of thieves that have stolen my pension.

 

Are you aware that there is a clause which exempts civil servants and politicians from having their pensions frozen/stolen?

 

Why is that?

 

 

ooroo
