[BITList] more Jenny Macklin on our side

Wed May 23 12:29:41 BST 2012

Colin,

>From my 50th birthday to just before my 72nd birthday Ena & I lived most of
the time in Spain. During that time I met a lot of folk who had civil
service pensions, who had been Police, Teachers, Nurses etc and they all
complained that they did not have the freedom of having there pension paid
into any other than a British bank and they had to pay British tax on it
before they could change it over into a Spanish bank. Whereas all the folk
who had gone to Spain with (what I will call normal pensions) or sold a
business that they had built up can have it paid into bank or country which
they like. I have friends who had money stashed all over the place in
Europe, this allowed them to pay next to nothing tax in Spain. They only
declare there old age pension that we all receive. Why do think that Spain
is in the state is in now? Not because the Brits who retired there are
paying there share.

Malcolm.

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.

Malcolm.

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!

G'day,

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
