[BITList] More on the UK Government and their "Stolen Pensions"

[Malcolm]

John,

 

A few months ago channel 4 or 5 had a program on these topics. They had a
poll covering England and Wales asking should folk who have emigrated get
the pension increased every year like as we do who live here? 80 per cent
said No. We have all been told regularly by the government that most of our
pensions gradually go back to the government in the many different taxes
that we pay, but you people spend all your money in the country that you are
living. For instant Ena and I visited Aus in 1992 to see Ena's sister, her
husband ran a great big Ford car with a 4 litre engine with 2 petrol tanks
and I found that he paid less money for a gallon of petrol than I paid for a
litre. His car taxes were cheaper than I paid as all the taxes were less
than in UK. The first of the joke interviews that you posted explained it
better than I can. Have another look at it, there are your answers.

 

Malcolm.

You certainly have a bee in your bonnet about your pension. Instead of
asking us all to ask our MPs to fight your corner. Why do you not come back
to old Blighty  and put up with all the shit that we have to put up with day
by day. Believe me you would soon be buying a plane ticket back to
Australia.

 

In the UK Armed Forces returning for good to the UK would be counted as a
'self inflicted injury'. I'm not that daft.

 

How would you like it if you had paid into a pension fund "designed" to pay
you a pension when you retired only to be informed that you would NEVER
receive any COL increases?

 

We had in Australia a retired Battle of Britain pilot. He was on a pension
that was only a few quid. He was still on that when he passed away.

 

Don't forget that National Insurance is NOT VOLUNTARY. It is compulsory.

 

Ask someone in the UK what the NI is for? They'll tell it is for your
pension when you retire.

 

Didn't you watch the videos?

 

 

ooroo
