[BITList] You didnt tell - you didnt ask. UK Stolen Pensions

[X50type]

I just happen to have the leaflet in my file as an example of the info freely available. I am sure this was not leaflet no. 1. The UK old age pension has been around since 1909 and free settlers started to arrive in Australia around 1815.

Although you didn't ask about it, what difference would it have made if you had known your pension would be frozen?

Would you have changed your mind about going to Australia, or would the allure of sunshine, lollipops and rainbows been too much (as opposed to the dark satanic mills)?
