    You are going in a different direction. MP's pensions are an occupational pension, not a state pension.
    Under a means tested arrangement they would be about the first to lose their state pension, something that would go down fairly well with the voters.
    The level of government occupational pensions is a different issue altogether, remember the old saying "charity begins at home".

    This seems to contradict your saying.

    Hi, does the seller need proof of residency at Morchit Land Transportation office?
     
    I'm the buyer and I have a work permit.  The seller only has the green book in his name and passport with visa valid for one more week.
     
    Thanks.

    Only you need one to register.
    I have a WP and they still needed a C of R from me but that was a different office as you.

    What about the MPs and their pension, will that apply to them too? I don't think so.

    They have their own preferential rules, like un-frozen pensions no matter where they live.

    Plus imagine relying on emergency services/Police/general labourers still working until 80!!!
    That’s been designed by pen-pushers who are not in touch with reality.

    Yes, I agree with all of that, but saying Ponzi scheme could make people believe that it is not a proper pension scheme, is not lawful, or that anyone can do whatever they like.  The contributors have rights under the Pensions Act, and indeed Common Law.
     
    For instance, it could not be means tested- anymore than someone's private pension could be- you can't just say 'you are wealthy so I am not going to pay you'. 
     
    The Oz pension, I think, has always been a means tested benefit.  The UK Pension is a bona fide Pension Scheme.
     
    Obviously, logically, this problem can be solved, by adjusting payments, contributions, and age barriers.  However unpalatable for the gov, screwing hard working people out of their pensions won't be a vote winner either.
     
     

    Wish I felt so confident as you that some cunning changes couldn’t be made despite the ‘current’ rules & regs.

    Their use of the word benefit for something that we are entitled to because we have paid for it is a tactic. It is an attempt to move the "line". Do we accept the notion that it is a benefit when we have paid for it?
     

    I don’t!

    Although no one is saying that anyone else should stop playing water fights , we are simply saying that  WE dont want to play water fights with them .

    I am happy to play when it suits me but to be on a highway with some p1ssed up nutter jumping in front of your scooter, is neither fun, nor traditional.

    Someone I know imported a 1953 MG/TD to Thailand, It took him 2 years to get all of the paper work completed and the final permission for import. He did not bring the car to Thailand until he had permission otherwise it would have set in an impound lot for the 2 years.
     
    He said he would go get the paper work fill it out go back the next week and be told sorry we need this as well, get the paper work fill out go back and repeat. He refused to pay tea money although he never said if any was requested.
     
    If you decide you want to give it a go good luck.

    How long ago was that?

    Agreed and yet I have to repeat that although many of the posts on the thread are probably correct, it is still speculation until the OP gets to the bottom of this and gives an update. Doubt if he will though. Be interesting to find out the nationality of the OP. From experience although there are gullible nieve people from all cultures. Some countries have more of them than others. Just an observation nothing racist intended.

    If all the TV FBI experts are right, I very much doubt that he would come back on here (in the same name) and admit he has been tricked.

    Most of them have no idea & are infact far less educated then other people in the village

    Most of the time they become Poo yai baan is because no one wants the job

    I disagree. There is potential for huge ‘kick backs/corruption’ to be had, so only the ones who can pay to be there, will be elected.

    I do, however accept that different areas might have different situations. The above, is what I have experienced first hand in quite a few Isaan villages.

    Doesn't matter what the prison conditions are when most crimes go unsolved in the first place.

    Unreported/not investigated and then unsolved.
    We have ‘exported ‘ call centers from UK. I just wish we could do the same with prison services. A few months/years in a Thai jail might make them reconsider their life of crime AND save UK taxpayers a fortune.
