STEVE WEBB was a liberal M.P who advocated that all state pensions should be unfrozen, however when he became a member of the coalition government he amazingly changed his mind. A typical politician.

Very true, my state pension has increased by nearly £400 per month since I returned to live in the U.K. But this figure is dwarfed by the amount of £ 15,000+ per year that the CHANCELLOR is now having to support myself and family since we returned.

it’s only been classified as a benefit for a few years, since the government craftily changed the wording, forgetting to mention that the state pension is payed for out of the N.I. Contributions

Pensioners receiving a pension of £12,500 are in your opinion rich.Amazing.

Meanwhile tens of thousands of ILLEGAL economic migrants are able to access benefits to the tune of £41,000 per ILLEGAL each year courtesy of the British taxpayers many of whom are affected by this policy of discriminating against pensioners who reside in certain countries.

Let me start of by stating that I never went to private school, always to a state school in a Labour stronghold. However I applaud those parents many of whom go without fancy cars or foreign holidays in order to do their best for their offspring’s, while at the same time as paying their taxes to send other people children to state schools. As a matter of interest the U.K tax payers are wasting millions and millions of pound sending children mostly from anti social families to special schools an example that I know of is a child who is transported to one of these special schools by Taxi at a cost to the tax payer of approximately £. 39,000 per year, this is in addition to the expense of providing two teachers to 3 children and many other expenses.

It would seem that you have a business in Phuket and that is the reason you are defending its reputation, unfortunately more and more of your potential customers are looking elsewhere to spend their time and money.

The figure you quoted is for those who retired after 2016,for those who retired before 2016 the monthly pension is approximately £750. And this is after they may have worked and payed N.I. FOR 50yrs. When the pensions are increased each year in line with the increase in inflation those on the new rate receive a larger increase then those on the old rate even though their weekly shopping bill is the same. This is all down to the incompetent and corrupt politicians of all parties throughout the years, who strangely received the full increase to their parliamentary pension wherever in the world they live.

What I cannot understand is why the BRITISH government is penalising BRITISH pensioners who retire to certain countries, what they should be doing is encouraging them to do so,thus saving many millions of £’s. I base this on my own circumstances when I returned to live in the UK. with my wife and two children. Cost of state school per child approximately £6,000 x 2 = £12,000. child allowance £2,160, my increase in state pension £4,512. thus an extra charge to the exchequer of £18,672 and this is without including medical and dental charges. OK I am just one individual, but just imagine if tens of thousand of UK pensioners returned to the Uk what would be the overall cost, probably in excess of the 3.65 BILLION pounds we are now spending on the Illegal Economic Migrants each year.

When I returned to live in the UK I was automatically entitled on day one to receive NHS care. Also from day one my pension was increased to the non frozen amount, thus increasing by a large % amount, if I had returned to a frozen pension country within 2 yrs of returning to the UK my pension would have reverted to the frozen amount, as it is I’ve remained her since my return receiving a nearly 100% increase in state pension.

So you think the situation has improved over the last two years, amazing.

During the last 20 yrs Muslim extremist have killed 98 people in the U.K. Thankfully our security services have stopped many more attacks and this while the MUSLIM POPULATION IS AT 8% of the whole population. Just waite while the figure is 20%.

Approximately 20yrs ago a cashier in a Thai bank was found to have withdrawn hundreds of thousands from different people’s bank a/c’s. His family repaid the money into the bank and he kept his job. It’s a know fact that a number of employees of U.K. banks have also been found to have been dishonest,some have been prosecuted while others were simple just sacked so as not to embarrass the bank.

A salary requirement of £29,000. Yet this salary figure is non obtainable for the majority of BRITISH workers especially if they live in the north. And if you add in pensioners on a gross pension of £9,000. It’s dream world.

Why or why has’t the Prime Minister or the Home Secretary come out and say the perpetrator of this terrible crime is not a Muslim and Immigrant ?
