PENSIONERS
Send This to Clegg and Cameron a million times and see if it sinks in!
The only way things will change is when this kind of message translates into voting results at the polls --
as of NOW -- PENSIONERS out number ANY OTHER type of voter even by race - religion - or age ---
WHEN ARE PENSIONERS gonna wake up and understand WE have the
power to shape legislation all WE need is the will power to do so--
PLEASE SEND THIS Message BACK AROUND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS -- MAYBE
THEN THE "GREY REVOLUTION" will begin --- MAYBE !!
POLITICIANS PLEASE PAY ATTENTION !
FORWARD THIS TO EVERYBODY !!!
‘Entitlement’ my ****, I paid good money for my State Pension and other benefits!!!! Just because they borrowed that money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Gold plated MP pensions and Civil Service Government benefits, aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, 20 weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call me a 'greedy pensioner' and my retirement, an ‘entitlement’ !!!!!!.....scroll down................
What the HELL's wrong with us???
WAKE UP BRITAIN !!!!
Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Pensioners, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????
but spent 1.2 billions of £££'s for G-20 events!
In the last few months we have provided aid to India, Greece and Turkey . And now Afghanistan , Pakistan ...... home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of POUNDS!!!
Our retirees living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organisations pour Hundreds of Billions of ££££££'s and tons of food to foreign countries!
They call Old Age Security and Healthcare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
GREAT BRITAIN: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, hospitals being closed, average income families who can't afford dental care, elderly going without 'needed' med's and having to travel 100's of miles for medical care with no reimbursement of cost, vehicles we can't afford fuel for, lack of affordable housing, and mentally ill without treatment - etc., etc.
YET.....
They have a 'benefit' for the people of foreign countries...ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors, and medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.
Sad isn't it?
99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did.

Stan,
I hate to be the bearer of more bad news mate, But wait until the welfare and pensions become {UNIVERSAL BENEFIT} Later this year everyone pensioners included are in for a means test and have been duped again by this Tory led government, We all fall under the new rules and if you have a nest egg put away for a rainy day. Use your loaf mate if you don't want to spend it , Put it in a trust fund for {YOURSELF} And pay yourself so much a year. I am in the process of doing it myself i was advised by a staunch Tory voter ?? Regards all Terry.

Hi Terry
I don't think our "Old age pension" will be means tested ( I bloody hope not ) just other benifits as such.

Universal Credit
Seems to me that there is some confusion here. Universal Benefit is the incorrect name for Universal Credit. Universal Credit when it starts in April is in no way connected to Pensions or Pension Credits.
The benefits that will be replaced are:
- the means tested part of Jobseeker’s Allowance
- the means tested part of Employment and Support Allowance
- Income Support
- Child Tax Credits
- Working Tax Credits
- Housing Benefit (Rent element only)
The following benefits will not be replaced by Universal Credit and will continue:
- the part Jobseeker’s Allowance that is made up from the contributions you have paid
- the part of Employment and Support Allowance that is made up from the contributions you have paid
- Child Benefit
- Pension Credit
- Carers’ Allowance
- Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
Disability Living Allowance will be replaced by Personal Independence Payment in 2013.
There is pleanty of information on the various Government websites relating to Universal Credit.

i had a visitor from the bedroom tax even the interviewer did not know how it works? i have had a email of my local mp assuring me that its got nothing to do with the 500.000 immigrants coming in with big families so if we live in areas with houses with 3 bedrooms or more it will create ghettos of immigrants? i told him i have kept the email on record? i told the interviewer that although i live in a three bedroom house me and the wife have to sleep in separate bedrooms she told us it does not matter so i asked on April 1st i want to give up this house and i want 2 1 bedroom houses next door to each other in my area{not that there is a chance} because i will not pay the tax and am willing to go to prison if necessary why should you live in a house for 34 years to be turned out by a law that will not work? imagine giving a drug addict one benefit to pay rent council tax and bedroom tax it will all go up their arm in one weekend its a total shambles.
