UK pensions are the measliest in Europe
The state pension is worse in Britain than in any other European country, according to a report yesterday.
Countries such as Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia were all said to give their pensioners a better deal.

There's a surprise, why don't we all go there and give up England to them , then we can make another England there....well I know what I mean.

No we wouldn't be in dire straights because there wouldn't be so many people to do things for, health, etc. Our own people would do the work that they used to do before the world came here, we would have more money because there would be less people to share it amongst and it would be worthwhile the kids getting trained for jobs because they would be able to do them, as it is now, there's not much point, degrees are 10 a penny, and you can't get work if you have one, too many people chasing jobs or over qualified. A choice of work would be an option not take what you can and as Rosie so rightly pointed out, they've always known about this and still they let more folk into the UK without doing anything.

   Yes it could work like that, what is stopping it? the simplest way is always the best, I'm sure politicians make things difficult on purpose.

Oh don't worry leave it to the youngsters they know every thing any way ?

Hi, Im Michael, I was 59 on April 10th, and have been a campaigner for UK pensioners full state pension right for 19 years.

UK state pensions are the meanest in Europe, because Europe revere their elderly people, we do not.

Europe's much higher state pensions are funded through the use of much more of Europe's Gross National Product, ie 12 per cent compared to our 5 per cent.

There is a petition for UK state pensions to be brought in line with Europe, on the Downing Street web site, it was put there by Christine Abram, who is a Link-Age/Countrywide supporter, an apolitical pensions pressure group I founded in 2000, we have no membership fee and have UK wide support.

The petition is up for one year and needs all the support it can get, so I urge all who sign it to please tell their friends and family.  The petition is headed, "Abolish means testing for pensioners" by Christine Abram, and I urge people to sign this petition, it is up for one year.

If anybody wants to contact me, they can e.mail me direct, at, michaelthompsonmcgill@hotmail.co.uk
and following all e.mails I will attach further information on Link-Age/countrywide, and the pensioners issue.

If enough people sign this petition it is hoped that this will force the government and the media to take notice.

Regards
Michael

Hello Michael, It is a very black picture that you portray to The People, one so many of us are totally aware of, going on for so many years, 'Shouting' and Not being Heard!! -- Petitions, being sighned and possibly ignored.
I am 76 years young and each 5 year period gets worse and worse. Politicions, are just Not Interested in Senior Citizens, except to make 'False' Promices!!
This is The Only Country, known to Man, that Totally Ignores it's Senior Citizens and Hopes 'They' will go away!!
So much for 'Equality' since 1972 when ALL, E.E.Countries should and would be Equal?? -- I cannot forsee any change, in the Future!! Only that next April, our pension 'Purchasing Power' will Go Down, Yet Again!!

Hello Michael, Yes. I will sign the petition although I personally doubt if any real Issue will evolve from it:

There are 11 million senior citizens, in this country !!  An overwelming Majority -- But as we now are 'forced' to accept, the minorities always wins: -- Having played my part, I have now given up as a 'lost cause' = Too many years, banging one's head against a brick wall: Demostrations and Conferences have only been -- Ignored!!
How can The Senior's, really be taken Seriously??
 I Wish All Senior Citizens, Well!!

Hello Michael, I have sent 'Your Post' to all friends and trust they will sign!!
Britain, is now a Divided nation, By Deliberation!! (The Main 'Thought' is 'foot the ball')-- I can't stand the game:

Ever since 'Common Sense' Died ?? A state of 'apathy' has arisen?? -- There is as you say, No respect and No Disapline, only for the want of more money??
It was not so long ago, that the MPs. gave themselves?? a 25% increase in Their Pensions. Plus £100 per week to help 'Them' Communicate, with their -- Constiuents??
Why should 'They' Bother with the likes of US??

Can You Really See, Any Change Coming, To Benifit The People?? -- I wish, Could it be Possible??
