This is important to anybody who hopes, one day to become a senior citizen.
Millions of UK senior citizens &
over 50s are living in poverty, because their pensions are not enough
to house them, heat them, feed them and clothe them, let alone provide
a little leisure spending.
This is a problem we will all face sooner or later if we are lucky.
Help us now to put pressure on the government to provide a pension for
senior citizens that will allow them to live in the comfort that their
years of hard work and payment of taxes gives them the right to expect.
You can help this and future generations of senior citizens by signing
the petition to the Prime Minister asking for a just pension for senior
citizens.
To sign the petition follow the lin

Your petition reads:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Increase
state pensions to £250 a week for all UK single pensioners.
Increase State Pensions to £250 a week for all UK single
pensioners, with a relevant increase for couples, this is
easily affordable by abolishing the excessivelly costly means
test system this is demeaning and intrusive to the elderly.
Plus the government are sitting on an NI "surplus" of 40
billion, which is expected to increase to 74.1 billion by 2012.
We also request that the Prime Minister abolishes Council Tax,
because all British pensioners have spent their entire working
lives paying income tax, and N.I. contributions into the
system.
Thanks for submitting your petition
