  @64Freeflyer, Thank you and you are right. But British pensioners are as divided as the British, if this was happening on the continent there would be riots, but this is Britain, the most laid back, pretentious, and politically ignorant and naive race on this planent next to the Americans

About this user

Hello, Im a campaigner for British Seniors full state pension rights, because since the 80's UK state pensions have been allowed to dwindle in value due to former Tory government pensions policy in 1980, almost 30 years ago, it is a tragedy that New Labour have continued the policies of the former Tory government.

As a result of this pensions policy, 1 in 5, from a 12 million elderly generation live in poverty, with many deaths among elderly people because they cannot afford to "eat", and "heat" their homes.

None of this hardly ever makes the British TV media, it is all being swepped under the carpet by them.

Im Michael Thompson, ive been campaigning for British Seniors for 20 years, If you want to contact me on this issue re- wanting to help, please send an e.mail to me at the following address, michaelthompson533@btinternet.com

Rember what's happening to UK pensioners today is going to happen to you young people too, when you are old.

One last thing. The British Government are phasing the State pension out as the cornerstone of retirement in favour of the private pension, so young people are heading for equal disaster in their old age in Britain's low waged, short term, insecure workforce, if things do not change for the better soon.

I look forward to hearing from anybody sincerely concerned about Britain's elderly people.

Thank you.
