BRITAIN’S company pension schemes face a massive black hole of at least £75billion with workers living longer after retirement.


Well Gordom Moron Brown you are already setting the wheels in motion to kill off these people that are living longer as you say
by allowing them to die from hypothermia,lack of care. to starve, and rob them of all that is life sustaining while you are lining your own pockets. Imust say that you are also very good at it. You make Fagan look very amateurish
I now understand the beatles song from 60s
"Can you see the big fat piggies standing in the road"
They must have knew then what the crooks of this world would do to all vunerable in this point in time. They certainly knew you very well.

GORDON BROWN DOES NOT CARE

19.02.08, 8:25am


Robber Brown is living for today with no thought to the future. After all, as we all know, his days in power are seriously numbered so why should he care what happens when he has gone? Having mortgaged the country up to the hilt, sold off the Crown Jewels (goid reserves) and robbed our pension funds Robber Brown's spend now, pay later policies are going to be the ruin of our country. When Nu Labour eventually loses the next election ( as it will) we must not fall for them blaming any incoming government for the economic chaos that Nu Labour will have left in its wake. Nu Labour has been an economic disaster. We should all remember that when we have a chance to vote in May. Let's vote Nu Labour to oblivion.

A geriatric home is your worst nightmare !

Stay young and healthy.

I am hoping euthanasia has been legalised by the time I am back in nappies !

PENSION BLACKHOLE

19.02.08, 8:16am

Have to agree with PookiePaul, Life expectancy will decrease not increase, due to all of the excesses of life since WW2. Overeating/Drinking and all the additives in food.

They just want to get hold of our money. Let's face it if you retire at 65 and your dead by 70 the pension companies retain any money left in your retirement pot, so the more they can get you to pay in the better it is for them.

I'm all for voluntary euthanasia, when I can no longer wipe my bum, I want out.
I don't want to have to go into home of any sort, I just want to have the choice to die. Have you ever been into a geriatric ward at the hospital, they are keeping vegetables alive, not for me.

GORDON - AND PENSIONS

19.02.08, 7:44am

The way GB tampered with pension schemes is now coming home to roost. He will blame anyone but himself. The change in the way investments were taxed gave him money (to give to the Chinese etc on global schemes), and took money from the very people who had - from their own earnings, put aside for their retirement.
He was too dim to see that this means that more people will now come into the benefits schemes as their income is lower.
Look at his sullen face.
This man cares for no-one but himself and his cronies.

THATS NOTHING ...JUST WAIT !!!!!

Wait til he has finished "tinkering" with the State Pension. Thats a disaster waiting to befall us all, mark my words!!!!!
But, all this about "us" living longer is a bit of a red herring methinks. With all the crap put into the foods these days the life expectancy in this country will PLUMMET. Again ..Mark My Words !!!!

Gorden Brown has the face of failure, If he did not give our money away to everyone, except the British people, we should not be in Dept to anyone.

PENSIONS IN BLACK HOLE.

19.02.08, 3:56am

You can bet that the Politicians have their 'small' pension secure and damn the rest of the country and its pensioners. My pension is being eaten away in real value compared when I first recieved it 26 years ago.
