THE BUDGET
Remember, we are all in this together, this big society....!!!! another one bites the dust.
Oh, come on be fair, we have all invited someone up for dinner in return for £250,000....!!!!
But seriously, what do you think of the budget?. Pensioners stuffed again. The GRANNY TAX. You can't trust Labour and you can't trust the Conservatives. Rob the poor to ease the rich. As usual, those who live in Ivory Towers are unaffected by their own rules. Can you see the Prime Minister and his cronies trying to get by on a state pension. They ought to be ashamed. Those who have done everything right in their lives, worked hard, saved and lived by the rules, not been a blight on society, just end up getting a good old kick in the teeth.
What an affront to pensioners that the over 65's allowances are frozen to the extent we are informed by the tv pundits a large number of pensioners are £259 a year worse off.
Odd how the Chancellor arranged his words to say there would be no alteration to the policy for petrol duty. Another words it was going up by another 3p. Which means everything will be increased again.
Oh we forgot, there is a a pension increase of about a fiver a week, about the cost of a magazine. Never mind, that should cover the cost of increases in petrol, transport, food, clothing, gas, electric, water, sewage and numerous other items.
So who are pensioners going to vote for next time? Please do not be sucked in again, do not vote Labour or Conservative, better the devil you don't know now. You have just got yet another kicking.
Remember you only have yourselves to blame if you vote for either of these two parties. You are being consistently stitched up with eroding pensions, no interest on your savings, higher cost of living, and no way of making up any shortfalls because you are virtually unemployable or no one wants you. As for care in the community and the necessity for being in a care home when your time comes, at about £2500 a month.... that's just another joke.
But for those of you who will be still alive on the 7th May 2015, the next general election, subject it going the full distance, you have one thing they all want, and that is your VOTE. Wake up and smell the coffee, come the next election as usual they will promise you the world prior and deliver nothing after the election.
Nothing changes in this world, or this country, give with one hand take with the other............
Perhaps one sunny day this summer the pensioners and those approaching their time should march and hold a rally around Parliament Square or the Olympics and try to shame the unfeeling selfish individuals who need our vote prior to an election but stomp all over us once they are in power????????
Want to see another piece of age related anomaly - Allowances cap reduction for over 65's. For example, year 2011 to 2012, the personal allowance
for ages 65 to 74 is £9940. Over £24,000 income, the age related allowance is reduced by £1 for £2 of income above that limit. Whereas if you are under 65 although the allowance is £7475, you are allowed to earn £100,000 before a similar reduction takes place. So for 65 to 74 years of age, if you earn say £2930 over the £24,000 then your allowance is reduced to £7475. Someone please explain the logic?.
The Pensioners Party is registered in England (RRP 4301204) and is independent of all other parties. It has no affiliations or support for any other political party whatsoever. All informaion can be found on the Electoral Commission web site at www.electoralcommission.org.uk
