Letter to Prime Minister
Read on and pass on!!
Dear Prime Minister The RT. Hon. David Cameron, MP..
I wish to ask you a Question:- "Is This True?"
I refer to the Pension Reality Check..
Are you aware of the following ?
The British Government provides the following financial assistance:-
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
(bearing in mind they worked hard and paid their Income Tax and
National Insurance contributions to the British Government all their
working life)
Weekly allowance: £106.00?
IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN
(No Income Tax and National Insurance contribution whatsoever)
Weekly allowance: £250.00
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
Weekly Spouse Allowance: £25.00?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN
Weekly Spouse Allowance: £225.00
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £0.00?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN
Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £100.00
A British old age pensioner is no less hard up than an illegal
immigrant/refugee yet receives nothing
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £6,000?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN
TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT: £29,900
Please read all and then forward to all your contacts so that we can
lobby for a decent state pension.
After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the
growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.
Sad isn't it? Surely it's about time we put our own people first.
Please have the guts to forward this.
I JUST DID!

Hi John Albert, just hilight the message, right click on it then left click on `COPY` then go onto new email and right click on blank page and then left click on `PASTE` and it is on an email, address to your MP and send.
I sent it to my MP , but she is an Immigrant from Pakistan so I dont think I will get a reply.
Cheers
Brian

or perhaps unlucky not to be in jail; in jail you get free health and dental care, no TV Licence to pay for, no food, electric, gas or water bills and no Council tax, also at this time no vote so no one can blame you for putting the silly barstewards in power

Re: Letter to Prime Minister
One of the big problems is people don't bother to vote , so the government is elected by the minority. Of the population . As much as I am opposed tho compulsory voting ,
I think did not vote no rights to moan
