Stop Pension Freezing

Pay the same pension to expatriates as to those who live in the UK or Europe

Why is this important?

It is important because the existing practice is unfair, dishonest and discriminatory all of which are un-British. It often results in pensioners who have gone to live with their families in countries like Canada or Australia having to sponge on their children or return to a lonely life in the UK where, of course, they become a burden on the NHS.
The exclusion of British pensioners in most countries from receiving their rightful pension is irrational.
Pension freezing means that after twenty years a pensioner is getting less than half of his or her entitlement. Our Government claims to be fair and honest but it seems to be unfair and dishonest. If we all pay the same compulsory contributions we should all get the same pension.

How it will be delivered

Not sure. Depends on response. Probably send by email.
