No Bloody Wonder that the Country is Skint!

I received an EMail from a friend in Australia today which I have copied as it is a shocker. So if you have always voted Labour because your parents did now you know what they did with your money! If you ever believed Gorgon Brown when he talked about fairness in our society now you know what he meant!I really believe that the Coalition should address this imbalance immediately and I mean NOW! Here we go...

Let me see if I understand all this .........

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.
IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.
IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU GET SHOT.
IF YOU CROSS THE SAUDI ARABIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE JAILED.
IF YOU CROSS THE CHINESE BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU MAY NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN.
IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.
IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.

IF YOU CROSS THE BRITISH BOARDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET A JOB, A DRIVERS LICENSE, PENSION CARD, WELFARE, CREDIT CARDS, SUBSIDISED RENT OR A LOAN TO BUY A HOUSE, FREE EDUCATION AND FREE HEALTH CARE.

Are you aware of the following?

The British Govenment provides the following financial assistance: -

A comparison between the British pensioner who generally has paid into the system all their working lives and what an illegal immigrant can receieve.

BRITISH AGED PENSIONER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN

Weekly allowance

£100 £250

Weekly Spouse allowance

£25 £225

Additional weekly hardship allowance

£0:00 £100

TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT

£6,000 £29,900

If I was a refugee, why would I look for work?

Please forward to all your contacts so that we can lobby for an increase in the aged pension.

After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.


We have just had an election campaign which lasted for weeks and never once did I hear any of them revealing this shocking discrepancy. These figures may or may not be accurate but I think we pensioners should be owed an explanation. This has of course often been exposed in some by the mainstream media but the actual figures are hard to comprehend.

I just hope that Iain Duncan-Smith has these people firmly on his horizon. It is utterly shocking that any government should treat its own pensioners in this way and once again demonstrates that Brown and his cabinet should be answering to a court of law.
