Pension – THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

Sixty-One On £85k — Britain Grafts To 67

Sir Robert Devereux: retired at 61 on £85k a year — while the rest of Britain is told to keep grafting till 67. I started paying in expecting my pension at 60, then it was pushed to 65, then shoved again to 67 — years of pension gone, millions short‑changed, and the very people whoContinue reading “Sixty-One On £85k — Britain Grafts To 67”

Built The Country. Left With Scraps

The State Pension is not enough to live on, and the people who built this country are being asked to survive on an income that doesn’t match the reality of rent, heating, food, or bills. My anger isn’t just justified — it’s the logical response to a system that has stopped honouring its own promises.Continue reading “Built The Country. Left With Scraps”

Freeview ‘Turn Off Date’ Statement

The government has not given a “turn‑off date” for Freeview. Still, the latest official news and parliamentary updates show the earliest possible switch‑off would be sometime in the 2030s, with 2034–2035 being the key window under review — and even that is not guaranteed.

ROLL UP, ROLL UP!

I’ve never actually been a lover of Katie Hopkins, up until now! However, after seeing this video today, I became a great admirer, and I now believe that we need more people like Katie running our country because she says it how it is. The situation in the UK is alarming, yet the migrants willContinue reading “ROLL UP, ROLL UP!”

PARLIAMENT AND STATE PENSION

The British State Pension is far too low, we all know that. It needs to increase and be put back to anyone aged 60. If the Government put pensions up to £380 a week, it should lift thousands out of deprivation and give our senior folk more spending power and help boost the economy. However,Continue reading “PARLIAMENT AND STATE PENSION”
