    Personal information such as tax ID numbers, and addresses should NOT be made public. It is unsafe. Period.

    And I am american and do not have to publish mine for public perusal, and if they are required (such as politiicians) information such as SS numbers and addresses are redacted.

    Is that not what happens now with MP expenses they redact information that they do not want the public to see. .....

    this really has nothing to do with the age related allowance. If you have a greivance agaonst MPs I am sure there is a thread for it somewhere.

    You brought up Sweden as 'perfect' I say it isn't. So back to the OP.

    you didn't say perfect, which is why I have it in 'quotes'. You implied their system is better, which I beleive isn't so gave a case in fact to prove my point.

    Now I suggest you get over it and get back to the OP. Please.

    Then why are you posting such rubbish. I did not imply the system is better I only said that I had seen it on the BBC. Read people posts before you post allegations please

    Also, why are you on here as you do not want to sign the e-petition and your
    wonderful contribution was what pensioners get should only go to the needy?

    anywhay why are you so opposed to people not posting their tax returns have you got something to hide. Also you can suggest what you like, but I will get back to whatever I want to and do not need you to tell what to do.

    I know I am feeding a troll here.

    I can post anywhere I like, and was reading to see what people were saying. And I am not the only one not signing up, but was interested in what people have to say on the subject as it is an important one.

    But having read a few of your posts, don't guess the quality of intellect is high enough here to entertain lol.

    Carry on as you were...................................................................

    So it is fizzling out and might in 6 months or so get close to 75000.

    It grew by 3000/day end of March, 1000/day by 9th April and now 600 a day (12th April).

    Is that a good result I wonder?

    Now 240 a day, seems to be running out of steam.

    As far as I am aware the EU countries pay far more to pensioners by way of state pensions and other benefits then UK.

    The future is still unfolding. What is now is rapidly becoming unaffordable tomorrow. The issue is one going forward.
