Nothing in Budget for 520,000 ex-pat pensioners

22/03/2007

The Budget may have helped the 125,000 private pensioners in the UK. But there is still not a word from Brown concerning the fundamental changes urgently needed for approximately half a million expat British pensioners, many of whom live in Commonwealth countries, and who are making no extra demands upon his purse for those other pensioner "benefits" enjoyed by those living in the UK.

 

The entire British Government should bow their collective heads in shame of their clearly discriminatory actions.
