So if the bank has stopped bailing us out, does that mean our pensions are fucked come Friday?

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

I think that we are in the final hours of the most corrupt government this country has ever had.




Come Friday this country will implode.

Mogg on Radio 4 laying responsibility firmly with the BofE’s monetary policy, the BofE laying responsibility firmly with the Governmen’s fiscal policy. Friday will be ‘interesting’ to say the least.

Is there any point in having a private pension anymore?
Work until your pratically 70, they know what they are doing by constantly putting the age up
Utter fools this lot in charge

I have been happily living off mine for the past 18 months - there is plenty of point only issue is you don't realise that when you are 18 years old

Just come off the phone to a family member, ex Bank Of England, who is a Director in one of the major investment banks. He's absolutely in shock. Says he's not sleeping. He can't believe what is going on.

He said when they announced the 45p tax cut last week, it applied to almost every single one of them and their clients, yet everyone was running around in horror saying "we don't want this". He's been there, done that and bought the t-shirt and certainly been a Tory man all his life, yet he's firmly of the opinion that Brexit opened the door to a mixture of lunatics and their enabling lickspittles who took over the party and are now totally winging it and are in serious danger of destroying the whole country for a generation. He couldn't understate the enormous significance of the B of E and IMF being at war with the government and says the only way out is a general election.

For him to accept a Labour government as the only solution shows what a mess we are in,

I have a private one with the Royal London, I am 47 and have another 20 years before I get the state pension, maybe longer. I know I can draw down on the private one from 55 but to be asking people to work until there more or less 70 in my opinion is an absolute disgrace and I can understand people who don't bother with pensions at all.
Work until you drop, the goverment know what they are doing.
