New ePetition against the British Government's Frozen Pension Policy
Hi All
I would like to refer you to a new ePetition against the British Government's Frozen Pension Policy. If we can get 100,000 signatures from British residents or British Citizens, we can get a debate on the issue in the House of Commons.
http://bit.ly/BritPensions
END THE UNFAIR FROZEN OVERSEAS PENSION POLICY
Under regulation 3 of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Regulations British pensioners who retire to any one of over 120 countries, mainly in the Commonwealth, have their rightful state pension frozen. Meanwhile, those who retire to other countries have their pension uprated annually, just as though they never left the UK. This discriminatory policy currently impacts on the lives of over half a million British pensioners and curtails the freedom of choice of all British pensioners in retirement. We call for this Government to heed the plea of the International Consortium of British Pensioners to repeal this Regulation.
If you live outside of the UK, you can use the drop down menu to choose the country you live in, I think preferably before putting in your postcode.

Moved this one because it seems he's only joined to post the petition and it's something that's already on BE anyway. Left the redirect though, doh!!
