Default Ideas to rally opposition to new tax rules?

I am seeing my local Labour MP.
I have contacted 2 news papers (neither seem interested).
I am joining Leech and Cos group ins scheme if they decide to set it up. I think the charges are $99 for a single person and $155 for a couple. This will pay for otherwise expensive litigation up to a certain point as and when there is a legal battle..so I understand.
I have complained to my QROP provider and asked them what they have done.
I have put in a submission objecting the thing.
What else can we do?
Some or many of us will have huge bills to pay from what was supposed to be a nest egg for our future.
How bad a taste does this leave in our mouths?

Not really Col TBH . Unless you are also dumped in this boat of course. At 58 this is a really huge deal to me.

How is your pension plan for your old age?

Good news on that front for you then. Not sure why have you such a downer on those of us that will be effected by the retrospective aspect of this new taxation proposal. Perhaps best not to read the stuff if it makes you feel tetchy.

For my part, I have no choice. I have to read, understand fully and then make some rather important decisions which will effect my provision for my adage. You just perhaps be glad that you don't walk in my shoes, at my age, when it comes to this.
Or perhaps even wish me well.

Bevs, I have no interest what so ever in other peoples plans for the future.
Things are what they are, fair or not, we all win and lose somewhere but I
have very little tolerance for those who ram their crap endlessly down others throats.
There are people out there who literally have nothing, I'm more concerned for them than
some whinging greedy ex cop
Will I have a big pile when I retire...No
Do I need a big pile when I retire...No
Am I worried about it...No

Hi Col, how are you? Angry obviously, well you sound angry anyway. Sorry I have not been able to reply to all your insults earlier. Why on earth don't you do yourself a favour and strike me off using the 'ignore' list or simply ignore me (like I ignore your insults)? You are going to do yourself an injury if I carry on irritating you the way I have of late!! Wishing you well. Dom.
