RECENTLY, Tony Blair's father in law Tony Booth, said that pensions should once again be earnings-related. The Prime Minister refuted this as being far too expensive to contemplate.
What hogwash!
£628 million thrown at a dysfunctional Dome!
£25 million a day to belong to the EU!
£30 billion in monstrous fuel taxes.
This country is awash with money, filched from us by way of the National Lottery and taxation.
Of course, pensions will be increased in some measure before the next General Election -- bribery being part and parcel of the political process.
