//Its analysis suggests Brexit would cause inflation to rise, eroding the value of state pension increases, costing recipients £137 a year.//

Just over £2.60 a week, and worth every penny to get out imo.

[Jackdaw33]

Do what they used to do; raise pensions in line with inflation. Should't be a problem, we'll have an extra £350m per week to cover it, the amount we are paying to Brussels.

Well that photo of George Osborne certainly shows sincerity. I bet he could sell used cars.

Dave probably got his wife's second-hand car from him.

[stuey]

Who's Dave?

[Mamyalynne]

David William Donald Cameron, is a British politician who is at present the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Leader of its Conservative Party, and Member of Parliament for the Oxfordshire constituency of Witney.

[Jackdaw33]

David Cameron, premier of the UK.

[Jackdaw33]

It was reported very recently that he had bought his wife, a very rich woman, a second-hand car.

No kidding. You mean that Margaret is on holiday and has left the reins in the hands of a young whipper-snapper?

[Jackdaw33]

I am afraid that Margaret's on holiday till the end of the world, when she will resurrect and create paradise on earth.

Anyway, I think that the stayins will win simply because people don't like drastic changes in the scheme of things. I hope not, even though it doesn't affect me, because Britain is Britain, and not a mere piece in an Alice In Wonderland type jigsaw puzzle.

State Pensions increase each April by whichever is highest in the previous September, annual inflation, average earnings or 2.5% so if inflation is more than 2.5%, pensioners will benefit from it, albeit a few months after the event.

No doubt tomorrows papers will be full of some survey that if we leave the EU then all our children will disappear down the cracks in pavements.

[Jackdaw33]

Of course, Baza. And every time someone votes NO,a fairy will die.

[Old_Geezer]

Darn it JD. You've just lost the pink vote !

[waterboatman]

More 'remain' hogwash. They'll be telling us the sun will go out and the moon will explode next.

[mushroom25]

never mind brexit or bremain, the biggest risk to worker's pensions will be the government's sleight of hand in respect of tata steel's pension deficit which, whilst making tata a more attractive buy, will set a very expensive precedent for everyone else.

[Hopkirk]

If Maggie was alive, which way would she vote?

[Jackdaw33]

That's a no-brainer, Hopkirk.

[TWR]

We are doomed, the end is near, are we having a last AB Party?
