On the contrary, Mummiboo. I wholeheartedly agree. In my opinion it is the pen-pushers who should be at the back of the queue when it comes to pay and pensions, along with those who think that they have some sort of divine right to decide how I should live my life. As well as the idiots in Parliament and County and Town Halls across the country, who, if it were not for folk like your dad, would have to sit and spout their nonsense in the open air.
My father fought for King and Empire in the jungles of Burma during WWII, which ruined his health. But he continued to work and pay Tax and NI despite that. He was not permitted to claim anything in disability benefits despite being afflicted with severe angina. It galled him to see wave after wave of immigrants come into the country and turn up at the DSS to claim benefits which were denied him and a pension he knew he would not live to enjoy. He lived just two months into his sixty fifth year.
