Prat of the Week - Michael George Bichard, Baron Bichard, KCB, This week it goes to the hugely smug Lord Bichard, who is a former benefits chief and sits on a quango looking at demographic changes and their impact on public services.
He has said that retired people should do community work or face losing part of their pension so as not to be a burden on the state.
Firstly, the moron should know that pensioners have paid in for their pensions in good faith, having been told that National Insurance would give them a good pension. People have contributed for their pensions and it is their pension. It is not for the government to use as a carrot or a stick. During good times, the government should have built up a pension reserve rather than used pension funds for funding vanity projects like the millennium dome so that state pensions were not the giant Ponzi scheme they are now.

Lord Bichard also needs reminding that community service is a judicial sanction judges can give criminals. Is being a pensioner therefore, going to be a criminal act in his brave new world?
And it appears that his lordship is setting a perfect example, as at the ripe old age of 54 he retired from theCivil Service in May 2001 with a pension of £120,000 p.a!

Lord Bichard - well deserving Prat of the Week!:mad:
 
unfortunately being old or sick is not something anyone ever wants to be in this country...unless you are Ronnie Biggs

the actual paying in for 50 years seems to entitle people to less..whereas paying f00k all in entitles you to everything

no wonder older people are leaving this country in droves if they can afford it
 
Prat of the week? best excuse I've heard in years to bring back hanging.

not to be a burden on the state?

The minute they opened to flood gates to would be British Citizens from India, Pakistan and every other friggin country who had nothing to offer that was beneficial to the UK they were fooked
Once they found out how easy it was to get into the country and heard about unemployment benefits, housing benefits, sickness benefits etc they came in their droves and ripped the ar$e out of the sytsem that was incidentally already being abused by too many people that were actually UK born and bred.

Now those born and bred there of born and bred parents and grandparent are suffering because of the snobbery and aloofness of the Great British Empire....great my backside countries a disaster and a walking time bomb
