Re: Can someone tell me please!
I don't think Clegg could get any sillier than he is at the moment. Does'nt have a single sensible policy to speak of. Sugar, Stringfellow, et.al. , would rather be dead, than seen on a bus. His p***taking video just about sums him up, a "sorry" mess indeed.Re: Can someone tell me please!
I doubt whether Alan Sugar or Pete Stringfellow applied for bus passes and I also doubt whether Clegg would have even checked who has one and who hasn't anyway. If this is so and the pass isn't taken advantage of, then obviously it costs the country nothing.Re: Can someone tell me please!

If there is no pot where do pension payments come from then. The answer is there must be a pot so bus passes can come from the same source as pensions which we have paid for with our NI contributions. In fact because I have not yet reached state pension age I can go onto a site which gives me the date I will be eligible and also includes the bus pass so they are linked and there is a pot.Re: Can someone tell me please!
Re: Can someone tell me please!
Call it what you like if you pay in you are entitled to a pension and a bus pass end of story. If not I want all my NI contributions refunded. I have never recieved a penny in any sort of benefit but I am entitled to my pension and bus pass because of what I have paid into during the years.Re: Can someone tell me please!
That is the way it is Doglover. Private pensions where you draw an anuity (or sometimes still have a final salary scheme privately) are a different thing, because there is a "pot" built up by an individual there and it is managed by private organisations who take a gamble on how long people will live after drawing their private pensions - they make a profit out of the private pension schemes (at least that's the intention and they move the goalposts accordingly).
