Is this true or is it a wind up?

Subject: FW: State Pension

How come if you can receive benefits up to £26,000 and you don't pay
tax on it, why do you have to pay tax after £10,000 when you go out to
work for it??

Dear Prime Minister

I wish to ask you a Question:-  "Is This True?"
I refer to the Pension Reality Check.
Are you aware of the following?

  The British Government provides the following financial assistance:-

 BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
(Bearing in mind they worked hard and paid their Income Tax and
National Insurance contributions to the British Government all their
working life) 

Weekly allowance: £106.00?    

  IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN
(No Income Tax and National Insurance contribution whatsoever)

Weekly allowance: £250.00

  BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER  
Weekly Spouse Allowance:£25.00?

ILLEGAL  IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN  
Weekly Spouse Allowance:£225.00

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER 
Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £0.00?  

ILLEGAL  IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN   
Additional Weekly Hardship Allowance: £100.00

A  British old age pensioner is no less hard up than an illegal
immigrant/refugee yet receives nothing.

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER - TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £6,000

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN - TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT:
£29,900

After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the
growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.
Sad isn't it? Surely it's about time we put our own people first.      

PLUS THEY CAN WALK INTO ANY HEALTH CENTRE AND GET FREE CARE AND
MEDICINES AT NO COST.

  Being part of Europe:

• Makes our economy stronger
• Helps British businesses large and small
• Creates jobs for British people, and
  Half of everything we sell to the rest of the world we sell to Europe
  The CBI estimates that 3 million jobs in Britain are linked to trade with the rest of Europe
  ARE THEY RIGHT?

• UK Trade – 2014
  (£ Billions)
  Exports
• UK Trade – 2014
  (£ Billions)
  Imports
• UK Trade Balance – 2014
  (£ Billions)
  Huge Deficit With EU
  Surplus With Rest of World
• Summary
• Huge Trade Deficit with EU - £62 billion
• Nearly Double Total Deficit - £35 billion
• Rest of World – Trade Surplus £27 billion
  What Does That Mean For Jobs?

• Trade & Jobs
• If Exports Create Jobs In UK – We Make Stuff
• Imports Create Jobs Overseas – We Buy Stuff
• So Imports Cost UK Jobs
• UK Trade & Jobs
  
  Deficit With EU Costs UK Jobs
  Surplus With Rest of World Creates UK Jobs
• Conclusion - Trade With EU
  Costs UK Jobs
  Creates EU Jobs

• More Jobs in EU Dependant on Trade with UK

  In Campaign are Wrong About Trade & Jobs

Migrant Tax Credits and the Law

  SIR - Donald Tusk, the European Council president, is absolutely right if he raises concerns that "to bar EU migrants from claiming tax credits of four years is illegal", (report December 7), because that is the central point.

In a democracy when existing legislation causes problems the Government can change the law and if they don't we, the electorate, have the option to vote in a new government at the next election to make the changes we seek.

The European Union is not designed to work in that way; the electorate cannot vote for change because we do not elect the Commission which makes, (but rarely repeals), all EU laws.

Within two years we will have a referendum when UK voters will have a rare opportunity to exercise their democratic right to accept all present and future EU legislation or to restore our democratic right to vote for new governments to change the way we are ruled.

In the meantime we will see whether the EU addresses the policies that the UK Government would like to see changed?
