    You come across as a faux intellectual, but you can't even back up your fakery. You have been proven to lie already so you should probably just back away quietly and stick to stuff you actually know about.
    listen Einstein you asked which countries do NOT tax pensions not ones which do! is that so hard to understand? seems it is....
    Don’t argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    irrelevant to what? you asked which countries dont tax pensions and there are some of the ones which don't. possibly too complex for someone so stupid to be relying on a state pension scheme in their retirement that's for sure.

    Where does it state I am relying on a state pension scheme numb nuts? I have two final salary index linked government pension schemes in payment already. When I reach state retirement age I will also receive a state pension.
    You are probably another dumb seppo with a high opinion of himself. You clearly have zero knowledge of other countries tax and pension schemes and limited knowledge of your own. If your not American then you are trying too hard and failing.

    So far It has been established that you lie, you don't listen, and you can't read. You have no understanding of UK tax and pensions, or Scottish devolution/independence and EU accession.

    I meant in your assumptions about me. Interpretation of language is evidently not your strong suit is it?

    Why would you want to be enlightened by someone you believe possessed the aforementioned qualities? You sound so bitter having been fucked up the ass by the UK govt while you lived there and still continue to receive a good rogering even though you have left. Well that does happen to people who lack the foresight to make alternative arrangements. You sound like the classic public sector whiner who never had the balls to stop suckling on the nanny states teat.

    IME the opposite is true. If you have any kind of income then you pay tax on it. In the case of a pension, you have earned it through taxable income. When the pension is paid, it's taxed again.
    Do you have a list of these countries who don't tax pension income?
    How can you accuse me of not knowing about tax and pensions when the basic concept of tax relief on pension contributions has seemingly evaded you all these years?

    It is so difficult to explain things to nutters like you who have no knowledge of the matters you spout about. Go back to reading the Daily Mail. I'm probably giving you too much credit for being able to even read it.
    You have ignored or failed to read or understand any of the posts where I have taken the trouble to explain my personal circumstances. This has led to yet another epic fail in your understanding.
    No surprise there then.
    My finances are just fine as is my relationship with the UK. If at any point in the future I need to work, I can do f I so choose. You will struggle enormously unless you can afford your own sweeping brush.
    Please do everyone a favour and stop posting worthless opinions all over the site, and failing to back up your ridiculous commentary gleaned from reading the Beano.
    You are a waste of time and space on here, and more than likely a waste of a good skin in real life. Tosser.

    maybe you find it difficult because you have no fukcing clue what you are talking about. why do you think everything revolves around your own personal circumstances? thats where the failure is if anywhere. Get back to the classroom mate, at least you will be with your intellectual equals there.

    you seem to have great difficulty distinguishing between reality and your own personal universe.

    The Union movement in the US must operate differently than in Australia as Ive read a similar post regarding the Union Movement in America.

    The Union movement's key aim is to provide decent wages and a safe working environment for the working man. Without a Union the worker is fair game to unscrupulous employers who will exploit the worker and bleed them dry providing substandard wages and dangerous working conditions.

    This can be observed on every working site in Asia and any first world factory or construction site where there is no union.

    Long live the Union Movement without it the worker is foked.

    United we stand divided we fall.

    so you are saying every factory or construction site provides "substandard wages and dangerous working conditions" unless there is a Union there?

    Hi ENT , love ya mate and how quick you are to reply considering I've been not posting.

    But you my friend bemoan the Union Movement, dodge weave and crawl under a rock whenever the subject of workers rights is mentioned and the right to a fair wage for the working man is breached.

    Without a strong Union the game is over, the worker is layed off if he is sick or injured and discarded like rubbish.

    I'm referring to the unskilled worker mainly as he is replaceable in the wink of an eye but also the skilled workers rights would be reduced without a formidable union to keep employers honest.

    You ENT should support the workers who have provided you with the comforts of a civilized society by building roads and public services.

    Suppose your Government pension don't count EH

    No but I reckon 70% would be a fair guesstimate. Take a walk around any major building site in Thailand or Asia and you will see the workers in decent safety gear but go to a smaller site its thongs and sun glasses for prevention against welding burns.

    No proper safety equipment and no union to protect them so what do they have. ?

    They have fok all except a boss who will replace them in a heart beat.

    No union equals slave labor for the unskilled punter and the skilled if workers are available.

    Just the way it is and you can never get around it unless your name is ENT.

    Eh ENT.

    The union gave me sod all and I was never in the union.
    It was my taxes that paid for the roads and public services you're crying on about, not the unions.
    All the unions ever did was to bludge off the workers.

    Not read the news lately Terry?

    Union membership is down to 18% now in Oz as infighting increases over the rights of executive members to lord it like stuffed pimps over the sheeple rank and file.

    Corruption is the name of the union game, and the bit about being "all for one and one for all" is just a laugh.

    Read this bit;
    Divisions erupt over union's purchase of luxury mansion

    Date September 28, 2012

    Statement in style ... the Oyster Bay home Allen Hicks is said to be leasing from the ETU. Photo: Peter Rae

    WITH five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a butler's pantry and a ''luxurious'' in-ground pool, it is anything but a house for a battler.
    But the $1,125,000 pad in Oyster Bay, Sydney, was bought with union money to house Allen Hicks, the assistant national secretary at the Electrical Trades Union, one of Australia's biggest blue collar unions.
    The use of the union money to buy the house - which includes a French provincial kitchen and a spa bath - is the latest controversy to embroil the union movement after the Health Services Union scandals.

    Yes I agree full on that its foked up and I hope that some bastard assassinates the fat greedy fuk.

    Its stories like that that give people like you mileage to denigrate the Union movement as a whole but to an intelligent person he or she would be able to rationalize that there are some corrupt bastards in every walk of society whether it be the Union movement or the dude working in Disneyland.

    The ideology of the Union movement is pure and simple and that is for the working man to recieve a decent wage for his work and to be protected in the event of a accident in the work place.

    The example you give above is disappointing but not revelevant to the cause much the same as Lance Armstrong and doping in cycling.

    Keep it real ENT and stop bringing up pathetic incidents of corruption.

    Anyway if your up for it we will go put a cap in that bastards arse, not Lance but that Other fuk.

    What bare ya on about with "pathetic incidents of infighting"?
    Union corruption's been a headache for the worers ever since the 1960s.

    Why d'ya think workers are turning against the unions in droves?
    Once there was hardly a no-union member in the Aus PO, but that changed after Bob Hawk made hismoves into politics.
    Workers these days are keener to get into individual contracts with employers, they're better read so can figure out their own contracts and conditions of employment.
    There's also courts of arbitration that individual workers can seek justice from if employers stuff them around.
    TThe worst part of unionism was not so much the stand over tactics of forced extortion of union dues to feed the parasite "union reps", but he fact that the unions dictated who you'd vote for, Labour, or else.
    Freedom of speech on politics was nonexistent in union dominated work forces and you couldn;t get a job if tou weren't in the union.
    It was a form of silent bondage, worse than fascism because it operated right across the wok force and affected the workers' families too.
    A cheap political manipulation that kept the worker nose to the grindstone and the union reps and their politician cronies well fed out of the capitalist trough.

    Hey not to upset you but I have no respect for the Union in our home town.
    I was a boat builder for many years & there was many hard years.
    So I got into Perth city Councel & got to be a Garbo fucking good job.
    Not the money it was the hours that you work.
    You will remember this the big strike back maybe 30 years ago
    The road worker whated 38 hour week ( the Garbo did not as we did not work that may hour).
    The union told as that we have to help the road workers to get there 38 hour week.
    We all as Garbo lost our jobs the road workers kept there job

    Well get fucked to the union.
    I am now in Thailand I pay my works good money & look after them.

    Communist logic..
