Expansion

Article needs some stuff about the "take it away from rich pensioners" campaigns, and the "offer to give it back" talk, and this has interesting stuff about overseas pensioners, now and in 2015. No time to do more on it now. PamD 23:42, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial?

@Smartse, please elaborate on your edit summary here. What do you mean by 'trivial'? How often do we see a comparison with the policy of a first-world democratic government successfully used as mitigation for a theft? It has been covered in mainstream news media such as The Times and The Telegraph, and even by Politico covered it as did a variety of tabloids, broadcasters, and local press. I suggest it is significant enough for inclusion. -- DeFacto (talk). 20:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
