Are you worried about your pension?

I began work on leaving school in 1976 and put in 15 years in the pits. I have some pension due from this but the Government have raided the pension fund and stolen over 1.3 billion pounds from us. Since the pits were stolen from us by the Tories, I have worked in teaching and other professions. I have contributed to my state pension since 1976 and still am. Now I find that my state pension is being moved further away in time, to the point where I don't believe I will live to see it. MPs have allowed this while their pensions are being subsidised by our council tax. We are being treated like cattle by New Labour.
