    Nobody could have see this comming

    More than 200,000 pensioners are likely cash in their entire retirement savings next year when new pension reforms are introduced, pollsters revealed last night.
    Well the pension company lobbyist have earned their 30 pieces of silver.

    This is what we call a win win.

    when pensioners spend their cash, it could mean a windfall of up to £1.6billion in tax for the Treasury

          but have been taxed disproportionally on their private pension.

          Sensible people with a below average pension & few savings will empty their pension.

            I believe this is 20% of pensioners which surprised me.

            I expected 80%.

              But that won't be this Government's problem (or Labour) - that's at least 5 years away.

                Oh wait, they're demanding £1.7 billion, so the UK must still stump up £1 million
