Show more»""If the earnings link hadn't been abolished, the state pension would now be £109.40 a week for a single person and £174.95 for a couple, rather than the £95.25 for a single person and £152.30 for a couple, which is the current pension level.

Lib Dem policy is initially to link pensions to average earnings from the time of achieving power, rather than backdate the increase.  However, in the longer term, we would completely change the state pension and raise it from its currently level to the level of the Pension Credit Guarantee, which is currently £130 a week for a single person and £198.45 for a couple.  The Pension Credit level is the minimum amount the Government thinks a pensioner needs to live on, and our policy would mean that all pensioners would receive this amount, without having to fill in complicated and intrusive forms to access means-tested top ups, as they do at the moment.  This "Citizens' Pension" would also be paid on the basis of how long you have lived in the UK, rather than how much you have paid in National Insurance Contributions, which is much fairer to women who take career breaks to bring up children, and to carers.

I hope this clarifies it!""Show less«

I read in theObserver  23.08.09 of your involvement in and concern about the CRB checks issue. I would ask if you will do everything you can to get rid of the sheer stupidity, cost and frustration , of the need for an individual to have separate CRB clearance for being employed in the same line of work in different locations.I have friends here in my area who work for several Residential Care Homes often under the direction of an agency. Each individual post requires a separate submission. Contrary to the Observer article`s intimation, it is the indivual, low-paid person who must pay for these CRB checks and suffer the delays that are inherent in a flawed system. What if we all needed to apply for a separate passport for each different country we visited? The stupidity is self-evident. Power to your elbow Jenny." Show less »

    (By the way , I like your hair-do).
    Seriously, I have a real problem with the anti-social behaviour of a minority of the community, and due to the fragile nature of the world, then I think that this is so important, that I think someone in a position of authority needs to act now, to prevent further damage.
    My background is that I was a qualified mental health nurse, and , to cut a very very long story short, I have special training in applied psychology etc.
    Now, I am not in the state of mind where I could be regarded as being paranoid.
    It seems that some people have used the complex concepts  of (social)science to basically behave in unacceptable ways, and enough is enough.... their approach was dissected at Nuremburg....
    They have perverted science, and engaged in efforts that are immoral, using innocent people as trial subjects for large scale clandestine experiments, in the hope that useful information can be gleaned to protect The Realm. However, they did not and will not accept the idea that consent is totally central to using people in trials etc. Basically, they are developing the science of the concentration  camp.
    I have behaved through all of this in a totally exemplary manner, whilst they have degenerated into the pseudo-scientific filth that they really are. I do have my concerns about my own personal welfare, but I think that the implications are so huge to the cause of basic civilistion, that I am driven to sending this e-mail to you. I am happy to discuss this with responsible people. I do not believe that the existence of bizarre secret societies is acceptable any more in such a challenging world--it is just too dangerous to accept. I might be wrong.
    There is a good chance that you will dismiss this stuff as the work of a crank.
    Stuart McLeod.
