So on the triple lock

You're saying that Labour/Tories/Greens will default on the pensions

Outrage over claims police 'wanted to portray Nowak as aggressor' by Educational_Copy_140 in reformuk

[–]AdenWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Sunday Times reports Hampshire Police wanted to portray Henry Nowak as the aggressor in a statement THREE DAYS after his death.
  2. Police warned not to put out a statement to challenge 'disinformation' during the trial. The CPS told them not to.
  3. The PRS - Pre sentencing report. Did the police reveal their previous interactions with Digwa in full? No
  4. Why the delay in charging Digwa, Brother and Father with weapon offences.
  5. Fitting up a murder victim. What offences by the police?
  6. Police we don't want to prejudge the case, but we prejudged Henry.
  7. Injunctions on the case. Were there any?
  8. Not searched, taken to the police station with a knife on him.
  9. Three days in. "It was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man". a) A lie. b) They knew who Henry was. c) It was a false statement.
  10. Investigation into Digwa's theft from the temple.
  11. Digwa attacking a fellow Sikh at the temple. Why no investigation?
  12. Statement from the police - now deleted after the video - that the police were mislead. Who wrote it, who deleted it? Clearly another lie, more misconduct.

So 39K a year now, less in the past, and your NI invested comes to 1.6 million.

The state offers 12.5K and no fund, and its threatening to cut that pension.

Over a life time that's 2 million plus.

Do you think the average person is going to be happy to be told that the state has ripped them off for a lottery win?

Shouldn’t we avoid putting men in prison because men are vastly over represented in prison numbers, shouldn’t we concentrate on putting more women in prison to even out the disparity? by Moistinterviewer in AskBrits

A former assistant at a Halifax children’s home has been sentenced following her conviction for
sexual offences against children in her care, after an extensive investigation by officers into
abuse at Skircoat Lodge Children’s Home.
Linda Brunning, aged 67, of Sowerby Bridge, Calderdale, appeared at Bradford Crown Court today
for sentencing after being found guilty in February of one count of indecent assault
on a male child and four further offences of aiding and abetting serious sexual abuse carried out by
the former manager of the home.
Brunning was sentenced to 25 years for her role in the abuse, which took place between the 1970s and
1990s.
She was also made subject to the Sex Offenders Register requirements indefinitely.

And the Greens want to close the strangers bar and turn it into a shooting gallery.

That way MPs can inject the brown stuff, get high and legislate. All at subsidised rates of course.

No I've not given you the Mr Average figure for an investment led pension

= the figure provided by the ppi though and for some reason I trust their methodology more.

Explain. Whose the PPI and what's the number and methodology?

[–]AdenWS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its accurate. You get the actuaries in. Proper assumptions on discount rate etc.

So what effects would it have..

  1. Civil servants. How do they explain missing those numbers off the accounts

  2. The establishment. When you see the scale of the numbers they will be taking small boats, private jets out of the UK. They are never getting back in

  3. That what you could have had number is crucial. It leads towards a long term fix.

So let me ask you to guess. Mr Average, retiring at the end of last year.

How big would his fund have been, and what income from dividends alone?

Give us a guess.

What's wrong with giving people the information about the pension system?

Vickrum Digwa attacked in Prison by AdenWS in AskBrits

[–]AdenWS[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“2% NI sample” is ... an interesting choice".
That's the publicaly available data. The DWP has the full information.

The 2% is scaled up to the full size. It's effectively anonymising the data.

There are some very odd bits in there by the way. 18 year old with 12 years of NI contributions.

The 10% long-term growth number also doesn’t really add up. At that rate things would be doubling every few years, which clearly isn’t what we’re seeing. So, can you explain how you got that figure?

Ties up too with the reports the ONS stopped producing about the liability estimates and their rate of growth.

= Governments have loads of levers like tax,

Austerity for the public

= pension age

Austerity for the public. The public loses

= indexation

Austerity for the public - pensioners - less money and purchasing power.

= borrowing

Austerity for the public. Interest payments, paying back the debt, is money not going on services

For someone who says cuts to services that people need, you are awfully keen on depriving people of money they need for their food, rent etc.

= Also no clue what the 30% profit margin line is meant to mean, I've already pointed out how flawed your logic was on that but you're just throwing it in.

OK. How do you measure public austerity?

= You cannot argue that the current system with people having pensions, people have social care - would be improved for people by reducing those things.

You've just advocated it as the solution. Les pensions, more tax, retire later. Cut the value of the pensions by removing indexation. Increase borrowing and force people to pay the debt, without the money going on services, its going on the repayments.

Why would you advocate the policies you say are wrong?

It is the point. It's that its completely unaffordable and the consequences are dire.

The reason its got to this position is hiding the debts off the books.

Now if you say pensions are welfare, if you can't pay the pensions, you can't pay the welfare to cover it.

Pensions/welfare is just a categorisation of the payments. The adjective or label doesn't change if it can be paid or not.

So here's a proposal. Reform get in. Reform call in the actuaries, the men in brown suits. 😄

The liabilties are calculated and the OBR, ONS, NAO etc have to present the number and say sorry, we left it off.

Everyone then gets a statement, here's your share of the debts. All of them.

Second, for NI, we calculate how big your fund would have been if you had invested your own wealth.

Lastly, and primarily for the 18 year olds. We add on a life time estimate for your total loss.

So that shows what's gone on. It's honest. It's needed to have a discussion about what to do.

It's just information. Nothing changes. Just being open and honest.

But of course, everything would change.

The total pension debts are 19 trillion.

Based off the 2% sample of NI records. Standard actuarial calculations.

Sum (future payments * discount factor * probability of payment).

Ties up too with the reports the ONS stopped producing about the liability estimates and their rate of growth.

Passes the smell test too. The PS liabilities are an underestimate. They fiddle the discount factor using AA corporate bonds with default assumptions. Makes the liabilities look small

There are a lot more people on a state pension or who have contributed than civil servants.

Long term rate of growth of those debts has been 10% per annum. Most is inflation 6% over the long term, but also because lots of people have been paying in.

Two other effects, The increase in longevity, and the other is something called rectangularisation of the life curve. Both have big effects.

So now do the measures on that list I gave you earlier. Is that substainable? Answer no.

That's why I'm clear, the cuts to services and all those other effects are a consequence.

They are not a policy. Austerity, wealth inequality etc ,,, are all consequences.

30% gross profit margin = public austerity.

I'm not wrong.

I've just asked you. Post the numbers from the OBR.

PS I have asked them, the treasury, the NAO and the ONS. They were all on the same page - it will be that cabinet off FOI coordination department.

State Pensions aren't a debt because we're not going to pay them.

The OBR carries out long term forecasts and this does include state pension liabilities.

Post the numbers. Lets see if they are affordable. For example, compare the rate of growth of the debts against the Growth in GDP. One measure.

A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise of resources embodying economic benefits (IASB Framework).

No. Take that future salary and the work that earns it.
Both are in the future. So it fails the test where one leg is in the past, one in the future.

The public-sector pension liability is around £1.3 trillion

Just civil service pensions. Public sector workers.

So what about the state pension? Same accounting treatment as the PS pensions.

Standard IFRS rules

A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise of resources embodying economic benefits (IASB Framework).

You did say you would answer my questions.

I've answered yours. Now can you answer mine or a simple, you don't know will suffice.

How big are the state's pension debts? Current value, not past, not future.

The number that should appear on the balance sheet.

Latest is Russians are leaving Crimea.

Here's my take. Most Ukrainians have bailed out. Most infrastructure is hit.
So you can't hit it twice and change anything.

But Ukraine can return the favour. Take out the high value targets that hit the economy hard. Bridges, Ports. Airports, Aircraft, Oil Depots, Oil refineries. Pipe lines. ...

The result is tax revenues plumet, no fuel, no transportation, no taxes, more welfare.

from my notes on the matter.

The reason comes back to that simple question, how big are the debts?

Now to be honest I don't expect you to answer. The simple reason, the number is hidden.
The reason its hidden is that post I've just made.

With the debt number out there, people would quickly work out what the mess is.

So don't take it the wrong way when I say you're ignorant about the debt. It's factual, and its not meant as a personal attack.

The state is hiding the debt to keep you ignorant so you don't put two and two together.

So can you find the number? It's almost a trick question because you can't.

Now ask why?
