^ Yes, this is what i meant. It is not an especially UK thing though with all that's been going on recently.

I thought a pension was already compulsory , unless you opt out?

Edit:Why didn't they make it for everyone over 18 working full-time anyway, not just 21

This organization is hell bent on the destruction of the Labour party.

Strange how the media only reports them in a light way. Clearly they want to move the Labour party further left than it is now and will stop at nothing to achieve this goal.

MPs blast death threats as newspaper headlines branded 'a kind of fascism'

Well if you are going to use social media that is your own look out. As for the news papers their sales have been falling year on year so what do they do? Yes hard hitting headlines in order to make you buy them. You lot have the power to do something about it so why don't you?

[Jimbuna]

Because wealth and the means to achieving it often lead to corruption and bias.

The Liberal Democrats have been fined £18,000 for breaking spending rules in last year's EU referendum.
The Electoral Commission said the party had "failed to deliver a complete and accurate spending return".
Proper receipts and invoices were not provided for 80 payments worth more than £80,000, the watchdog said.

Online trolls who sent abusive emails to Tory MP Anna Soubry and her fellow Brexit rebels have been confronted by Sky News.

Ms Soubry has submitted a 35-page dossier of threats of violence made against her to House of Commons Speaker John Bercow.

The document includes emails and Twitter posts, many of which call for the Broxtowe MP to be hanged for treason.

Why is SKY News doing this? It's down to these MP's to take action and i think "death threats" falls under hate crimes. So these MP's should contact the police.
