The Minister makes a big deal out of treating pensioners so well, including half a million who live in certain overseas countries. However, he fails to mention how badly he treats another half a million pensioners living in mainly Commonwealth countries who have their state pensions frozen at the rate at which they are first paid. Despite everyone having paid exactly the same into the NIF under exactly the same rules.
