I'm not eligible to vote but if I could I would vote for the party that gives a fair go to British old-age pensioners currently resident in some overseas countries. As a former serviceman (ex-RAF)with war service, I would like to know why a former colleague of mine with an almost identical career history and now resident in the USA has his pension indexed in exactly the same way as anyone living in Great Britain, whereas my pension is the same now as it was on the day I qualified 12 years ago merely because I happen to live in Australia. Is this British fairplay? J.F.Smith
