Why not? We used to get them whenever Labour were in charge, and you can't really blame the opposition for this one!

With a bit more work it could do the same from your personal details and NI number.


There is a danger if they did that people would have the information at their finger tips to be able to dismiss the kind of arguments used to justify cutbacks.

For example if this had been available when the student loan controversy was raging and pea-brain Willets was twittering on about how much Postmen pay towards university education and how wrong it was they did, they would have been able to find out it was about £40 or less a year of their total tax paid that went that way.

Thought the budget was pretty much spot on. Good moves to cut the top tax rate and excellent move to cut corp tax to encourage growth. Britain is open for business again.

Since the bast.. sorry, the government are so keen on localism with the regional pay deals then there should be a regional pension age taking into account regional life expectancy.

In the North East (2010-male) it's 77.2 years
In the South East (2010-male) it's 79.7 years

So if the retirement age is 67 in the South East it should be 65 in the North East. The Southerners are getting 2 extra years pension payments.

I don't find it a laughing matter that they have taken away my only income and made me feel like a worthless, lazy scrounger. My mortgage company finds it even less so.

Seems like the Tory media does not like what Osbourne has put on the table, maybe most of their readers helped put them in power with the prompting of the editors.
