interestrateripoff Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/pensions/8294253/Bank-of-England-boosts-Mervyn-Kings-pension-by-1.4m.html The deal was settled shortly after Mr King negotiated a second five-year term at the Bank following a fraught reappointment process in the wake of the Northern Rock crisis. In his final 16 months as a member of the generous final-salary scheme, the Governor's pension pot grew by a third from £3.95m to £5.36m. By comparison, in the prior 12 months, it rose by £378,700. The Bank could offer no explanation as to why the Court of the Bank decided to bring the Governor to full pension accrual before starting a second term, though it may have been for administrative purposes. Once he leaves the Bank, when his current term expires in 2013, he will be eligible to draw an annual pension equivalent to £198,200 today. Questions about the Governor's pension have surfaced shortly after he warned that UK households face the most dramatic squeeze in living standards since the 1920s. In a speech last week, Mr King said disposable incomes will fall to 2005 levels as wages fail to keep pace with inflation and tax rises and benefit cuts bite. Nice, everyone else is being told their pensions are unaffordable and changes have to be made. And yet the top scum get to have a nice hefty payout and a pension which is about 50% of their current salary, and they get that after only 10 years in the job. What's the betting he ends up in the employment of a bank afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interestrateripoff Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/8294293/UK-government-should-rethink-cuts-and-raise-pension-age.html The economy is operating at around 4pc under its potential, signalling the need to rethink the fiscal tightening, according to the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR)."Given that margin of spare capacity, there is a case for promoting the recovery by postponing at least some of the austerity programme," the think-tank said as it unveiled its quarterly forecasts. "As an alternative to swift consolidation, it (the government) could raise the state pension age faster so that it reaches 68 rather than 66 by 2020." Adding three years to the average working life would boost growth by 0.3 percentage points a year for a decade, said NIESR, as the labour force grows and money otherwise stashed away for retirement stays in circulation. The state pension age is 65 for men and will reach 66 for both sexes by 2020, under current plans. And the proles get told to work longer.

The Spaniard Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It's no surprise that one of the top people in the rent-a-currency scam we call a banking system is disproportionately rewarded.

richc Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Don't the BoE now hold their pensions in index linked bonds? Yes, they do, which is a sick joke. Why would anyone go to a restaurant where the chef refuses to eat his own food? Why trust a central bank that puts all of its savings in inflation proof investments?

50sQuiff Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Again HPC collectively called this bang on. As soon as I saw the BoE make a massive shift in to index-linked gilts, I loaded up on both issues of the NS&I linkers. I'm sure plenty here did the same.

erranta Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) We should donate all our savings and future earnings to the top 5%, then wait for the trickle down effect to make us all wealthy What do you mean "donate" - the City wallahs wacked up their Fees and Charges as soon as their money-go-round bubble blew - they thieve from your future ie your Pension and any meagre investments you may have! They also swapped to extra salary (doubled for City workers) from bonuses as they knew bonuses would fall (by various means) Any Proles now on bonuses built into annual wages are onto a hiding in a recession (never agree to it unless you are on a big salary) coz they take a greater strain for the company they work for as less remuneration comes in no matter how hard they try Post 'it' note/Eton The Establishment 'Poetic metre' 'Lamb' UNSTRESSED > STRESSED "In plain sight" City Financial paper THE FT - THEFT!
