More details from petition creator

Increase State Pensions to £250 a week for all UK single pensioners, with a relevant increase for couples, this is easily affordable by abolishing the excessivelly costly means test system this is demeaning and intrusive to the elderly. Plus the government are sitting on an NI "surplus" of 40 billion, which is expected to increase to 74.1 billion by 2012. We also request that the Prime Minister abolishes Council Tax, because all British pensioners have spent their entire working lives paying income tax, and N.I. contributions into the system.
