MDP Ministry Defence Police (CRIMINALS)

MDP Ministry Defence Police, They have been following me for years, they block my access to a deserted farm road that I walk my dog on, they block me from leaving it, come up beside my car with guns strapped to their legs, like gunslingers. I was advised in February 2018 from Braintree Essex that the MDP would not approach me or engage with me, since then they have upped their campaign of harassing me. It is now into the 50th month of harassment, my MP David Duguid said in January 2019 that he would write to the MDP about this, he did nothing about this and denied he said that, but I have him on my Body Camera saying that, I contacted Nicola Sturgeon she said my Emails was receiving attention, she did nothing, I also contacted Boris Johnson by recorded delivery letter, he sent my letter to the FTAC at the Metropolitan Police, they then contacted my GP. Nazi Fascist State, I have made no threats to anyone, I have no criminal record, not a terrorist, no mental illness as detailed by the FTAC Metripolitan Doctor, In December 26th 2017 I was harassed by MDP Morons, all captured on my Dash Camras, they sent my details to the FTAC, They said this is a tricky case isn't What is tricky about me walking my dog on a deserted farm road, the MDP wanted me to have a Psychiatric Assessment, The Metropolitan Police Doctor said I can't see from the information you have provided that you would currently get anywhere seeking to refer (THIS WAS ME) to a Mental Health Team for intervention, since there is no real demonstrable evidence of mental illness. But Boris Johnson has followed the same path. THE NAZI FASCIST STATE WE LIVE IN, Well we saw how Cressida Dick ordered the ASSASSINATION of Charles de Menezes a 100% innocent man shot dead. Then she got promoted and got an OBE, we are the only country in the world that has a murderer in charge of a Police Force. And Johnson and the Queen are pleased to be seen with Cressida Dick a MURDERER.
THE MDP HAVE BEEN STALKING ME, HARASSING ME, FOLLOWING ME, PUTTING ME IN A STATE OF FEAR AND ALARM, I HAVE HUNDREDS OF DASH CAMERA FOOTAGE, BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE, PHONE FOOTAGE AND AUDIO RECORDINGS OF THIS HARASSMENT, STALKING AND THREATS TO MYSELF AND DOG, I AM ALSO ELDERLY AND DISABLED, I believe they are going to do a CHARLES DE MENEZES ON ME AND MY DOG.

Worse government ever.

They have destroyed the NHS, public services, education and plunged millions into poverty, all while causing the deaths of over 160,000 and siphoning billions from the taxpayer in corrupt contracts for their cronies.

Do not recommend.

Corrupt and full of cronyism.

Poor leadership, lack of compassion for normal people. It is becoming more authoritarian day by day. This government is guilty of cronyism and corruption at the highest level, and has wasted billions over Brexit and the pandemic. Johnson over promises and under delivers on everything. He is a clown. The rest of the world are laughing at us and what little esteem we had has gone. I am ashamed to be British.

In my opinion this horrible Government…

In my opinion this horrible Government does not have the people's best interests at heart and it has cause fair more harm then good and has resulted in poverty homeless debt and misety that 10 years of austerity was completely unnecessary and used the economic crash as excuse to be brutal and cruel Universal Credits is very unfair and pushes people further in two poverty and debt don't believe this government cares about those worse off at all or even wants to help also the bedroom Tex is outrageous the last Labour government had an anti pandemic organisation that was scrapped and called a weste of money by this conservative government how that came back to bite them I just hope one day they will get voted out they really do live up to the name the nasty party and seem to take great pride in doing so also the last Labour government protected our NHS against any form of future trade deal with America I wouldn't put it past this conservative government if they voted to remove that protection I would hate to see us with America's health care system if you don't have the cash you don't get the treatment not even if your dieing and look at the brutal cuts they have made two the NHS over the last 10 years it's heartbreaking such a essential and treasured organisation being put under such unnecessary strain and why has Boris Johnson refused NHS staff a pay rise after everything they have done to protect us and save lives during this pandemic all NHS staff put their own lives on the lines for the sake of others they are Heros and are being treated disgustingly and what a surprise Tories voting against free school meals how hypocritical when you look at the subsidized food and alcohol they get in the house of lords disgraceful I feel like the most valuable people have suffered the most at the hands of this terrible Government that has targeted the disabled the elderly and the poor

You are our servants, not the other way round.

Paid into a system all my working life to find, without notice, that successive governments had "moved the goalposts" and misappropriated the money they took from us (for me it was around 45 years) meaning £45-£50k - the difference between being "fairly comfortable" and "just managing"...and I'm one if the luckier ones. Many have committed suicide. Many have sold homes and are living in cars. Many have become seriously ill. Shame on you using my money to pay off the national debt! And you wonder why we don't trust you!

The Tory Government is responsible for the error on 1950s pension denial.…

The Tory Government is responsible for forcing a whole generation of women born in the 1950’s into poverty. Despite being fully aware of the extreme hardship suffered by these women due to the appallingly mishandled raising of their pension age, this government have refused to take any action to alleviate the distress or poverty currently being experienced by many of the 3.8 million women they affected knowingly. Justice Eadie speaking on behalf of the DWP advised the appeal judges including the Master of the rolls that the government was not obliged to inform these women of the rise in their pension age as their pension was a benefit. Could a pension company get away this? Six years has been added to these women’s pension age with no notice being offered other than some pathetic adverts in broadsheet papers such as the Financial Times and absurd adverts of two dogs talking in a women’s magazine in the 90’s. I am not a dog! No attempt was made to inform these women properly, no letters at all at the time the pension age was raised, in fact Peter Lilley Minister in charge at the time actively prevented these women being informed as he feared they would be unhappy! Very few women received letters in 2012 following the second rise of their pension age in 2011. The majority of 1950s women like myself have never been formally advised of this lengthy extension to their pension age. In the original Judicial Review judgement decades of discrimination was dismissed as ‘social norms’. There is massive discrimination in terms of pension payments due to the discrimination experienced by women in their lives through discrimination in wages and domestic care roles has impacted their savings potential. This impacts directly on women’s pensions as they had less to put in the pot. For women born in the 1950’s discrimination existed in every aspect of their lives and even now it is apparent that these same women are again being discriminated in the workplace as recent ONS statistics have shown they are being made redundant at a higher rate than other age groups and rising numbers of these women are now being forced out of the workplace and onto Universal Credit and ESA. It is time for these women to be given back their dignity and their pensions. This is not just an issue for 1950’s women this affects everyone’s right to their pension. The PM has failed on his promise to review this appalling policy and revisit the very wrong decision made by a Tory Government of what amounts to putting women in the position of being discriminated against yet again! Many women face the loss of paid for pension up to 50k can this be a fair and reasonable policy to just expect 1950s women to take this loss without the proper safeguards in place to inform and justify the mishandling of the policy and let it continue without reviewing it for the massive errors that took place before sanctioning it?

Unacceptable Govt & DWP over raising…

Unacceptable Govt & DWP over raising SPA considerably and continually especially for 1950's and 60's women and their maladministration, which continues today. 2 previous Pensions ministers agree govt got it wrong and ill advised on accuracy of stats, life expectancy and impact. So rectify !! More jobs needed now not just for young, release over 60's to be actual pensioners and create extra jobs and improve uk economy. Pensioners receive less than minimum wage anyway!!

Would have given a big ZERO if I could

Would have given a big ZERO if I could.
Would give my job to a younger person if I could. Unfortunately the government stole my pension.
1950s women deserve their pension NOW!
More than 50,000 women have died without their pension.
Liars, thieves and killing off thousands. This government has brought our country to it's knees. They should all be locked up.
Younger generation beware! Today 1950s women, tomorrow it will be YOU!

Unacceptable

As a professional singer and entertainer I have been left with hardly any financial help from the Government as my livelihood has completely disappeared. I have worked hard for 30 years and paid my taxes and now i get nothing! I take that back.....in the latest announcements to help the self employed it seems i shall get £200 a month to live on. My council tax is more than that a month! Yesterday Rishi Sunak said that artistes and people in the entertainment industry should retrain and find other work. Not easy in the current climate and i have invested many years and lots of money in my line of work to have it just taken away from me. Angry isn't the word. So many of my friends in the industry are in the same position and some have even taken their own lives. What future do we have to look forward to with no entertainment industry! Not to mention the income that must make for the Government in taxes!

I paid into pension for 43 years

I paid into pension for 43 years, when almost time to collect pension they changed age from 60 and I discovered I would have to wait a further few years. Before I reached that age the raised the age again I now have to wait till I am 66. I also paid into a small private pension and was assured that it would not affect my state pension in any way I would still be entitled to full state pension. In 2016 these rules also changed anyone who paid into a contracted out pension scheme in previous years would get a reduced state pension. I was not employed or paying into a contracted out pension from 2016 onwards, I had paid full ni contributions for over forty years and only needed 38 years for full pension but my pension has been reduced and I need to find hundreds of pounds to top it up if I want a full state pension. Deceived by government throughout my working life.

Dastardly and Motley!

Well what can I say......regarding communication, I learned about all the Pension Changes AFTER I retired 🤔so No Stars there. I had just escaped an abusive relationship and was renting a small student flat but had no choice but to move back in with my ex.😱 Left with no income or help whatsoever for 6 years, I'd say that was very Cruel 🥺. Women were not allowed occupational pension, were overlooked for promotion, sacked for being pregnant, paid less than a man, suffered sexual harassment and bullying and had to work part-time or take career breaks because of caring responsibilities. 👪 You've guessed it -we get a much lower Pension than men too! 💰I brought up 7 children (he who must be obeyed wanted 10, I lost 3) virtually alone, plus cared for Mum with Cancer; Great Aunt, Blind and Diabetic; Gran, Heart; Grandad, Angina and Ulcer and Mum-in-law with Dementia, consequently I have much less pension pot than my brother, who did no caring, just drinking. 🚺I couldn't contribute to the mortgage and I and my children, 15, 17 and 19 lost our home. 🏡 I moved far away and retrained-first in Autism which was very dangerous-once I got pulled down in fear of my life and often got bitten; kicked; pinched; screamed and spat at-no joke for a small woman of 60. I retrained again in Community Support, which was exhausting, from 06.30-22.30, 2-3000 mls per month, so not suprisingly I got Tendinitis and had several months off, as you can't lift; push or pull etc with a bad arm. ♿ I struggled on sick pay but couldn't get PIP because of downright lies. 😮 I went back to work and then car packed up and couldn't work any more. I had a 9 week wait for UC then, after the LHA and Advance Repayments, I was left with £9.50 a week.😭I have had no heating for most of 3 years, little food-with no foodbank-and I have Anxiety and Depression, as have my children, who there was no impact assessment for.🤱These SPA changes, without notice, have had a catastrophic effect on my life and I find it very hard to forgive those responsible, despite having been a Sunday School Teacher (besides many other roles.) We are their Mothers; Aunties; Sisters and Fellow Countrymen-how could they treat us like this, with such little regard? Where are THEIR Mothers; Aunties and Sisters, to Speak Up for us?! So many have Died or Committed Suicide. ☠️ There is an element of incompetence but I fear this was done, for the most part secretly, 🐍deliberately to avoid protests and to run us out of time. For Shame! 😡 There isn't an option for no stars so here's a minus 6️⃣0️⃣ - no offence!
X💜X To all struggling ♀️♀️♀️♀️

I had to fight with score as this…

I had to fight with score as this government does not even deserve 1 star.
They do not care about the people that actually pay their wages, and have made so many cock ups it’s hard to keep up with it all.
They have done nothing for the pension age being raised, they had no intention of changing anything or trying to alleviate people’s in deficit and debt due to the amounts of money they have made from all the fifties woman at their detriment. Disgusting, vile government and I can honestly say in my opinion the worst we have ever had. Cartel of dimwits that our lives are in their hands

They lie

They lie. They steal. They cheat. They kill.

UK "government" is unfit for purpose. It serves only the rich and powerful at the expense of the vast majority of us living hand to mouth. It's not a government - it's a cartel.
