As it is my money why do I, under UK law, have to buy an annuity with my pension fund in the end? Annuities take your money for keeps and pay you no more than about 1% above a bank deposit a/c. - Why should I have to make a compulsory gift to an issurance company? - Why can I not manage my money myself, if I want to? - Do you know the magnitude of the annual bonuses in the financial industry? They are obscene Old know all, you arerepeating the platitudes spouted by the government. It gives me 28% tax relief and then requires me to give that plus my own money to an INSURANCE co., not to the nation. Your last para confuses the huge annual Xmas bonuses the financial industry gives out to ALL senior staff, with the commission paid to its small salesmen who deserve it.

But even that confiscates you money in the end. John, I agree with you. UK tax laws fleece the ordinary people, but allow private equity billionaires and their ilk, to pay as little as they like.
