Yes, I *DO* get a pension from the UK government - well actually, TWO
pensions! One as an ordinary citizen and another as a 'veteran' (ex-Royal
Navy)

Did you pay into these pensions out of your pocket?

Yes!

Liar.

No, the Navy one was paid by the Navy, IOW, by the tax payer.
BD didn't pay a cent, or penny, or whatever the currency is there.

If you are a member of the Regular or Reserve Armed Forces you are automatically
enrolled into the Armed Forces pension scheme when you join. You can choose to
opt out but you will be giving up free money if you do as the pension is non-contributory.
This means the tax-payer pays for it, you pay nothing at all.

That's what I said.

Would this be an example of socialism, Dave?

No, under socialism he would be entitled to ONE public
pension, the same as everyone else. Maybe you should enquire, I don't
think anyone is entitled to TWO public pensions.
