Rejected petition Getting a fair pension for the contributions

More details

People who have lived and worked in the UK for all their life are entitled to a full state pension. However people that move into the UK from other countries for only a few years are also entitled to a full state pension, this is unfair as the young who pay into the scheme will find there is no money left. We should get out of the scheme what we pay into it, if 5 years are paid in then we get 5 years out, not 40 years
