THOUSANDS of Fylde Coast men aged 60 years could now receive full pensions equal to women aged 60 years now fully receiving the pension.
Premier Blair's discriminative government have now been brought before the European Court of Human Rights for wrongly denying men aged 60 years while paying pensions to women of the same age.
The European Court judgment has ruled the British Government has acted illegally against equal pension rights, which New Labour has decided to repress for another ten years.
British pensioners are not on MPs' meaty salaries and are Europe's poorest.
