You don't get interest added onto savings pots do you? (i'm not sure). Or do you mean people have saved in an interest-bearing account to help them when they have retired. In which case - they may well be paying some tax on their savings already?
What I am saying is that pension pots are savings, and there are ways of taxing pension pots that will (in theory at least) raise money for the government.

Whether it’s pension savings/investments, or other savings/investments, interest is routinely added to the balances.

People do also save/invest for retirement not under a pensions wrapper, typically in an ISA.

Really? I think “cheeky beggar” for instance is quite common.
Nope. It’s not common to me. Genuinely can’t recall ever hearing someone substitute beggar for bugger.

I presume all those who moaned about corrupt Tory donors will be screaming for Labour to sever ties and repay donations from Unite if they are found to have broken the law ?.
Did you read any of it?

Unite have instigated 2 of their own investigations via a KC and an accountancy firm and referred it themselves to police. If there has been evidence of corruption, the Union appear to be at the front of the queue to establish any criminality.

nope, sorry again. One set of GPs came from Leicestershire, the other set was one Welsh one Sussex.
Fair enough. Whatever the reason, I have never heard it before.

Re Cheeky Beggar.

Arfur Daley used it in 1984.


Pete in Eastenders was called it in 1986.

Thomas Allibone Tanvier used it in Jaune D'Antmoine in 1891, published in 1905 (or at least that's how it was translated into English).

J Harwood Panting used it in the Hero of Garside School in 1907 https://bookreadfree.com/182231/4509904
