Incidentally, whatever makes you think that paying money to the government means that any of it goes to the pensions system? All that happens is that tax by any name (VAT, PAYE, National Insurance, Etc &c) goes into a big bag marked 'cash to waste' that Gordon Brown doles out to his pet projects. He is under no compulsion to put a single bean of your national insurance towards insuring you.
