Hello there, I'm Matthew Wrhght and you're watching Inside Out London... | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
It was designed to help people get onto the property ladder. | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
I saved up hard and worked two jobs to earn the money. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
But why has the Right to Bux dream turned sour for some? | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
I brought this property thinking it would bring me peace, but it | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
How little Lilly helped bring a pioneering cancer treatment to | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
to bring these innovative treatments into the UK and we can help all of | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
And ` we get a sneak preview of the City's heritage gems as they go | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
opportunity to see our extra special treasures, our Magn` Cartas | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
Over the last few decades, Right to Buy schemes have hdlped | :01:01. | :01:13. | |
thousands of council tenants to buy their own homes. | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
But for some, this has provdd to be a poisoned chalice. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
We've discovered that some homeowners are being forced to sell | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
their properties at well below market rates to make way | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
for redevelopers, leaving many facing financi`l ruin. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
We sent property expert Lukd Doonan to investigate. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
They were once stigmatised by sky`high rates of crime and poverty. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
But these days flats on est`tes like this are being snapped up ` | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
with tens of thousands sold at cut`price rates under right`to`buy. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Now the government wants more Londoners to sign up to the deal. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
It recently increased the m`ximum discount for council tenants wishing | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
It's being sold as the opportunity of a lifdtime, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
the chance for families frol humble beginnings to get a secure footing | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
But the right to buy scheme may not be as good a deal as it appdars | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
I think that people who bought under right to buy on council est`tes can | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
To end up with a property like this... | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
I bought this property thinking it would bring me peace but it's | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
So we are in modern developlent in Bermondsey Square near | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
In fact this place is a bit like her current home which is also | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
This is a comparable size to what you have. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
From here you are only a mile to where you live. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
But that's where the similarities end! | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
This flat is six times more than the value of your property. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
This place is on the market for ?675,000! | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
Yet according to Southwark council, Beverly's home is only worth | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
When Beverly bought her Southwark flat on the Aylesbury estatd over | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
a decade ago, she was assurdd it was a great investment. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
You bought the property from the council. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
They were encouraging peopld to do the right to buy. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
They had this new scheme and we got a discount of 38$ of | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Even with a reduction, buying this flat was a struggle for Bevdrly | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
I saved hard and worked two jobs to earn | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
I literally worked from nine to five and then six until | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
midnight and I was really h`ppy that I was able to buy my own hole. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
But five years ago Beverly received a letter from Southwark council | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
revealing that all she had worked for, | :04:00. | :04:00. | |
I'm going to be moved out basically because council | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
regeneration are taking our homes under compulsory purchase. | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
The compulsory purchase orddr means Southwark council can legally | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
They've agreed to reimburse her for the property but Beverlx | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Initially I received an offdr from Southwark of ?65k. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
It's gone up to 117k ` that's their final offer. | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Have you had a private evaluation? | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
One initially at ?240k and just recently another at ?2 0k. | :04:41. | :04:50. | |
As a property developer, I think Beverly's home is now worth about | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
?300k ` that's more than dotble the sum the council have put on the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Which is a big difference from what they are offering me | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
It's just unbelievable ` just like a nightmare. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
Beverly's not the only one having sleepless nights | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Several of her neighbours, also leaseholders, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
are facing the loss of their homes and possible financial ruin. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
The council valued my property at 80,000! | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
There is quite a discrepancx between what the property is valued at by | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
The council are offering me ?14 k for my three bedroom property and | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
through my research I've iddntified within the area I am living | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
in a property is going for the average property price of ?385k | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
All over London, dozens of aging council estates, p`st their | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Woodberry Downs in Hackney has gone from this to this. | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
These luxury apartment blocks now house many of the counchl | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
The regeneration that's happening in Woodberry Down is probably the best | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
I used to be embarrassed to invite friends from other areas rotnd to | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
Regeneration has been great news for council residents all over | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
Back in Southwark, once the Aylesbury estate h`s been | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
modernised, all the council tenants will be automatically transferred to | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
one of the new flats or givdn a home somewhere else in the borough. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Just ringing to tell you I got the bad news. | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
I just received my, I think it's my notice | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
But Beverly has just opened a letter warning that she m`y have | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
She now has no choice but to try and find a new home elsewhere. | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
It is. We've come to Hither Green in Lewisham where Estate agdnt | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
Andrew, is showing her one of the very few properties hn London | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
It leads right into the bathroom, and the kitchen is tiny! | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
So you live in here and sledp in here. | :07:24. | :07:39. | |
No I am actually getting shhvers at the moment because I feel very | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
I can't believe I've worked all my life to end up with a hole | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
I think I need to step out for a few minutes. | :07:53. | :08:02. | |
You must have some sympathy for leaseholders that thought they | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
The estate is in desperate need of regeneration and we are buying | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
out leaseholders but we are doing everything we can to work whth them. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
I'm raising some of the concerns of the homeowners on the Aylesbury | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
estate with the head of Southwark's regeneration programmes. Whx are | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
they being offered less than 50 of the market value for their | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
They are being offered markdt values for their properties. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
They are being offered markdt value plus 10% for the | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
It's not market value, it's what you've valued the properties as | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
We are offering leaseholders a fair price. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
It just seems easier to be ` tenant and a lot harder to be a le`seholder | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
What's in place for those asked to leave their homes? | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
We are offering leaseholders a range of options from shared | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
equity to shared ownership on or nearby the state if they choose | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
But Beverly and her neighbotrs say unless the council offer thdm more | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
cash for their current homes, the new properties will be out of their | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
reach. Leaseholders can't even afford to come back on propdrty | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
400k. If you do offer me solewhere to live, | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
Across London, on the West Hendon estate leaseholders have bedn living | :09:14. | :09:25. | |
under the threat of a Compulsory Purchase Order for over a ddcade. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
They were first informed about it in 2002 when the council announced | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Everything was recognised in 2003 that | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
All the buildings would be finished and completed | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
and everybody would be moved into their new homes by September 20 2. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
But that date passed with no action and two years on the deadline has | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
In the meantime, Jasmin and all the other leaseholders on this | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
estate have their capital locked in homes they just can't sell. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
We know areas where people have been under threat of CPOs for ye`rs | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
and years and they are very stuck. We've been in limbo since 2002 and | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Walk away in debt is about the only option that we do have | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
With the bulldozers looming over Southwark, the homeowners h`ve | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
We've come in here today to get an action plan to challenge because we | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
On the grounds that are valuations are too low. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
They are using this as an excuse to move us out of the area. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
They are moving all the people out of the area. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
It may seem a long shot, but what's at stake is everxthing | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
they have ever owned ` their homes and their futurd. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
I regret buying under right`to`buy because the council has robbed me | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
of my property and I will lose everything. | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
Because I feel within the ndxt few months I will be homeless. | :10:58. | :11:07. | |
Luke Doonan reporting there. Now then ` still to come on tonhght s | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
show. Drunkenness, particularly along | :11:14. | :11:20. | |

The story of Ashya King, thd little boy removed from Southampton | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Hospital by his parents, shows just how desperate people can get when | :11:28. | :11:41. | |
potentially life`saving cancer treatments are available abroad but | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
not on the NHS. Two years ago, we brought you the story of little | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Lilly MacGlashan, whose pardnts were in a similar position to Ashya's. | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
But thanks to an American trial vaccine, her cancer is now hn full | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
remission. Lilly's story inspired a cancer charity so much that they're | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
now bringing the treatment over to the UK to help other childrdn. Mark | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
Jordan has the story. We are at war with cancer ` | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
we've had our victories but some Each parent | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
at this gathering knows thehr child might die from neuroblastom` ` | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
a rare childhood cancer The way of thinking around the world ` | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
literally ` is that once yot relapse with high risk neuroblastom` you | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
have no chance of survival. What do you do when respectdd | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
foreign doctors tell you thdy The figures in America give | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
a 20`30% extra chance We had to raise funds to get our | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
child to America for treatmdnt. It must be terrible to think no | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
options available here But by the end of the year ` this | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
same doctor will be administering of America's most promising trials | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
right here in Britain. This is a story of faith, | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
hope and charity. How ordinary people dug deep | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
and reached for the clouds, cutting through the bureaucracy, thd NHS | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
and the drug companies ` rahsing enough for one of the most promising | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
trials to come to Britain. We have gotten to | :13:16. | :13:28. | |
the point where when someond isn't To understand why these tri`ls bring | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
such hope you need to meet You can see how veined | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
her stomach was. Over the years I've been filming | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
her incredible journey. In 2011 NHS doctors said thdy could | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
do no more It spread to her brain | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
and her spine. We were taken in an office | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
and told 'take some photos and make the best of it ` it will | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
come back and be lethal. I sat on my stairs | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
and screamed ` I'll research it on Granny's laptop discovered | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
a prestigious American cancdr hospital offering | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
a promising trial treatment. About 75% | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
of our children seem to grow up Lilly's 8H9 treatment at | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Memorial Sloan Kettering cost ? .2 The check ups go on Up to now | :14:21. | :14:35. | |
they have all been N.E.D Amazing, two years on seeing her, | :14:36. | :15:02. | |
how has she been? Lilly is doing ready well, she's full of mhschief, | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
and she is ready wilful and she loves life. And at one point, the | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
NHS told you there was no hope. They did and if we had listened, we | :15:13. | :15:13. | |
wouldn't be sitting here now. And that's why charities like JACK | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
and Neuroblastoma Alliance Here, Met and Essex police officers | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
run a half marathon in New Xork Richard Brown lost | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
his son Jack to the disease ` yet he is still running | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
so that others might survivd. There was no more applicabld | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
treatment in the UK. They couldn't define the disease | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
and he was sent home. You have big burly cops who | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
have been reduced to tears. Parents shouldn't have to btry | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
their kids. Other EU governments, like Greece, | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
pay for their kids to come to Memorial Sloan Kettering for | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
treatment ` but not the NHS, which leaves child cancer charities | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
in the awful position of picking which child they can pay | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
to send here. It was very costly but she wouldn't | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
be here today if it wasn't for that. As much as we would like to say we | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
can bring them all abroad, it's just too expensive ` | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
and we couldn't sustainably fund it, so we are trying to bring | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
treatments into the UK. With ?300,000 raised, they `sked | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
a medical panel to pick the most They chose a vaccine from | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Sloan Kettering that hopes to teach Three years into the New York study, | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
12 of the 15 children remain It's a great joy to see | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
somebody with a high`risk disease relapse | :16:43. | :16:55. | |
and everyone writes them off ` and here they are disease`free, enjoying | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
life and growing up like thdy ought By the end of the year, this | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
trial will expand to the Brhstol Available free on the NHS ` | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
the vaccine paid for by charity Bringing this trial over to the UK ` | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
which otherwise would operate in the USA ` I think is transformational | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
and entirely down to them. Without their funding, | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
we would not be doing this study. It'll come to us eventually ` | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
but it will come five, ten xears That would be too late | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
for these families. Although promising, the doctor | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
understands why the NHS left How could you spend this amount of | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
money on something that is tnproven? We are going to treat 12 | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
patients with this money. It's a matter of priorities | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
and what can be brought into the NHS But there are still 13 | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
patients out of 15 alive. I'd rather be | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
in that group than one that says Britain's Institute of | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
Cancer Research welcome the charity paying for | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
a vital trial because drug companies often see no profit in testhng their | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
best drugs on rare child cancers. Certain cancer drugs that are active | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
in adult treatments are not required to be tested in children | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
and therefore are not avail`ble Less than 25% | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
of drugs have reached children. That is frustrating for clinicians | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
and parents. So against all these odds, | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
Lilly is well and back home. But it's not all been | :18:43. | :18:52. | |
smooth sailing. The American doctors that rdversed | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
the NHS's terminal diagnosis asked only that the UK then provide them | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
with regular, simple MRI sc`ns. We've come back | :19:01. | :19:13. | |
thinking her follow up is jtst MRI and they were saying "No, | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
they don't do that over herd." The best you can do | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
for that child is to carry out a few tests every three to four months | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
for a couple of years, so that if you find something, it's a better | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
chance of getting it under control. Charity had raised over ?1 lillion | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
to save Lilly but the NHS Only when the MacGlashens' LP | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
demanded it was It was really difficult to trust | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
the British doctors again, but a plan has come up | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
and now things are a lot better She has changed the protocol here | :19:53. | :20:05. | |
and it's amazing that they `re starting to bring the treatlent over | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
here. They are getting the Latest, | :20:10. | :20:10. | |
the most advanced. Not all trails succeed, | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
but it's little miracles like Lilly that now put so much hope | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
on the one in Bristol. This Friday, a brand new gallery | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
will be opening right It will give the public | :20:24. | :20:37. | |

have been selected from the City's vast historical collections, kept | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
safe at the London Metropolhtan There are going to be about eight to | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
ten items that we will alwaxs have And they'll be | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
our extra special treasures. They will never have been | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
on this kind of permanent dhsplay before, so hopefully members | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
of the public will have a great opportunity to see a shop whndow | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
on what we've got here at LLA. At the core of the new colldction | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
will be an extremely rare copy of probably the most famous document | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
in all of English history. This is one of our special hconic | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
documents, this is a Magna Carta. It's very well preserved, isn't it, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
after all this time? It is, and it's really becatse it's | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
been preserved in one place From the 13th century, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
only 17 copies survive, of which this one is generally accepted | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
to be in the best condition. Magna Carta was first issued in 1215 | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
to prevent civil war between King It contained some earth`shattering | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
ideas about liberty, But it also established somd | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
important things That little line along therd is a | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
clause saying that the City of London could mahntain | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
its ancient liberties and ctstoms. And it's the only city that's | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
named in Magna Carta. Well, it is a beautiful thing | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
but they made a mistake down here. It is actually the covering note | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
to the sheriffs of London. We've heard about the Sheriff | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
of Nottingham in Robin Hood, but actually there were sheriffs | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
of London. Magna Carta may be taking pride | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
of place in the new Gallery, but there's another document going | :23:19. | :23:32. | |
on display that's even older. It dates from 1067, so it's shortly | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
after the battle of Hastings, It dates from 1067, so it's shortly | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
after the Battle of Hastings, and it's another royal charter, | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
but this time it's from William the What William's doing in the charter | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
is confirming inheritance whll "Each child be | :23:45. | :23:56. | |
his father's inheritance taker" Oh, I see ` so it's enshrinhng in | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
law And also saying he is not | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
going to change the law. And saying he's not | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
going to nick it! But what else has been | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
deemed worthy of display? When choosing what to put | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
in the new Gallery, the Citx Here at the Metropolitan Archives | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
in Clerkenwell, there are literally millions | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
of books, documents and letters A little bit of celebrity status | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
never harms. And celebrities don't come luch | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
bigger than the Great Bard himself. It's a title deed, Maxwell, | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
and what makes it special is that it's a property that was sold to | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
William Shakespeare, and wh`t makes it extra special is that it is one | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
of only six documents in thd world And where was | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
the property that he bought? One of the theories is that | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
the Blackfriars Theatre was where his company the King's Men put | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
on their plays in the winter. Another theory is that it w`s | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
an astute property investment. He actually lived | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
in Stratford most of the tile. So he was an investor ` | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
a property investor! Yes, not how we think | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
of Shakespeare. It's not how we think about him | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
at all! It is important that as part | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
of our picture of Shakespeare that we recl`im him | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
as a Londoner, if you like. And I think | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
the deed helps us do that. Another item | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
of celebrity memorabilia is a diary belonging to the 17th | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
century scientist, architect This is amazing ` it's completely | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
illegible but it's There's so many things buzzhng | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
round. So many experiments he wants to do, | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
important conversations he's had So this tells us a huge amotnt | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
about what life was like He went to the theatre, he looked | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
at the progress of buildings. The treasures on display won't just | :26:04. | :26:17. | |
tell us about the lives They'll also reflect the cataclysmic | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
events that have affected all This is a volume of minutes | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
from the London County Council ` it's their emergency committee | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
which they set up just after the A theme | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
which comes up quite regularly is Well, presumably these are | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
the young wives of And now suddenly they're | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
receiving the army income. The reports in here suggest that | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
women have more money than they're accustomed to having | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
and, as a result, some of them are actually spending | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
quite a lot of time in the pubs "Drunkenness, particularly `mong | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
women, is still on the incrdase "in the Old Kent Road betwedn 9 30 | :27:02. | :27:05. | |

of treasures will go on display ` In this modern city of steel | :27:08. | :27:20. | |
and glass, it's useful to bd reminded of the extraordinary | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
stories of everyday life th`t help Maxwell Hutchinson there, something | :27:25. | :27:41. | |
of a heritage treasure himsdlf, I should say. And if you want more | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
information on that gallery, I will give you the address in a moment, | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
but first, a quick look at what is coming up on next week's pension | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
special. We reveal how the biggest scam in the pensions industry is | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
leaving victims penniless. There are numerous people who have sahd to me | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
that they sometimes feel th`t the only way out of this misery is to | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
commit suicide. We investigate why so many of us are | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
turning our backs on pensioners Who has got a pension on the bus? `` on | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
pensions. Who hasn't got a pension? The first thing we have to do is get | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
millions of people into a pdnsion at all, starting with young people and | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
get people to build on that basic minimum. | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
And could London be the best place to retire to? Older people `re | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
relaxed, they have learned to deal with London, they can afford it | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
they like the place, they lhke everything about it. That is it from | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
Inside Out. If you have missed any tonight's show and would like to | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
