BAPA fights against the pension freezing regime of the UK Government

Yes. Over 500,000 British pensioners who have contributed to the National Insurance Fund for most of their working lives have had their pensions frozen from the date of their emigrating to one of the old Commonwealth countries. Australia is particularly hard hit with about 250,000 frozen pensioners.

Meanwhile another half million have been permitted to retain their full entitlements, should they choose to retire to Europe or the USA. Those who go to Europe get Christmas bonuses and some even get winter fuel allowances.
