A reliable source confirmed today that of the approximately 30,000 Shell pensioners in the UK some 5,000 (17%) worked for Shell for 20 years or more, but are in receipt of pensions of £10,000 per annum or less. (In addition they will mostly be in receipt of the State pension and some may get additional State benefits). It is likely that a substantial proportion of these Shell pensioners will have total incomes below the statutory UK minimum wage which is currently approximately £12,500 per annum.
The position of these increasingly impoverished pensioners has been gradually eroded over the years as their Retail Price Index related annual increases from Shell have lagged substantially behind real UK pensioner inflation. It is clear that Shells previous commitment to their Pensioners that the real value of your pension is maintained have not been honoured by Shell and that at present there is little prospect that this will be addressed in the near future. The RPI related increase indicated by current inflation is of the order of 3% – way behind real Pensioner inflation and a source of real concern for the very elderly receiving low pensions whose purchasing power continues to be severely eroded.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
