given the current and future political climate of this country and all of europe for that matter, we dont even know if the tax payers of today will receive a pension in the future. I pay my taxes but i dont believe in pensions and a year ago i started paying into a private pension fund for my future.

That's quite true but your N.I/taxes also goes towards the NHS and other things. I also have a private pension, most people do but it's besides the point really.
