Yeah, why take guidance from Mark Twain when you've got Tommy Robinson, one of the great minds of our century. Honestly. -

Horace Walpole? "We are inclined to look back to those August days and smile contemptuously at those who thought that 'patriotism was enough.' And we see very clearly now that it isn't enough." -

He may be right in some of the things he says but no, I don't trust him to be the person with the solution. I question his motives. If that had been in the right wing press you would have lapped it up, as most of your peers here do. We all have to base our views on some media. I know which ones I trust the most. -

Ah, the old "My enemies enemy is my friend" routine. I know nothing of the Sikh relationship with Robinson but this is rather enlightning. Apparently the Sikhs aligned themselves with the EDF but couldn't take the racism. Robinson tried to influence the Sikh youth with anti Muslim films. Seems like they're friends again now. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sikh-youth-uk-muslim-film-university-tommy-robinson-edl-sex-groomers-islamophobia-racism-a8002526.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1KMXehLUhyUtMvSEFZrCsgfaAK1Hgaa_mrOphlA-2isT1M91Fhndz5DQ0_aem_AeBU_DgYaNmRqAsGU2fhNAHSquxZs32p3InpFKuzceqte90ttdtJ7WMAc5UHr-gJVn8kM0t7PqWmtASvitlWzysK -

This is just a list of demands. How is this to be achieved without government representation? -

British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand
Baht Simpson replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am aware that, at the time of the previous general election, the Labour party had included unfreezing of frozen pensions in their manifesto (I think that is correct). I therefore responded to my MP as below : Dear Mr xxxxxx, Thank you for your response. It is, of course, disappointing. At the time of the last (I believe) election the Labour Party promised to unfreeze pensions for those pensioners living overseas in countries that do not receive uprating. I have to ask why that promise has changed ? Why are we no longer deserving of this ? The fact that some pensioners are still receiving the level of pension that they had when they left UK many years ago is, to be fair, disgusting. You say that this "this is a difficult issue". I would have to disagree. It's a very simple issue. Make pension uprating the norm for all pensioners, no matter where they reside. What could be simpler than that ? We have paid our dues in UK, many of us, including me, for more than 40 years, and now we are penalised ? Why ? You say that moving overseas is voluntary decision. That is so, and so is my choice of who to vote for. I'm sure that the implication is clear. Regards, Tony M The MP has not responded Angela Rayner is the Shadow Deputy Leader and probable Deputy PM in a few weeks. It might be appropriate to remind her of her words from 2016. 'The cause is also being supported by shadow pensions minister Angela Rayner who described frozen pensions as ‘unfair and illogical’. "Over 550,000 people are losing over half their money they worked hard for. The fought for their country, they worked hard, paid national insurance and paid tax, it is unjust and something has to be done,’ she said. ‘It comes down to decency…it is disrespectful not to [uprate pensions].’" https://citywire.com/funds-insider/news/breakthrough-for-frozen-pensioners-living-abroad/a877900 Oliver Letwin, the Tory minister agreed and proposed a partial uprating. But that would be a disaster for several reasons. There's no excuse for any of this but I won't hold my breath on anything happening. -

Or maybe you could read the thread properly. I did quote the source in the third post. Clearly some people didn't read it so I posted it in a abbreviated form with highlighted text to show what I was referring to. Hence me saying " A few highlights" and putting text in inverted commas. I'm quite happy to cut and paste factual information that I've linked to. I accept your humble apology. 🙂 -
I don't believe that for one minute. Showing the rainbow colours. Putting "overthe rainbow", alluding to the LGBT symbol. Calling it a cult Alluding to grooming, which isn't pedophilia anyway. Citing registered charities that have been going for years, with absolutely no evidence of grooming. I've looked at the first two organizations and they both fully engage with parents in the process. Now what could be purpose of these leaflets I wonder? Clearly they want get them shut down because they support LGBT youth. I think they might be better off looking elsewhere.

Sadly I have very little hair these days. Thanks for your concern though.
