Russell Brand Faces Potential Charges as Police Submit File to Prosecutors
Well at least they did convict. In the case of establishment favourites 'sir' Jimmy Savile and 'sir' Cyril Smith they were allowed to get away with it for decades. One a LibDem MP and the other being Thatcher's poster boy, and I don't recall either being Pakistani.

Expats in Thailand urged not to worry about negative income tax
So the poor people will have to pay income tax, with the promise of a possibility that they might get some back. Sounds like a plan to get the poor to subsidise the rich - which would bring Thailand into the 21st cenury.

UK Considers Sending Prisoners to Estonia to Ease Overcrowding Crisis
You cannot determine if a migrant is illegal until they are processed. Once processing is done, if the application fails, the applicant can be deported without problem (as has been happening a lot more recently owing to the increase in number of processors). The boats only started big time when the previous government closed all the 'safe routes' (where applicants were processed off shore) and reduced drastically the number of processors. This stupidity meant it took anything up to 3 years to process instead of a few weeks and led to putting applicants in closed hotels at huge expense. With faster processing and safe routes open, there would be no need to line the hoteliers pockets handsomely as happens now. The UK still needs people to work in the NHS, fruit & veg picking, care workers and hospitality staff - all traditionally done by migrant workers - and it needs fewer people believing that the UK can supply all its employment needs. It hasn't managed that for 5 centuries and idiotic and bigoted thinking won't change that.

UK Winter Fuel Payments Scrapped for Millions Amid Budget Cuts
The big increase started when the Tories closed all the safe routes and ran down the processing of claims. Mind you, the hotelier friends of the tories who had been having a torrid time jumped for joy when their dilapidated and closed hotels could be rented out to the government for outrageously high prices (£120/night with no service and no meals).
