It doesn't bother me the fact that you can only travel in cattle class like a student. Up to you. 

 

Once you try first class you will never go back. 

Great News from the front end cesspit!

It gives the rest of us peasants the privilege of never having to meet, sit beside or, God forbid, have to converse with you or your ilk!

The Church probably owns more land than the Monarchy, are you going to trash them too...?  🤔

The UK does not need your Communism............

I agree but which "Church"?

I would hate to think what the share out is between the CoE, CoS, RC etc!

wealth back to the english people

It shows how much you know about the UK and it's Royalty!

The UK Royalty is not just about England!¬!

In 1606 King James V1 of Scotland became King James 1 of England and in 1707 the parliaments united and Ireland joined and it became the UK in 1800 etc etc!

When is the truth negative? An honest objective opinion.  

So that is your erudite answer to my question "When did you last live here?" is it?

I lived there for over 10 years.. Still have fond memories. But, Thailand is not a retirement destination for Western expats. I try to do my part.

When did you last live here?

So if you no longer live here why are you posting negative comments here?

maybe if a few trans took up the case the government may take a different view.

You might be right with that approach!

500,000ish overseas non trans(etc)  pensioners have no voice but as you suggest get 2 of every letter in the LGBGT+ etc movement involved and watch the earth move! (no pun intended)

nobody claims winter fuel allowance.

WRONG!

You do not normally need to claim if you are receiving any other pension benefits but if you are not claiming/receiving any pension benefits then you MUST claim!

Payments are usually made automatically between November and December. If you receive any other benefits, you should get your Winter Fuel Payment at the same time.

If you haven’t received your payment by mid-January, it’s best to call the office that pays your benefits.

Those who don’t receive other benefits, who did not get a payment last winter or have deferred their state pension since their last Winter Fuel Payment will need to make a claim. You can do this by calling the Winter Fuel Payment Centre on 0800 731 0160 or by filling in a form that can be downloaded from the gov.uk website.

From your link:-

 

Full Fact writes: "A lot depends here on how to interpret which country people are 'coming directly from'.

"It could be argued, for instance, that as the people crossing the channel are coming directly from France - which is not the country they initially fled - they don’t have the right to claim asylum in the UK.

I suggest you provide the full quote in future and do not edit out the last sentence!

The full quote is;

Full Fact writes: "A lot depends here on how to interpret which country people are 'coming directly from'.

"It could be argued, for instance, that as the people crossing the channel are coming directly from France - which is not the country they initially fled - they don’t have the right to claim asylum in the UK.

"However, in 1999 a UK judge ruled that 'some element of choice is indeed open to refugees as to where they may properly claim asylum'.

I have highlighted your omission above!
