  1. I’m expect you might have a particular individual in mind, perhaps someone close or a family member. But it’s a bit of a sweeping generalization once you start to apply that to millions of people living in poverty in the UK of 2024. Don’t you think?
  2. I’m almost inclined (I said almost) to start watching FOX News in order to cut out the idiot middle man.
  3. Or invented and transmitted by sources tasked with the duty.
  4. You obviously didn’t get what you expected from the faux ‘Impeach Biden’ inquiry and have failed to recognize that the same people who lied to you the first time about ‘Biden Crime Family’ and other such talking points, are still lying to you.
  5. I last month helped a friend in the UK sort his UK pension application. First attempt was using the online application, which came against the problem the OP mentions, a request for details of spells spent working/living overseas plus dates. Having added details for three, out of about a dozen, such spells overseas the website page did not offer the option to add more. So we (I on his behalf) called the helpline. After personal details and permission to speak on behalf of the applicant was settled (simply by asking the applicant if Chomper can speak on their behalf), the DWP staff member told me only one period overseas is required. This will trigger a check of the applicant’s NHS record and if periods were spent in the EU will also trigger any rights to EU nation pension rights. So details of one period living and working in EU was given over the phone and the rest of the application completed over the phone in less than 15 minutes. The applicant received his confirmation of pension payment within a ten days of that call. I’ve not heard if he has had any contact regarding EU pension rights. In summary. Use the online application page and where you have a record of working overseas provide just one example, preferably a period of working/living in the EU if you have one.
  6. Republicans desperately seeking anything at all to spice up the nothing burger they are all gagging on.
  7. You’ll find my comment on the matter of Kate’s cancer diagnosis in the thread that has been opened specifically for that sad news. If you feel the need to make use of this awful news to score points off your soap box please leave me out of it.
  8. 14 years of failing to build affordable housing and the previous madness of selling off council houses coming home to roost.
  9. Republicans learning the lesson of the frog and the scorpion.
  10. Not really, the one does not preclude the other.
  11. Dreadful thing for anyone, worse still for a young mother. She has my wishes for this being caught early. Maybe the press can leave her alone for a while, though that’s a slim hope.
  12. A claim that the person who made it refuted when under oath.
  13. And yet you presented this and had absolutely no idea what it was telling you:
  14. You are putting up polls against actual voting. And telling to go back to math school.
  15. Around half the vote of Republicans. To win the election he needs every Republican vote plus a lot of independents. He’s done, stick a fork in him.
  16. You obviously don’t understand these are Registered Republicans who voted. So amongst Registered Republicans in Iowa Trump got around half the vote.
  17. Well that and beating Trump into in 2020.
  18. Getting you back to topic: It seems Trump can’t.
  19. Not deflecting at all. You’re attempting to scapegoat immigrants. You have yet to provide any evidence that they are responsible for the significant rise in poverty in the UK.
  20. Well that ridiculous claim is easily demonstrated to be nonsense: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/newyork/news/press-releases/long-island-mortgage-banker-and-five-others-indicted-in-30-million-bank-fraud-conspiracy
  21. Lying to keep you happy isn’t something I feel inclined to do.
  22. Well they certainly have experience of settling large civil suits: https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-trump-2020-0ac71f75acfacc52ea80b3e747fb0afe
  23. Now you’re getting desperate. Request a thread in the subject.
