  1. Yes. But think carefully about doing do. If you don’t take the 25% tax free lump sum then your monthly pension payments are each 25% tax free, the impact is significant over just a few years. If you’ve not done so check your state pension NI contributions and give careful consideration to what address you give HM Gov.
  2. The reason the UK fought the Falklands war was the then Thatcher Government was in its knees, tge Argentinian invasion played directly into Thatcher’s need for a distraction. She, for the first time in British military history, took the victory parade, normally presented to the Monarch and went to the polls on the post Falklands war polling boost. The ‘natural resources’ argument came after the war.
  3. Well apart from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1984/03/07/us-aid-to-britain-in-falklands-war-is-detailed/6e50e92e-3f4b-4768-97fb-57b5593994e6/
  4. Put all this evidence in a court of law under oath and penalty of perjury.
  5. He certainly will if the ‘Party-gate’ inquiry results in him being ejected from Parliament. The bigger issue though is the tepid response from Johnson and the ERG. Further evidence of the post Brexit infection point having been passed.
  6. It wasn’t the crimes she committed that gave her the choice of ending her life.
  7. It’s not an injustice. Even if the cyclist had no right to be on the path, the pedestrian had absolutely no right to cause her death. Perhaps an examination of what’s behind her and your antagonism towards cyclists is in order.
  8. Contraception, yep, that’s next on the GOP list: https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/21/texas-congress-contraception/
  9. We know what a whistleblower is thank you. We also know what conspiracy is. And we are being presented with yet another GOP fake investigation.
  10. Those Republican accusations of media collusion and bias turned out to be a confession. There’s a surprise.
  11. Never mind the exchange rate, look at the growth and productivity. Down the pan!
  12. Finland is in Scandinavia, their stance is more relevant to Scandinavia.
  13. There are alternatives to ‘Swastikas’. Complete deregulation by wiping out thousands of laws and regulations without Parliamentary oversight being an example
  14. Johnson is not happy with the deal, but has he any political power left to do anything about it, he certainly appears to have accepted divergence isn’t going to happen. The extremists in the ERG are oddly quiet and the DUP has yet to respond. This is the problem with people who only know how to break things. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/02/rishi-sunak-brexit-deal-under-pressure-after-opposition-from-boris-johnson-and-dup
  15. Up to your usual efforts to drag the discussion off track. Perhaps we should pay attention to what Government ministers have to say about the impact of Brexit on the UK economy: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2023/feb/14/rishi-sunak-tory-conservatives-labour-china-latest-politics-news-updates
  16. The variety of claims for what the Referendum was about grows by the day.
  17. I can spot ignorance when I see it. Especially ‘Little Englander ‘ ignorance.
  18. That (putting it politely ) is a gross misrepresentation of fact: https://www.hrreview.co.uk/hr-news/union-members-earn-tens-of-thousands-more-than-others/140552
  19. No, you are wrong. And you are trying to dodge the fact you’ve been spotted.
