You assume it’s going to be used against Drones. It’s first impact is to deny airspace to Russian aircraft.. -

No Russian at the receiving end of a shell from a Challenger Tank is going to regard it as a ‘token gesture’. -

It’s certainly become a thing with those who can’t afford to eat regular meals. -

Except you missed those of us who are personally financially secure but have empathy for those who are not. So let’s split this two ways as you suggest: Those who have a history of empathy in their expressed views and those who have a history of expressing views defined by callousness. -

UK pensions are amongst the lowest in Europe, but they are supported by a range of means tested benefits (free TV licenses being an example). And yes getting to see a Dr is not easy, I’ve frequently commented on the fact, but it’s an issue that effects all, including pensioners. I’m spending much of my time here in the UK between Doctor surgeries, hospitals and pharmacies dealing with a pensioner’s health issues. I’ll let you know if you tell me something I don’t know. -

Pensioners also receive welfare supplements to their income, by example; help with housing costs, additional winter fuel allowances, free bus passes, free TV licenses, free prescriptions, attendance allowances, mobility allowances. Pensioners are well cared for in the UK. -

Indeed, my bad. I was pointing out the nonsense of comparing prices from Thailand with those on the UK when the topic of discussion is the UK. Others were confused and thought Thailand prices were somehow applicable. Thanks for pointing out my error. -

That you can’t get past your ‘I’m all right Jack’ mindset doesn’t provide any insights into the causes of poverty in the UK. It might, for example, occur to you that very many people have incomes lower than yours. Millions of people in the UK can’t afford to eat regular meals, it has nothing at all to do with your income or your need to preen yourself. -

I think the topic is about millions of people going hungry, not people on higher salaries than you ‘struggling’, but let me check. Oh yes, I’m correct. -

I do feel qualified to say the price of food in Thailand is an irrelevance in a topic discussing hunger in the UK. -

No, because I normally live in Thailand. I arrived here last week. Nice try though.
