"He decided not to call the police immediately due to the darkness potentially hindering the investigation" He did WHAT???

You are so funny - but it does make me smile. Underestimate Trump and American voters at your peril.

He's a traitor and very lucky Russia has let him go - if they were half as bad as some of the posters would have you believe he would have been killed a long time ago.

It was in jest, bro... as you lefties always say, Trump is the felon - you lefties lose your sense of humour very quickly, unfortunately. Relax, have a beer, and smile a bit.

I only plan one year - grab the 12/13% as I don't want to lose the 500,000 more than one year. For me, too, it's a bonus as I already have other pensions.

He was not the real father so not sure about this article. Better to chase the scumbag who made her pregnant.

I don't believe Tim 'save the last' Walz was convicted in a GOP court, and so your nonsense is a false equivalency. We cannot compare political Banana Courts with the old style of American justice, which has all but died off.

We believe him! He is an honest and wonderful human being who only serves Thailand. Faithfully honouring promises made before the election to support MFP.

Shouldn't it be "Tim Walz convicted felon speaks"?

Make some money in any way you can! treacherous imho

Yes but if you are 66 after you move that's the date (if you claim it).

I think Ukraine will get worse, Gaza worse and maybe a war with Iran. Taiwan and NK are still lin the mix. Labour Govt will be useless economically but will have to maintain triple lock for now at least. I think 6%, likely, hopefully, 7%, but then add on 5.8% for deferral. https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/how-much-could-the-state-pension-pay-in-2025-aY51o7M9wIBS Seven Cameron, the pensions director at Aegon, believes pensioners are in line for a 5.7 per cent rate hike next year. He explained: "For the April 2024 increase, earnings growth in 2023 produced an inflation-busting 8.5 per cent increase. "In April 2023, a spike in inflation the previous year led to a record-breaking 10.1 per cent boost to the state pension.

I lost approximately 500,000 and gained 75,000pa in my lifetime. So, in approximately 6.6 years I break even. I receive an extra 6,000 a month (75,000pa) until I go up in smoke. Anyway, that's what I'm going to do, and as always, DYOR. The rise might be less than anticipated, so it might take a little longer, but I think waiting one year makes sense for me. Also, we will be clearer on the tax situation.

You get the annual increase until you decide to take it. Last year, it was 10.1%. I'd like to lock in a similar figure, but I don't believe the triple lock will last forever. "Your extra payment will be based on the State Pension you’re owed at whichever is later of" In my case, I am 66 this year, 2024—this is the latter of the other two dates mentioned.

No I think yours are. Last year's rise was 10.1%, and you add the 5.8% for the deferral. You are missing a MAJOR point. The pension is frozen when you take it, and these years are triple lock - nothing to do with 2.5%. If next years rise is 6/7% as projected payback 6.6 years.

"Far-right violence" but we can't say "Muslim violence" right? nah that would be racist, unfair and disrespectful

I understand your view but believe you are wrong - here's why: The pension is frozen - next year should be another good rise - probably 6 to 7% The pension is increased by 1% every nine weeks I will delay for one year only—that is a rise of 12%, which I think is worth taking. Also, I am waiting for the decision on whether we will all be taxed here. It will take 5 to 6 years to break even.

I hope you are right and leave us alone.

You miss the point. The poster asked why I don't donate to orphans and spend it on drinks. I have the right to reply to his stupidity and presumption. Thank you.

No, but will they see our pensions coming into bank accounts?

Why can't you condemn any nutters on the left or the right? I do, and I'm sure most of us do.

I agree on morality and ethics - truth, but where is it? You seem to swallow, hook, line and sinker, anything you are fed from MSM.

10 or 11, the article can't seem to decide. That aside sounds like starstruck madness.
