I would think the only Data on the Immigration System is people who they or the Police are actually looking for.
 
I wouldn’t think they have the manpower to collate all the details of who arrives and leaves the U.K, there must thousand if not hundreds of thousands not unless the HMRC or the authorities requested it.
 
Immigration aren’t interested in petty criminals who are defrauding the system of a few hundred pounds I don’t think.
 

As far as I know the you don’t go on a computer system, when they scan your Passport at U.K.all they are doing is making sure that the info on the magnetic strip is the same as on your Passport.
At Newcastle they now have electronic gates at Passport Control so no I.O. looks at your Passport.
As you don’t pass through Immigration when you leave the U.K. they don’t know if you have left the U.K. I travel 3/4 times a year from the U.K to Thailand.
When I my Thai lady departed the U.K last year we didn’t have to go through U.K. immigration, not like Thailand, 90 Day reporting and before exiting you have too pass through Immigration.

There are some taxes we don't continue to pay - vehicle fuel tax and VAT in the shops, for example.

For the first time ever, after getting my number ticket at 11am this morning I walked in to find my number showing so in and out in 2 minutes .....can't beat that.

Well, I believe whenever you go in or out of the UK your passport is scanned into the UK immigration computer system.

If you were a dishonest person and you provided a UK address, had a UK Bank Account and registered on the Electoral Roll how would the Pension Service know you were living abroad ?

 
They want your residential address, not a mailing one. Otherwise, why not just set up a mailing address in the UK instead of Guam?

You don’t have an answer to my question, obviously.

Why do you hope that the EU disintegrates? 

Then tell us the likely outcome!

This was petitioned a few years ago. It went as far as the EU court of human rites and was turned down. Can't remember the reasons given, but I doubt it will ever get reinstated.

Sorry Ivor, you don't understand. Never mind [emoji4]

Kavanaugh was not "famous" when she reported it.  In fact, he had not even been nominated yet when she reported it.

Just downloaded DR Who,
I wont say it was PC but in the first 10 minutes there was a black boy with a white grandad,a female Asian police woman with an Asian boss, and We got to meet the Doctor who is now a woman,well i wanted to watch it ,but did not take to her ,so rip doctor, the last series was not up to much, and this one i think will be the swan song.
Also watched still open all hours, it has not improved,since the last series ,same tired jokes.

Selective memory again, as these happened under both Labour and Conservative governments - remember the miners' strike of 1974 and the three day week? This led to Heath calling his "Who runs the Country" election, and the Great British voting public deciding that the miners did, but no doubt you were happy with that as it was the 'will of the people'.

I agree the youth of today have more opportunities than we did, but that is no excuse for denying them to the youth of tomorrow.

We did not want the latest everything,we saved and went without,it tought us to be strong , in many ways it was easier for us ,but that was because we didnt expect anything,we worked for it.

Yes, I myself admit to being in the first flush of senility, but not so old as to see pre-1973 Britain through rose-tinted spectacles, nor so spiteful as to deny the youth of today the opportunities I was granted.

The joy of working for the govt ,not only an extra pension,but yearly rises as well

I binged over three nights on BODYGUARD......hope there's not a 2nd season. It'd be a waste of money.
NO OFFENCE is a great show. Will wait until S3 finishes to bionge watch that.
At the moment, I'm watching AUS Rake. Many laughs with this loveable but roguish Aussie Rumpole.

Sexual assaults are often reported, but little or not attention is paid to them at the time.   They are reported to parents, to teachers, counselors and sometimes to the police.   In many cases girls are told to just forget it or there is nothing that can be done, especially if there is no physical evidence.   
 
Now, when the perpetrator becomes famous, it comes back to haunt them.   Once their name gets splashed across the television screen and media, they start coming forward.   
 
 

You just don't get it, and some never will.  You're saying that if a 15 year old girl was sexually assaulted, groped, by a classmate/friend she should  have immediately reported it and exposed herself to criticism by her family and peers but it's okay for a 15 year old boy to not tell anyone that he is being bummed by his priest.  Why,because he might be exposed to criticism by his family and friends. It's not the assault that is the problem, it's all of the criticism that they will receive from family and friends..  Crap is crap no matter who does it!
