The headline is extremely misleading. There are 2.4million UK citizens with passports that are more than 10 years old. How many have already applied for a new one? How many have less than 6 months vadility so can travel anyway? How many are actually considering travelling to an EU country? How many have kept up with the rules and actually know they can't travel to an EU country until they get a new passport. There is no chaos.

You are the only person who seems to not understand. I'll leave it at that 😏 -

Why not? You want to means test to cut pensions. I'm just saying it's only fair to means test how to raise them too. Equality and all. "laff" is a regional accent. -

No. That is not the question. The question is, why have you not kept up with the thread before another, failed attempt at trolling. You've let yourself down, again. -

I'll wait until you grasp the basic concepts of English. Then you'll understand. -

That's all well and good but means test it all ways. Those that have never been in hospital get more. Those with no kids get more, they've not used education facilities they've paid for. Those that have been on 40% tax get more. They've paid in more. Just a few ideas. "but it is the Govts. task to look out for the wider good is it not?" It's an individual's job to look out for themselves, is it not? Means test why someone has reached pensionable age with nothing . Check their working history and their spending habits. Why should someone whose been irresponsible with their money most of their working lives be rewarded? -

Without it I'll need to be less frivolous. I like the idea of frivolity as I get older. I've worked hard in my life. Looking forward to having more than enough money to do what I want. I could do without state pension but, seeing as it's there, I plan to enjoy it. -

No. Not political. I'm saving and planing for my retirement. Should be in a few years when I'm 60. I'll have enough to have a good time, help the kids out when they want to buy a property and leave a nice inheritance. When my state pension arrives when I'm 67 it will be mine, to do with what I wish. -

As has everyone. Some more than others. By all means give your pension away. Just don't expect others to. Should everyone who can afford private healthcare not use NHS? Should everyone who can afford private education for their kids not use government run schools?
