Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
You are talking rubbish. The legislation that denies an uprated pension is covered in this "The Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) Regulations 1975" It should be noted that there is no reference to a "state pension" as technically it doesn't exist. It is a term coined by the government to promote their agenda. This is the applicable text, Sect 5, para 3, sub para (c) Application of disqualification in respect of up-rating of benefit 5.—(1) Where regulations made in consequence of an order under section 124 of the Act(up-rating of benefits) provide for the application of this regulation to any additional benefit becoming payable by virtue of that order, the following provisions of this regulation shall, subject to regulation 12 below and the provisions of those regulations, have effect in relation to the entitlementto that benefit of persons absent from Great Britain. (2) In this regulation— (a) references to additional benefit of any description are to be construed as referring to additional benefit of that description which is, or but for this regulation would be, payableby virtue (either directly or indirectly) of the said order; and (b) “the appointed date” means the date appointed for the coming into force of the said order. (3) Where a person is not ordinarily resident in Great Britain immediately before the appointed date the provisions of these regulations (except this regulation) shall not, unless and until he becomes ordinarily resident in Great Britain, affect his disqualification while he is absent from Great Britain for receiving — (a) in the case of a woman who immediately before the appointed date was a married woman and had not retired, any additional Category B retirement pension, if immediately before that date her husband had retired and was not ordinarily resident in Great Britain; (b) in the case of a woman who immediately before the appointed date is a widow, any additional Category B retirement pension, if her husband had died before the appointed date; (c) in any other case, any additional retirement pension of any category, if that person had retired or had otherwise become entitled to a retirement pension before the appointed date; (d) any additional widow's benefit if her husband had retired or died be-before the appointed date; (e) any additional child's special allowance if her former husband had died before the appointed date. The legislation applies to everyone absent from the UK. The government however created exemptions to the legislation for certain situations. The legality of that is another matter. -

Politics Supreme Court Dismisses Lawsuit Against Thaksin Shinawatra
File photo for reference only In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court has once again dismissed a lawsuit against former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is also the father of current Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and a prominent figure in the Pheu Thai Party. The lawsuit, brought forth by former lawmaker Charnchai Israsenarak, accused Thaksin and the Corrections Department of unlawfully circumventing legal procedures. Thaksin, a billionaire and influential political figure, had previously been sentenced to eight years in prison for power abuse during his tenure as prime minister. However, this sentence was reduced to one year under a royal pardon. The controversy arose when the Corrections Department transferred Thaksin to a Police Hospital VIP ward, citing health concerns, without obtaining prior court approval—an action Israsenarak claims amounted to a contempt of court. Despite these allegations, the Supreme Court judges ruled that the Corrections Department's post-conviction actions fall outside the court's jurisdiction. As a result, no further hearings will take place, effectively exonerating Thaksin and the Corrections Department officials from these charges. This marks the third attempt by Charnchai Israsenarak to hold Thaksin accountable in court since 2023, each time met with dismissal. The case has stirred public debate, with suspicions that Thaksin orchestrated a health-related ruse to avoid imprisonment. Thaksin's case highlights intricate dynamics in Thailand's legal and political landscape, as well as the ongoing public discourse about justice and accountability among high-profile figures.

Russia Dismisses Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Offers 3 Day Ceasefire
Sure mate. If someone isn't fully pro-Ukrainian they must be pro-Russian. Extremely simplistic outlook and one that's well suited to ridiculous comments like yours. There is absolutely no bias in saying that Russia has the upper hand in the war. It's factual. Facts do not have bias. The Kursk Oblast incursion failed. This is a verifiable fact. See the war maps I previously posted. As I said a fact cannot be biased. -
