I don't know what you call animal abuse, but one person in my Thai family keeps her cats locked up in a small cage and only let out ones a day, but puts them on a leash. I find it disgusting, but what would I know? I am just a Farang.
There is a flipside to that.
A ruling in the 1970s meant that 6th Formers receive a NI credit. No credit is paid while in full time university education.
So someone could go to Uni, progress to an advanced degree, land a job in the Middle East. Work the next 40 years in Kuwait, tax free. At the end of it all, buy a home in the old country and retire there, to live out a very comfortable existance. From day 1; full access to the NHS, despite having practically contributed nothing to it.
British expats might continue to pay income and other taxes, but they haven't paid any VAT.
A bigger issue is how the state pension is funded, or any of the state pensions, eg MOD pensions.
There are also 4 different NHSs, with differing access rules, because of the powers that have been devolved.
So, you couldn't let VE day go without clickbaiting for something that a tiny minority cmaim.... I think mods are more concerned about traffic to the site than facts and genuine stories
Of course they will, they're always mad at the English. If you're talking about Buckfast though, thats rarely sold in pubs in the Scotland even. It wouldn't make it here unless TAT wanted to focus on attracting that demographic.
