rollover Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 State pension amount is changing for Brits next year because of Brexit State pension is set to change for many Brits next year, and it's all down to Brexit. The amount people get paid will be altered, depending on where you live. The UK Government recently announced plans to change the rules on how State Pension is calculated if you move abroad because the UK has now left the EU. There have previously been calls to scrap or modify the triple lock ruling in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, amid fears that it could become too expensive to maintain. manchestereveningnews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two pretty obvious problems with your proposal 1 The people smugglers don't even get in the boats 2 Anyone shooting at unarmed dinghies would end up in jail along with whoever ordered the shooting all the way up the command chain.

That would be an illegal order. I can quote you the regs if you want but basically anyone following it is a numpty and goes to jail. Problem 2 the other non-numpties are now duty bound to prevent civilian casualties by any and all mrans which invariably means possible blue on blue. Problem no3 the hijackers nominate a person to get free passage to steer the boat. He / she is a refugee Problem no4 firing from a helicopter or boat onto a moving boat packed with civilians is a recipe for accidentally killing or injuring others / cause panic and drownings / the bullet won't neatly stop in just what you want a 7.62 will probably drill anyone behind them too. Problem no5 if the others aren't enough the firing on an unarmed refugee boat by state forces at sea would be in violation of maritime and international law and we would be sanctioned / possibly people going to The Hague if we don't jail Problem no6 this isn't the fantasy world of a Bravo Two Zero wet dream and civilians are best not coming up with novel ways to shaft squaddies ta. Apart from telling us how you'd execute a text book cluster****** of My Lai Massacre intent bravo. These are the bits that don't come with a copy of Call Of Duty, its called military law and I needed to know about it to keep my soldiers from doing time if it goes pear-shaped. But as the SBS are in your town go tell them, just not the ones in the pub with a tattoo of SBS and responding to 'action' txts as those are the Walters and they are probably window cleaners. The SBS lads won't be obvious and the real ones will tell you to get stuffed. The SBS were called to a suspected hijack event. They used non-lethal force. Tells how much they like to kill unarmed civilians doesn't it. If this sounds sarcastic and condescending that is the army for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should've been stopped decades ago. Unless there was some kind of pay back scheme where those countries forwarded the NI contributions along with the person of course.

The way it was written it wasn't about dual taxation. It seemed to be, if you'd paid social security in the CANZ countries it counted as NI contribution record if you came to Britain to live, and you can claim the UK old age pension (although why anyone would want to do that I really wouldn't know).

The trouble with these type of theories is you don't know which was the actual reptilian plan. Is Brexit a diversion from the route which will slow them down or was it pre-ordained? Anyhow, if you read Nineteen Eighty-Four, which is practically the manual they are following, Britain is not in Eurasia, it is in Oceania. By leaving the EU and teaming up with USA and CANZUK, we are well on the way to creating Oceania: Oceania (ideology: Ingsoc, known in Oldspeak as English Socialism), whose core territories are "the Americas, the Atlantic Islands, including the British Isles, Australasia and the southern portion of Africa." Eurasia (ideology: Neo-Bolshevism), whose core territories are "the whole of the northern part of the European and Asiatic landmass from Portugal to the Bering Strait." Eastasia (ideology: Obliteration of the Self, also known as Death-Worship), whose core territories are "China and the countries south to it, the Japanese islands, and a large but fluctuating portion of Manchuria, Mongolia and Tibet." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four#Political_geography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scary part is that being double vaccinated with AZ Brexit vaccine only gives you 60% protection against this variant this will mean deaths and worse than that it will have people lose faith in vaccinations, something that can be seen in Russia now who are also in a wave and where 2/3rds population is antivax I predicted another wave 2 months back in this thread, but didn’t realise it hit so quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just a political gain by claiming "we free again" for a few weeks? It is likely the this wave will create another variant, for which the vaccines won't work very well (they are already less effective against Delta). There will be not enough time to vaccine people with updated vaccines before the autumn/winter wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
