On the other hand, in 1982 when Argentina did invade British territory and took the inhabitants hostage we sent a massive military task force, sank various ships, bombed the airport at Stanley and conducted a full scale military invasion.
@MarkSeddon1962
Remind me how many hostages were taken on October 7th that haven't been heard of since. If you were serious you would be saying release the hostages (those who are still alive) but unsurprisingly you don't.

Perhaps read the letter that came in full. You'll find you can defer claiming the pension and it accumulates so that you can either increase your pension at some future date or claim a lump sum. The interest rate was very generous so I deferred it until I was 70.

I think if someone wrote me a business letter starting like that I would certainly remember what I did as a result. Somebody once did and I kept it in a carefully chosen place so when the poo hit the fan I was able to produce it and substantiate what I did as a result.

I used to go into various prisons quite often for work purposes. I was there for a couple of hours. Every time I walked out and walked back to the car park I counted my blessings. Remand prisons are not pleasant places.

In that case there would be a fair number of other people to pay for - maybe a call centre taking bookings. I just had my car serviced and MOT'd. It was in for 2 hours and cost £180. The person who did the work didn't get £90 an hour.

I didn't apply to Oxbridge but someone I went to school with did, and hated it. I went to Bath instead and loved every minute of it. I spent a term in Manchester as part of my sandwich course and realised that was not for me either.

Obviously you never travelled much on British Rail! If punctuality was roughly the same it's only because journey times were significantly slower. Rolling stock was out of the ark and it was often impossible to get a seat.

That isn't true based on their income though. It's simply a meaningless statement based on theoretical house prices. Of course these people will have paid tax and NI throughout their lives on the basis that it would provide these benefits.

I know. I have the same problem with my son (35) to keep all this in proportion. I grew up in the 1950's when killer diseases were common place. Basic hygiene kept us safe then. My gran survived Spanish flu in 1918. A bit of common sense would help a lot.

I've never known an organisation where money didn't go missing, otherwise why would everyone employ auditors?
The problem in the Post Office is that they started from the assumption that everyone was on the fiddle and so they found that everyone who had an issue was.

How can it have been a good plan if the execution, timing and communication (which are all essential elements of a decent plan) were terrible?
In fact, it was a bonkers plan which was unworkable in the real world, as events proved.

England, of course, was colonised by Romans, Danes and various others. Any town with a name ending "by" (Grimsby, Selby etc) was a Danish colony. So was York (Jorvik). Presumably you're proposing the same from Denmark and other northern European countries?

Your "analysis" overlooks the fact that people did pay income tax at a much higher rate in the 1970's than they do now. The State Pension is simply a welfare benefit and people on pensions do pay income tax.. I pay far more in tax than I get back in the form of a state pension.

It is quite amazing that people can think it is OK to say I signed this but I didn't read it. It happens in so many places. I used to personally sign lots of stuff where others would sign a general letter and then run off 500 copies. People said I was eccentric.
@tnewtondunn
This is a ridiculous self deluding narrative. The problem is that the EU failed to work with AZ's production partners to ramp up production. They just sat back and assumed all would be well. The UK Govt worked to support the local AZ production in the UK. That's the difference.

I used to do trade union negotiations for a living. Various things were said on both sides. As I recall nobody ever took offence.

The number of people who are completely unvaxxed is miniscule and most don't test and don't care. The green line - the most vulnerable and most elderly are a very large group who are most likely to die if they get Covid - but the vaccine has prevented that.

There wasn't a "war" in Northern Ireland. The Kosovo and Bosnian issues was all about the break-up of Yugoslavia post-Tito and the decision not to let it dissolve into chaos. The Turkish invasion of Northern Cyprus might qualify (just).

That was the budget over two years. Only £27,000,000 actually got spent. I think £7,000,000 was spent on all those free lateral flow test kits we all had. A lot went into the wages of people processing the swab tests, whatever they were called.
