'People with Pakistani passports who have been here for two years can vote in British parliamentary elections' How can that be right?

And furthermore, any UK resident above state pension age can apply for Pension Credit.

Pension Credit gives entitlement to a plethora of other 'benefits' that people merely on the State Pension cannot get.

Note 'resident', not 'citizen', meaning recently arrived foreign old codgers can be better off than people who have worked here all their lives.

How is that better off? That would be equal at most and ignores all of the contribution factors.

You haven't quite got the hang of this truth thing, have you.

Anyone can apply for just about anything.
Whether or not they get it is a different matter.

I applied for a lottery win. I told them I'd taken part but I'd lost my ticket.
I didn't get the win.

That's a Himmytwist! The occupied towns of the north have endless numbers of ancient Pakistani women, recently arrived, having never worked here, cannot and never will speak English; brought over the join the family on the gravy train! (Or is it the curry train?)

Benefits treats: how Britain became a freeloader’s paradise

Plastered around Westminster this Easter were adverts for the Tower of London. ‘The perfect place for troublemakers – pre-book now,’ the poster read. ‘Members go free.’ So too – near enough – do those on Universal Credit (UC).

Himmy, those are your ideas, not mine.

We have seen the State Pension Age rise from 65 to 67 (60 to 67 in the case of women), with constant threats of further rises , plus government 'nudge' propaganda telling young people that there will be no pension for them in the future.

The State Pension is unaffordable because 1) Much of it is given to people who have not paid for it and 2) The money paid in is not invested, as it would be in a private scheme.
