Been a long-known fact that certain ''legal practices'' were in many not ways operating in any way legally. No doubt the Guardian readers will be out all waving their virtue flags and screaming about freedoms etc.

The funny thing is, all those self-righteous rabbles never seem to be able, or in fact willing to house illegal immigrants. Suppose the cost of their principles has an adverse effect on their suburban middle-class status and their social lives.

Yet the UK government and the civil service still maintain they cannot or will not pay the current rate of state pensions to some half a million pensioners worldwide Those pensioners are perceived as living in the wrong countries.

The UK government continues to steal money from a target class of its state pensioners, the only government in the world to do so.
