Fighting to end the cruel & unjustifable impoverishment and unfair punishment of Britain's 'frozen' pensioners abroad. #EndFrozenBritishPensions
Joined March 2012
@guardian @DrAyshaRaza Already on the bottom of of the OECD list of how countries treat their pensioners. Can you get any lower than FREEZING one of the lowest pension of the "civilised" world??🔰

Holy sh*t. @WabKinew's government just made using data to increase prices an unfair business practice. This is historic for Canada. *Proposed bill bans suppliers from charging higher prices to certain consumers based on personalized or algorithmically determined information.

Contrary to what the Premier says - this is NOT about constituency calls. This is about who has influence over Premier Doug Ford and whether his cell phone is used for unregistered lobbying. #onpoli

The Ford government appears to be silent on how much its years-long battle to protect the premier’s cellphone records from release has cost the taxpayer, as it moves to change the law and potentially nullify its latest legal defeat. https://t.co/3lsRwN0G7t

Since 2022, provincial lawyers have worked untold hours to block attempts to access the government calls Ontario Premier Doug Ford makes and receives on his personal phone.

💔 21 dialysis nurses cut at UHN (17 full-time, 4 part-time). Many spent their entire careers caring for patients whose lives depend on dialysis. Hospitals borrowing to pay staff while Ford gov’t spends billions elsewhere. It guts me It guts Ontario @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP

Happy Birthday PM @MarkJCarney! Another year closer to collecting your UK State Pension — but if you collect it in Canada, it will be frozen. Over 100,000 pensioners in Canada face this discrimination every year. ❄️ Canada believes in fairness. Let’s fix this.

#OnThisDay 1976: That’s Life took a compact umbrella, which was proving to be particularly tricky to use, onto the high street to see if anyone could actually open it. Forget perfecting your wrist action, it’s all in the knees!...

It’s St David’s Day and in 1996 Blue Peter invited members of the Royal Regiment of Wales, into the studio to demonstrate their St David’s Day tradition of making the newest and youngest recruits eat a raw leek. In this case the new recruit was presenter Tim Vincent.

#OnThisDay 1935: Voluntary driving tests were introduced by the UK government, with mandatory tests enforced later that year. Quite how you learnt was up to you and in 1960 BBC News showed a car simulator which allowed learners get a feel for the road from the safety of indoors.

The quiet beauty of an English country lane. Hedgerows older than many cities. Footpaths walked for centuries. Not every part of Britain is loud or crowded.
