Hello to new followers 👋 I have two settings: nature photos from around County Antrim and rants about crap mental health services.

You’re very welcome to stay around for either/ both.

New: At least 71% of those who had Child Benefit suspended were in fact legitimate beneficiaries who had not emigrated.

That figure may rise, as 23% of cases remain open. Only 5% been found to be fraudulent so far.
