This feels painfully accurate.

Why can't the airport / airline tell people this now?

This government has said the UK is "the destination of choice" for asylum seekers in Europe. That is simply untrue.

Now saying: claims in the UK are rising, while they are falling across Europe. Accurate of Germany (the destination of choice), of France (still more claims than UK), but not Spain

A visible lack of control of boats in the Channel, and of the asylum system in hotels is a problem

More control is needed: controlled routes for asylum with closing irregular routes can shift

This over-spun pull factors case likely to have marginal effects on control, numbers + public confidence

Well, it could be much worse.

Yeah, most places I go seem to be implementing a verification system.

Assuming you mean the last thing, no. It makes no sense to me.

Ok - but it still isn't "old" data. You've fixated on what looks like a less than £100 per month difference, to say the OP was using "old data."

It is literally the data from HMG's website as to the "maximum pension."

The fact some people are old enough to have a better deal doesnt seem important.

That's my point. In the *old* systems, there are ways to get more.

The OP is talking about the system most working people will face. They didn't use old numbers. They used the current ones.

I have a full NI history. The Government has said that's my maximum state pension when I reach 67.

If I have other, non state, pensions that isn't really the point.
