The UK pension is really pathetic if you compare to Australian German US pensions for example. To freeze UK pensions just because you live in a different country is unjust and unfair.

Shouldn't be that difficult for police to catch this person who has clearly got an eagle tattoo on back

Smoke pollution and PM 2.5 what you need to know. Every year during the post agricultural harvest season, normally January to April, much of south east Asia suffers heavy smoke pollution which is seriously bad for your health & global warming. In some areas the smoke season starts as early as November and goes through to May. Even if you are a fit person exposure will eventually begin to damage your health. The smoke pollution, often called haze, comes typically from burning crop residue as well as from forest fires and is up to 10 times more harmful to humans than particles released from other sources, such as car exhausts. The World Health Organisation recommends that in the short-term the PM 2.5 should be no higher than 25, and no more than 5 for long-term exposure. These levels are in micrograms per ml of air. Tens, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of people are now suffering from haze induced illnesses, including those who have lived a healthy life style and not smoked. Many suffer symptoms like coughing, choking, asthma, vomiting, sore eyes and sinus issues. It can affect your breathing, sleep, lead to cancers, heart and lung diseases and even premature death. Unfortunately in the short term at least the burning will continue so its absolutely important people understand the effects of exposure and take precautions. When the smoke level goes over you are advised by the WHO to wear a mask equivalent to a double layered 3M N95 when outside your home. 24-Hour PM2.5 Levels (μg/m3) PM 2.5 Air Quality Index 0 to 12.0 Good 12.1 to 35.4 Moderate 51 to 100 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups 101 to 150.4 Unhealthy When inside your home you are advised to keep your windows and doors closed and run air purifiers so the level drops below 5. The only real way to monitor pollution is to have your own PM 2.5 meter or air filter with built in PM 2.5 meter. You, your family and children are at risk if you don't take care. https://www.blf.org.uk/taskforce/data-tracker/air-quality/pm25
