I am not familiar with the UK social security system but I presume that, as a citizen of UK, you will be collecting some kind of SS payment. Do you think if I jump on a plane go to UK, become an illegal resident of UK, I am entitled to start receiving the UK social security system payments when I turn whatever age you have, 62, or 65? Reasonable people would so No. And I would agree. But the illegals in this country collect. Maybe we should take all the illegals and instead of deporting them, put them on planes to UK <g>.
