In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K. Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.

The correct decision for the Israel v Ireland game is that Israel should be banned from UEFA. We don't want War Criminals, ALL the countries need to get together and ban Israel from even entering their countries, then Israel won't be able to get to the game and THEY will forfeit.
