UK pensioners wishing to escape the draconian regime of the Labour Government in the UK may wish to consider moving to Glommersträsk in Lapland - touted to be a haven for nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts.

What with the cancellation of the winter fuel payment, a possible withdrawal of the 25% discount on council tax for single-occupiers and the triple lock income guarantee under threat, more pensioners are bound to pack up and leave the UK and spend the substantial gains made from selling their homes elsewhere.

And maybe Glommersträsk might prove to be a viable alternative to becoming a 'bargain brit in the sun' in Benidorm.

Euronews reported that the town - population 200 - is offering up to €900 to help with moving costs.

The only catch is that you need to have children to put into the local primary school to stop it from closing.

So UK seniors need to get busy helping to raise the birth rate.
