Civil or Legal.......?

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/oct/29/high-court-to-rule-on-right-to-civil-partnership

We've got these Image result for Civil Partnershipsand now am I supposed to beleive that in the UK a 'straight' union, without marriage is not allowed?
Here is a link to the general situation on the subject in Europe
http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/family/couple/registered-partners/index_en.htm
Now, as I recall, the last information I had was that boy meets girl or the reverse, they live together as a couple, not married....if they are organised they make wills and testaments, financial arrangements mutually or each for the other, and I did think there was the possibility to enter into a legal contract of 'Civil Union' where all these things were covered, without marriage!
Personally I am obliged to do it all myself since the German Pensions do not accept re-marriages without cutting the 'Widows' pension I get!
This doesn't seem right, but since I live in France where Civil Unions ARE allowed, and since I get no pension governed by the French rules, I guess I could enter a union of this type without risking my German widowers pension!
Certainly, in the case of my death, my 'Concubine' (that's what it's called in French) would not continue to get my German Pension ......It's all very complicated...

A Scotsman. Essentially   speaking, one of the 'foundling' countries of the 'Union of Great Britain',also known as the 'United Kingdom'or simply 'UK',Scotland is currently (2021) seriously reflecting the withdrawal from the 'Union of Great Britain'and reclaiming the statute of an Independent Nation. Scotland - Ecosse - Schottland. The aim of this is simple - it is wished, by the Scots, to rejoin the Union of European States, known as the EU, from which they were illegally forced to retire by the illegal Referendum, known as 'Brexit'-which forced British Union Citizens to vote on the subject of leaving the EU,or staying in it - Well over 50% of the Scots voted 'remain in Europe' An overwhelming result. The UK Government in Westminster,nonetheless,used the fact that marginally over 50% of ALL British voted to leave, hence 'Brexit', against the will of the Scottish people and the Scottish Government. In Scotland, the National

The Empire is dead...Long live the Empire...?

Just what is going on over there in the old Empire land? Once upon a time... HP Sauce has moved to Holland...Dutch treat! Baked beans are leaving too...! Airfix kits bankrupt,but struggling on armed with plastic Spitfires...! The Queen being acted out (better than the original,I understand) by an ageing actress... QEII & Helen Mirren. PMs who can't decide where,when,how & why to disappear... May & Johnson - if they would just go. All in all, since Mr le Marquis' departure, it's been all downhill, which is why He's back, in text, to make you all aware of the damage you are doing. He's staying where He is, all the same - mr le Marquis du Galipot. You can't tell me that Europe isn't infinitely better than a small, lost island, full of arrogant people who insist that everybody else must bow to them, but who they don't really need. Pride & Arrogance, no Prejudice. That's English. The majority of Empire citizens nowadays have a skin colou
