UK savings for non-doms

If you've been refused renewal of UK bank and building society savings products because you're resident in France, it may interest you that the National Savings "granny bonds" for 65+ paying 2.8 and 4% are available to non-residents from £500 to £40,000 per couple, as well as some other less attractive products like premium bonds.

Thank you for your explanation trunnie! We elderly are so out of touch.

I see the reasoning behind it now, but I promise that I won't let it influence the way that I vote

Perhaps you could also explain the reasoning behind the UK government's changing the rules in order to stop paying the winter fuel allowance to UK pensioners living in France?

It's been raised with the EU Commission who have acknowledged it but say that they can't act until the new rule is enacted in September 2015.
