State pension should be stopped to *anyone* who is not resident in the UK. I understand there may be much outcry but it has a good economic reason. They may ( on the whole ) not have much disposable income, but they are contributors into UK economic activity, so the real cost of a pension paid to a uk resident is less.
I paid for my state pension you cry, its my right to take it where I like. In truth you didn't, you contributed a proportion to it, other UK residents also contributed to your state pension.
Edit, in answer to brompo's post, yes it affects partners who are uk resident/nationals as well.
