Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

Never mind guys, by cutting the benefits for pensioners they will be able to increase the expenses paid to MPs and possibly increase the daily attendance fee for those in the House of Lords.
We are easy game for Labour's exploits but it will never be them that has done things. We shall be inundated with the £22 million black hole for the whole term of this Labour governement. Even the Gawthorpe black hole doesn't cost that much.

Pensioners who need the money will receive the winter payments. People who can afford to go on cruises to escape the winter hiatus won't. Seems more than fair to me.
