People who can afford to go on cruises were giving it to service charities anyway because Veterans do not get the help that they should, in fact, they are persecuted more often than not whilst lots of criminals are free to roam around this earth because of a certain 'Peace Agreement' that a certain Labour Prime Minister regularly boasts about along with his quest to make Britain a multicultural society by opening the doors to anyone who could pay to get on a dinghy to get here.

You have also ignored the number of pensioners who have had to return to work just to make ends meet and for whom the payment was becoming more of a necessity because they do not qualify for Pension Credit. They found work and are now paying tax to help fund the payment of winter payments to others as well as funding pay rises for millions in the public sector.
The claim was that 'We will not do anything to affect the working class' ---they forgot to add -----'unless they are pensioners who have had to return to work to afford things'
I first voted in March 1966, came from a very socialist family, however, any belief I had in politics disappeared many years ago thanks to the self-interest of too many politicians. This self-interest will continue no matter who rules the roost.
Twenty four days ago we were being promised 'Utopia' now we are seeing 50 more immigrants arriving each day than up to the end of June because they obviously believe that they will be well looked after when Labour process them within days of arrival.

Lies and more lies and all believed by the gullible.
