It could be worse than that, they spend our money on fuelling death and destruction around the world, in the name of democracy (lol, start at home first). There are lines that each of us need to draw where we say "enough is enough" and when they are crossed we take non-violent action to resist our government abusing it's power and damaging our society, attacking those that are easy targets, like pensioners. Personally I don't think any of our pensioners should be the target, whether they work in a foodbank or have been lucky enough to have the time to play golf, we should respect our old and ensure they are looked after not have to worry about heating their homes or being stabbed to death whilst walking their dog.
