Prisoners party and Labour vote for cuting the winter fuel payment

[baggieal]

I've read somewhere that 25% of pensioners are millionaires. Its probably taking into account property, but still. We're giving millionaires £300 to heat their house. Is this fair?

For what its worth, I completely agree with removing the WFA from pensioners. Who are getting a huge uplift in their pensions anyway from next year.

Out of everyone who has suffered financially, pensioners have been hit the least hardest. It’s time they share the burden with everyone else.

I do agree with you - why give pensioners £300 and they need it due to being financially comfortable. You could go further - why do the over 60’s get free prescriptions if they are still working and financially comfortable? Surely this is a waste of NHS funds? Why do financially comfortable folk get state pensions when their assets could be over let’s say 1 million? Do they need it?

Who ruined the old state grammar school system ie the 11+ entry for bright kids and introduced university fees? Hint - it was not the Tories!
