The other side of the coin is that I can take you to see an elderly lady who lives, about 300 metres from me, alone in a very large ‘listed’ building. The property is worth at least £5 million and, as I understand it, she has more (millions) to fall back on. Good luck to her but are we seriously suggesting she should be entitled to the same wfa as poorer pensioners?
I don’t think so…but I do accept some ‘fine tuning’ may be necessary.
Nothing sensible to do with it.
Everyone knows, its something that should be means tested and when minimum wage gets you double what a pensioner gets, the threshold needs to be a lot higher.

Just like your goodself on many occasions, who's in power and who made the decision?
Who gave the train drivers, already on a wage punching above their abilities, just to satisfy Union pay masters?
You can't have it all your own way can you?

Sorry RA, like I mentioned with Boris's wallpaper, 2 tier would be first screaming about that. At least his wall paper donor didn't get a Downing street security pass? WTF is that all about?

Stinks of cronyism and I'll say again. This lot are no different than the Tories. Except oddly, its them attacking the poorer rather than the Tories.
