Steve Allen on LBC said this recently. Just his wage from LBC as he's on 7 days a week will be 6 figures and he bought his house in London 30 years ago for a few grand.
He's got a disposable income that 99% of the population would love but he's demanding to still get the state to give these for free.
He has diabetes type two and will often go from talking about all the crap food he has gorged on to how everything for his diabetes (medicine, foot care, sliming jab) is all totally free.
I have no issue with people that can afford prescriptions or travel cards getting it for free. And it wouldn't be cheap to just give it to people that aren't higher rate taxpayers.
Most pensioners voted to leave the EU even though they were told this would mean an emergency budget to remove these.
Aibu to just think people like him are selfish?
This isn't a boomer bashing thread, my parents and most I know that are well would love to not have some of these benefits and public services invested into instead.

To not understand why rich people "fight tooth and nail to keep free prescriptions and tube travel"
