To think those OAPs that have just lost their WFA should commit a crime? get released early into a budget heated hotel

i voted labour - very sorry now - I can’t get over that some OAPs will really suffer this winter whilst we are releasing prisoners, some of whom will be put up in hotels at the state payers expense

And don’t forget the train drivers. They’ll be able to afford all manner of lovely things to keep them warm in winter. All of our taxes paying for that too.

And the politicians - they get all of their energy bills paid for, by tax payers. Thousands of pounds apparently (in the paper today). Rachel Reeves claims a fortune.

The Labour Party are a horrible horrible hypocritical lying piece of work.

We must know different pensioners. The ones I know are bringing in the equivalent of a c.40k salary with no mortgage, childcare or commuting costs. They are better off than most of the working people I know. Means testing ( via penaion credit) is a much better approach

You are conflating two separate issues. Your post is ridiculous.

The thinking here is so mixed up that it’s not worth unravelling.
