British pensioners in Teneriffe etc. may need the cold winter payments too....

Anyway, most of them have paid in all their lives, why should they be treated differently simply because when the law was made it wasn't, as usual, drafted properly.

They do, the missus grandma is in one and she gets her winter fuel payment.

is she paying her own care fees?

surely the point is all governments have betrayed the pensioners and allowed them to freeze or starve to DEATH the 300.000 figure is from official sources and not denied by any Govt, sure some payments for cold periods were introduced by Brown at the same time he gave a 10p a week increase in pensions!

Privatised power companies are a rip off thanks to Thatcher and of course Major Blair and Brown one of whom introduced the scheme and the rest who allowed them to carry on c===s the lot of em

Some of that makes sense particularly the Royal parasites, still whats a real solution already its getting COLD food prices are climbing and pensioners are worrying I find it disgusting do you ???????????????

I think fuel prices in general are disgusting, they rise when wholesale prices rise, but dont fall in line when wholesale prices fall, its taken me 3 months for British gas to relenquish thier grip on me as a customer to let me go with Scottish Power who are 30% cheaper (day rate) and 10% cheaper (night rate), 3 months delay means they keep you for a whole season, when they know damn well they cant stop you leaving

but how crazy i now have my electric charged by Scottish Power when im in the midlands and its obviously just a paper-transaction, for profit, once upon a time your nearest supplier (of anything), same as british GAS being involved selling ELECTRIC, every level of admin raises a cost, but we seem to enjoy complicating things

Indeed the Lady of the Night is a murderer aided and abetted by Major Blair and Brown and now of course Cameron and his gobshyte lickspittle Clegg

The thought of lonely uncared for pensioners freezing or starving in the coming months is the ONE issue that makes me think maybe its time for some violence ?

Do you think that by calling people that you don't agree with helps your argument? It just makes you look like a moron.
I assume that by violence you mean that you are happy to incite it but you would be hiding away like a coward if there is any.

The level of interest in our elderly citizen predicament is astounding likewise the quality of debate!

Who was it who said "the measure of any society is the way it treats its most vulnerable" or something similar?

And the measure of our society allowing starvation and hypothermia to reap the elderly amidst plenty is ????????????

Clearly members of this forum care very little, lets hope they do not find themselves in this situation soon, but having read the Casey column I believe many might well do

Lets quote grandad "I am happy"
