Cut heating allowances for pensioners?

Too hot out there for me ... had to come in for while.
Labour say they will cut the winter fuel allowance to better off pensioners if they win the election and that will save the country one hundred million pounds a year.
A hundred million a year sounds quite a lot until you realise this government are borrowing three hundred and fifty million pounds a day.
That makes the hundred million quid a whole eight hours less of borrowing a year!

As the saying goes Jack, every little helps.

I would agree!...Some live off their partners anyway and have their electric billls payed for them etc...Help should only be provided to those in genuine need and not the leeches!
