In closing 2,000 post offices, how many protests have they received? Have they looked at any, or just put them into a waste basket?
Or, is it a case of follow my leader?
What have they done for old age pensioners?
To say 80 per cent use banks is rubbish. If people are as old as me they just live from one week to the next and don't have confidence in banks.
Bus passes have their use, after 9.30am. How many of us know how to use the machines in banks, or can stand in a queue for a long time?
Adding £50 to the winter payment is a one-off, and one quarter costs £250. What about the next?
That £10 Christmas box came into being in 1974. What's it worth now?
Why weren't energy prices capped? How many OAPs die of hypothermia?
As for the bus passes, a lot of towns are not going to acknowledge these. Also, it defeats the purpose if there's no, or few, buses after six. It costs £4 for a taxi.
The OAPs' centres are being closed down, but they possibly went there to be fed and kept warm.
What did we work for? To be treated as second-class people and keep so many councillors or MPs in luxury, with two homes and all mod cons.
Do they have a conscience, or are they content to live at taxpayers' and OAPs' expense? What do they do to earn the money?
