Last year 171 Wigan pensioners died during last winters extremely long and cold winter due to being unable to afford to heat their homes.
Now the ConDem governement, like the previous government, have gone for our Pensioners pockets and purses.
"With the average British fuel bill climbing to well over £1,000 a year – for many pensioners the largest bill they have to pay all year.[...]Thanks to New Labour and the ConDems our pensioners are subsidising Immigrants, and Foreigners who are Non-Resident in Britain.
A household is defined as being fuel poor if it has to spend 10 per cent or more of its income on paying to keep the home adequately warm. [...]
What sort of country is this that allows British pensioners to die in winter to due poverty but is willing to keep Non-Resident - Non British - Non Taxpayers warm in their home countries in Europe or any foreign national living in Europe ?
Why are they allowed the right to claim Winter Fuel Allowance?
"you were subject to immigration control and did not qualify for help from the Department for Work and Pensions
you lived in a care home, an independent hospital or Ilford Park Polish Resettlement Home (and had done so for the previous 12 weeks or more) and you were on Pension Credit, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Only TRAITORS and the ENEMIES of BRITAIN would allow this to happen.
