So about 1750 prisoners have been released early today to ease the overcrowding in our prisons,  but the 2 biggest bandits since Butch and Sundance, (Starmer and Reeves) are still at large after stealing millions of pounds in pension money from old age pensioners in what can only be described as the biggest “heist” in recent history. I’ll bet these two don’t go cold this winter.

Mother-a-Jazus, for a millisecond there I thought every criminal in the UK was unleashed on Mojacar. Nearly had a heart attack!

Did you go to sleep for the last 14 years or is it just this current government that is robbing the people of Britain?

What a lot of tosh! Has nothing to do with us here in Almeria but maybe you are a British pensioner who now misses that annual pensioner heating allowance? We don’t get it here.

Before too many ‘Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells’ rush to say how appalled they are at losing a benefit that usually approximates to £4 a week, think back to 2010!

In 2010 the Tory-LibDem coalition on coming into power decided to increase full-time student tuition fees in England from £3,290 to £9,000 per year, basically they tripled them. I don’t recall a large number of pensioners complaining at the time? I did, but I was not then a pensioner.

Cameron and Clegg said they had to do this as there was insufficient public funding to support higher education. Rather a bigger issue than nowadays reducing £200 annual WFA payments to pensioners. 

Before that 2010 election it was clear the Conservatives favoured a fee level higher than the £3k fee cap that existed, Labour were split in a number of directions (higher fees, a fee freeze, a graduate tax or abolition of fees altogether). The Liberal Democrats were united, with a policy of scrapping tuition fees. But changed their mind, on getting into power.

Every govt has to decide on its priorities. Maybe give this one more than 2 months grace, after the shambles of the last 14 years?

Nice bit of twisting facts to suit your own personal bias there … you don’t write for the Daily Mail or The Sun by any chance do you? That’s the kind of verbal diarrhea they would come up with.

£53 Billion wasted to Tory “chums” for PPE that either wasn’t suitable or was never delivered, and yet you decide to pick on a Winter Fuel Allowance being means tested to try and close up a £22 Billion black hole … and you call THIS government criminals?  A former Prime Minister FINED for breaking his own lockdown laws… but Starmer is apparently the criminal; and 14 years of almost endless Tory corruption and incompetence and yet it’s Labour, a government that has only been in since July, that are to blame for the countries ills … yeah …

Clearly this is satire - it must be …if not, you do realise that there are very few that are going to take such blatant gaslighting as you demonstrate seriously, don’t you?

Having said that and managed to rid myself of the mirth wracking my body when I read that utter nonsense, like others I am moved to ask : what does this have to do with Almeria? Pensioners here don’t get the WFA anyway
