Winter fuel cuts: was it a mistake?

We ask the people of Cardiff about their thoughts on the winter fuel payment cuts, and whether something else should have been cut instead.

00:00Yeah, especially with the elderly. I've got about, I want to say, four sets of grandparents

00:05and they're all worried about it. You know, especially pensions aren't the same as they

00:10used to. When it just comes to the bills, they keep on rising and rising. And no matter

00:17what seemingly governments say, neither of the two major parties have really been able

00:22to solve that.

00:23Well, I don't mind, you know, the taxes. There's a lot of taxes off of people who are working.

00:28They don't mind losing a bit of money on taxes and that. I mean, look at the poor pensions,

00:32they've worked hard all their life. They've worked all their life and now they're going

00:36to suffer for this winter fuel thing. If the Labour Party said in a manifesto what they

00:42would have done in the first place, I don't think they would have got in.

00:45Do you realise how big those are going up?

00:47I'm not too happy about it.

00:49It's about, yeah, was it £10 more I think they were paying?

00:52£15.

00:53£15 and a half, yeah.

00:54£10 and 50p.

00:55It's 10% then, yeah.

00:56That is, yeah, travelling into our student loan, I guess.
