Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!
00:08
I've got two, well three, granddaughters and they've all loved Frozen and so when I saw this
00:18
I thought this is brilliant because I want Keir Starmer to let it go what he's done to pensioners.
00:28
Well I've come here because obviously I feel very strongly about the government's decision
00:33
to cut the winter fuel allowance. I can't understand why just behind us when they pay
00:40
the pensioners in that building there £350 per day to sign a register and they are taking away
00:50
£200 per year from the pensioners. This is a Labour government, it seems to be going out of
00:58
its way to annoy older people. Supporting our elderly about their money being cut
01:05
when government are getting freebies and you've got mass migration who are being paid in hotels
01:12
and all that before our elderly. I think the money should go towards our elderly first.
01:18
When we're pensioners and we expect to be rewarded because that's what the NHS told us
01:24
when we started work in the 70s you get rubbish money now but you will be rewarded
01:32
in your old age. It's just not happened and now on top of losing the £50,000 we are getting
01:42
because I've got a small NHS pension I don't qualify for the winter fuel allowance.
