AFTER reading "Threat to cut pensioners' Universal Benefits" in Mature Times, which refers to TV licences and winter fuel payments that could be stripped from hundreds of thousands of well-off pensioners to subsidise bus fares for under-21s, we are all disgusted about what the LibDem leader is proposing to do if he gets in next year.
With Labour, we are not saying that the well-off do not need it, as they can say they do not need it and give it back, but remember that pensioners have worked hard all their lives and have given a lot more than the 16-21-year-olds have given.
LibDem did not keep their word to students, so this is to try to keep them sweet so they will vote for them again, by taking off the elderly and disabled, to give to the young, healthy and capable.
So, we are hoping the 16-21-year-olds will think hard and deep, to where they put the X when voting.
