SIR - The row and national scandal expands daily against the Labour Government’s plan to cut winter fuel payments to millions of pensioners, whilst using the savings to fund public sector above inflation pay awards.

The Labour party is attacking its mainly political opponents, the pensioners, most of whom have lived long enough to grow wise to the horrors of socialism.

It is clear that the Labour Party’s mind set is that the only good pensioners are dead pensioners! Thus they can no longer vote Conservative whilst reducing the national welfare bill freeing up funds to pass the their supporters in the public sector.
