AM I surprised, some of us will lose our Winter Fuel Allowance.

No. not at all this new government would rather see train drivers keep warm in their cosy cabs than see the elderly freeze. This is nothing new, over previous times the Labour government have been in power they achieved similar things.

In saying that the best thing they did was to create the NHS, I rest my case.

My dad always said their motto was "don't do what I do, do what I tell you".

I am getting on a bit now I believe that people should be encouraged to look after themselves.

Mark my words most voters will regret it. I do hope I'm wrong.
