THERE are some MPs in Westminster who are out of touch with reality - those who want to stop rich pensioners receiving bus passes and winter fuel allowances.

There are two types of rich pensioners: the mammies and daddies of Westminster MPs who made their money off the backs of ordinary people and sent their children to university to become MPs and make their money off the backs of ordinary people and then there are those who worked hard all their lives to put food on the table and brought up their children not to make money off the backs of ordinary people. If they paid into the pot, they should receive from it.
