Pensioners’ needs in focus
12:09pm Tuesday 17th July 2012 in Letters
ONCE again the unthinking mob of great oratory, Parliament, do not consider the consequences of their actions.
Remove bus passes for pensioners?
Why not? At least I shall be able to use my car for the greater congestion of traffic on all roads whereas at the moment I use the bus.
And I travel to some of the smaller places where I spend a little while and have a meal, which then helps the places that I visit financially.
There are charities I am a member of, which I wouldn’t be able to help because of the pressure on my income.
Many of the Eton Harrow crowd who I have met are great people, but there are undoubtedly some who have spent a great deal of time at these seats of learning and having matured and left have, through inheritance – sometimes millions – lived a life of luxury, maybe on their daddy’s yacht, and have not done a day’s work in their lives.
It is possible that there is a source of income tax to be raised through death duties excluding the family house to fund pensioners’ needs.
