More people die in Britain every year from cold weather than any other European country, including Siberia. The biggest single factor in this startling statistic is poverty. Professor William Keatinge has carried out a huge amount of research into this area and has argued that more government money needs to be made available. But, of course, our Labour Government can't do that because they want to give tax breaks to the rich and put utility companies into private hands so they can whack the price of gas and electricity up in order to maximise their profits and give hand-outs to their already wealthy shareholders. So, in a nutshell, tens of thousands of pensioners are being sacrificed, quite literally, so that the wealthy can become a little bit richer. You have to ask yourself what sort of country we live in in the 21st Century? They say you can measure the compassion of a nation by analysing the way it treats the elderly. If that is the case, then Britain is cruel, greedy, bastard with a cold, cold heart and no sense of justice, equality or indeed, history. That means you Thatcher, Major, Blair and Brown.

The government want oldies to die because they aren't in gainful employment any more - hence not a 'hard working family'. Therefore, they are better off under the soil.
Did you know that pensions in this country are the lowest in Europe? Not only do poor oldies suffer poverty, but they also know that The Powers The Be who would like them to all to turn up their toes and be brown bread.
