Winter Fuel Allowance ?

The Daily Mail: Reports that the age that the winter fuel allowance kicks in for OAP’s could be raised from 60 to 70 due to the need for public spending cuts. The Coalition Government if they are going to do something this drastic and unpopular should get it out NOW, otherwise we will see weeks of leaks and scare stories, get it out now, let the pain be understood that it is a matter of getting the UK out of the red left by the Labour Party. It would be advisable that there should be means testing for those over 65, in other words those that are poor and 65 should get more money from the Government. The Labour Party will shout from the roof tops but this is their fault, the Blair/Brown years have bankrupted the UK.
