First they came for......
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.
NOW THEY ARE COMING FOR THE PENSIONERS
"Ministers should waste no time to make unpopular cuts to pensioner benefits, a think tank director has said.
Many of those hit by a cut to the winter fuel allowance might "not be around" at the next election, said Alex Wild of the Taxpayers' Alliance.
And others would forget which party had done it, he added."
"Mr Wild said the Tories could not wait until a year before the next election to make the necessary cuts to the winter fuel allowance, free bus passes, the Christmas bonus and other pensioner benefits.
So, if we haven't already starved to death by the next election they will freeze us instead
Time for some BIG demonstrations methinks!

Now we 'mark their card' and remember what they have said in the weeks to come - and if there is another General Election before 2020 because Cameron loses a vote of 'no confidence' we ensure that Marcus Fox et al get deselected.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34439965

Re: First they came for......
Grist for the Mill as they say. We pensioners have long been an easy target for cuts since the recession and with no-one to represent us in parliament except career minded MP's.. But really, we should just treat him as we did the wonderful sneering Angela who took the mickey out of a householder with his white van parked outside and his St George flag flying from his window for the world cup - and that is with the utter contempt he deserves !! it's obvious this ignorant moron is just trying to court publicity for himself and his organisation from the media and public.|
