cressida Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 How to be very very popular - Pensioners have good memories for things like that, if Hunt had done that Labour would have made a meal of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think millionaires like Richard Branson for example should not get a state pension? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Just now, Al Bundy said: Rubbish. They should be entitled to it like anyone else. Do you think millionaires like Richard Branson for example should not get a state pension? He's paid NI in so why not? Winter Fuel is essentially a benefit payment.
