Nor only is this unfair and discriminatory but without foundation and reason apart from cynical electioneering. We have all paid into the tax pot all our lifes and now cost the UK government and the NHs nothing . Has he ever lived in Spain? Then he would know that large parts of Spain get snow and minus temperatures. Most UK citizens living here are retired and are relying on this money to pay their heating bills in the winter. Can the present government really afford to loose several hundred thousand votes?
