I WOULD like to reply to my and others' detractors who label us without any knowledge - always the tactic of the ignorant and biased! They don't know the meaning of objectivity. Has it occurred to these people, who criticise us for asking for justice for pensioners, that it isn't for ourselves?
Maybe it is beyond these people, who defend hypocritical, dishonest politicians, who say one thing in opposition and another when in power, that someone can fight for others!
It is a fact that pensioners are robbed of 25 p/w (single) and 32 p/w (couple) and to restore the link is the desire of 90pc of pensioners, and a matter of justice - not handouts!
Pensioners have put the money in by a lifetime's work and taxes! They've served in armed services too. No wonder politicians think they can get away with lies and deceptions and huge salaries for themselves, as judging by some of your correspondents political ignorance and apathy is widespread.
What people do not know is that everyone's pension will be robbed by the breaking of the link!
