Its the same over here...millions are spent giving foreign aid...to countries that can,t manage their own affairs...but when it comes to helping old soldiers who gave their all, for Queen and country....its a different story....they get very little help,...up until 2 years ago, pensioners used to get a £250 winter fuel payment....then last year the government decided...we,ll only give them £200,...thus saving loads of money...but then we hear that Gov ministers...give themselves a pay rise...claim oodles for expenses...whilst old veterans and pensioners can,t heat their homes....Avril calls them and the royals...Parasites. .....
