But he has spoken to most pensioners in this country over the weekend, he visits more people in an evening than Santa Claus and they're all dying to tell him what they spent their WFA on.

You would need to point out where I said they did.My aunt and uncle are quite capable of financing their grandkids Christmas presents by themselves, without the need for the taxpayer to do it
The WFA is not there to fund Sam or Luke's latest bloody video game. And why should it be??
This;You would need to point out where I said they did.
I believe also some naughty pensioners have been buying their grandkids some Xmas presents and have been caught out by a full and extensive investigation by a bluemoon poster.
You were referring to my post I take it?

In total, the UK has committed almost £12.7 billion for Ukraine: £7.6 billion in military support and £5 billion in non-military support. Winter fuel payment costs £1.5bn. I'm not suggesting binning the Ukraine funding, but maybe the £1.5bn should come off that rather than our pensioners.

So .... it was a political decision then ?
The Foreign Aid money is one discussion I'd rather not have either.

There is a really easy solution to all of this. Pay the WFA as a direct credit or discount on an energy account and then we'll see who moans and who actually does need/use it for energy..
Most people I've spoken to use the WFA for a holiday or Christmas... Long before it even gets cold.
If I rephrase it this way - I don't need financial help with my christmas presents or my next holiday so should I get £200 to go towards my energy?
These are the posts I was replying to, I even typed it before you even mentioned your auntie and uncle Xmas presents etc....
I also said I haven't said anywhere that pensioners should use the WFA for Xmas presents because I haven't said that.
Fair enough. Ish.These are the posts I was replying to, I even typed it before you even mentioned your auntie and uncle Xmas presents etc....

Still don't trust you though ;-)
