Scrapping winter fuel payment is wrong, but REAL SCANDAL is that UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MINIMUM wage is ยฃ22k but pension is ONLY HALF THAT at ยฃ11.5k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's vulnerable!

I love Christmas, throw myself into it, but also I'm sometimes glad when it's over & think: "What a load of old sh*t xmas is!". Anti-climax, atmospheres between relatives, dry turkey, sometimes it's a feeling of being mugged off!!!

Naming no names, but has ITV got a resident botoxologist making all their presenters (male and female) look like boiled eggs? Normal looking people suddenly pop up with their faces suddenly looking puffed up, immobile and wierd. It's US phenomenon that's spread.
