But the point persists that it is bloody cold in many parts of England too.

No doubt. Once means tested I have no problem.
-
I suppose the problem with means testing is the cost of administering it.
-
Perhaps. Seeing relatively wealthy people getting freebies isn't desirable
-
The Tories are being very harsh on who will get it. 9k a year doesn't make someone wealthy. Millions of people on bread line will suffer.

Agreed. My point is that a pathetic weather app screen grab is a poor way for Labour to make their points
-
The basic sentiment is correct though. Tempreratures in England hit -9.7C in November 16. It can get blooming cold everywhere.

You don't understand the difference between weather and climate do you. I disagree with May's position, but don't you abuse science.

Graham only from the ones like me that can afford not to have it.
-
That's just not true. People have £9k or more pension pa then they don't get it. That's 10million out of 12million who lose out.
