Old and cold !!!

An 85 year old lady did not turn her heating on due to a fear of high bills,

Unfortunately due to the cold spells,into her body hypothermia spills.

Fixated by high energy bills her heating was turned off,

Hypothermia crept in leading to pneumonia and a severe cough.

   

Last week I got a gas bill estimate of 1600  quid,

Checked my recent meter reading,glad I did.

Turned  out the reading  was just half that amount,

A payment of 800 quid fully cleared my account.

 

High heating bills are affecting us more being old,

As we spend more time at home fighting the cold.

I sit on my stool right next to my blow heater,

Central heating turned off to bring down the reading on my meter

RG.
You claim the British public could not trust Miliband or Corbyn.
WHY couldn't they?

And I CAN in part blame the BBC.
Amongst others - they broadcast and repeated lies, which the electorate believed.
They redacted ("creatively"edited) interviews, forming "...a tissue of lies" to quote one authority.

RG.
You ask "...why have we (I'm not guilty) continued to vote them in for the past 12 years...?"

Insanity perhaps: "...doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results?”

So who told you Labour were "unelectable"; and how did they become unelectable?

Because of a pack of lies perhaps?
A pack of lies repeated ad nauseam and unchallenged by the likes of BBC Question Time and other prominent figures; and by BBC Panorama? (the latter now well documented)???????

We've always known what the Tories are, so why have we continued to vote them in for the past 12 years...the last time with a MASSIVE majority? Could it be that Labour have been unelectable, still probably are?

What makes you think they actually care, Hugh?

They are hiving off profits from literally vital life-saving public services to tax havens such as the Cayman Islands.
And we are letting the Tory Scum get away with it!
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡!
