Yes very much so and worst of it is, is that the government must think anyone over the age of sixty as being senile and not needing decent food. They seem to think that the state pension is more than adequate to feed people of this age group and that they should only buy the very basics.

Then we have the high cost of energy that many pensioners can't afford. Some pensioners with health problems need to keep warm but the government could not care less. Maybe all the three main parties think that if they keep pensioners living below the poverty line that it will kill them off and so wont need to be funded or in reciept of a state pension anymore.

The TV licence for instance should be scrapped once a person reaches seventy years of age and the telephone line rental for this age group should be paid for by the state other countries such as Ireland do it so why can't our government?
