Balls Loses The Next Election For Labour
It is reported today, that Ed Balls has said he will cut the winter fuel payment to wealthy pensioners.
it wouldn’t bother me, as any extra benefits I get from the government, I make sure goes into my charity pot, where I give money to charities that need it for good causes.
Many of those losing their benefit will be Labour voters and this sends a signal, that perhaps some of their other benefits like excellent pensions from public sector jobs might not be safe. So they might think about not voting and some might abstain or worse, as far is Labour is concerned.
I have this view, that politicians of all persuasions and colours are not to be trusted with my money, as they’ll all find vanity projects to waste it on. I won’t name any projects, as I quite like some of them from all sides of the political spectrum, but obviously not all.

If everyone gave their £200 to charity it would be rather expensive for the government as each person could claim that as tax payers they want to gift aid the money. The result would be the government making a charity payment of their own in addition to paying the £200.
