Petition against the removal of additional tax allowances for
pensioners.

Vote early, vote often :-)

If you are canvassing for votes against the removal of additional tax
allowances, it might be a good idea to explain why you think that the
increase in personal allowances for those over 65 does not adequately
compensate for them.

I agree. I suppose some would argue that this doesn't maintain the
differential between pensioners and non-pensioners. But I'm not sure
exactly what the case for a differential is.

Personally, I'd rather have it as an increased personal allowance for
everyone. That way, it doesn't get clawed back when my total pension
income exceeds a certain threshold.

I would also support means testing things like bus passes and winter
fuel allowance. Not so sure about prescriptions and eye test. Older
people tend to have a greater need for these. Free dental treatment
would be good, too.

Useless blatherings. Us over 60s know we will have our pensions removed,
our houses stolen by mansion taxes, our savings devalued and used to
employ third world carers to not look after us before being put on a
care pathway and finally turned into SagaBurgers for young labour votahs.

The only question is how many of the idle workshy *******s we can take
with us.

Pass the Ammonium Nitrate Jeeves. I have one final message to deliver to
the House. While the balance of my mind is sufficiently disturbed by the
last of the Clery '46....
