Don't vote for any of them, it only encourages them grin

It annoys me that they are all so out of touch.

I would challenge any of them to live on my income for just a month - they couldn't do it and I consider myself to be one of the fortunate ones there are many a lot worse off than I am!

Nick Clegg is a waste of space. I suppose he feels he has to say something in case anyone forgets he exists.

Barrow it is because he felt he had to make a speech about something to commemorate his 5 years as party leader and couldn't come up with much else! It is safe have a go at the well off but would be more responsible if he defined what that is. To make it worth all the paperwork it would have to be most of us I'm afraid but I don't think any of them would put that in their manifesto because we are the ones who vote. grin

Sky are reporting that Nick Clegg has said that bus passes, winter fuel allowance and free TV licences should be taken away from "richest pensioners". He doesn't say what he considers a rich pensioner to be. I know he has said this before but why does he keep picking on pensioners!
