I have been watching the BBC coverage of the Budget. It looks like all the benefits that are being made are going to be funded by freezing pensioners' tax allowances - under the guise of 'simplification'.
Treasury figures show that this will raise £1billion for the Treasury, according to Nick Robinson.
I'm never sure how much these things will affect my day to day life, but it does seem certain that - after dismantling the NHS that so many of us will rely upon in the years to come - this government is now penalising pensioners to help them out of the mess the bankers got us into.
