About

Now that I am 64 years of age,  I have become very aware of the hardships the pensioners and disabled suffer on a day to day basis.  I am very passionate about the pensioners receiving their rights in an aging society.  We have become the forgotten generation, I wish for this to change, my intentions are to be the voice of the people who unfortunately are living below the poverty line.  In many countries, the elderly are revered and treated with the greatest respect.  There are approximately 11 million pensioners in the UK, many of whom will suffer this winter because they will have to make the hardest of choices on whether to ‘heat or eat’.  There sadly, will be deaths of some elderly this winter from either hypothermia or the lack of a substantial diet. Is this the way our Governments show gratitude to those who paid all of their working lives into the system and fought for their country?
 
I believe that ‘Grey power’ can make a difference, so let us show this Government that we are demanding that we live out our days in dignity, we deserve this at the very least.
 
The pensioners and the disabled are the only members of our society who don’t have a choice about how much money we get to live on, it is a fixed income, decided by men in grey suits.  It is time for us to stand up and be heard.  Governments should take heed that we are a force to be reckoned with.
