Nick Clegg suggested wealthy pensioners' handouts should be cut to help balance the books.
Clegg still trotting out garbage. This latest piece of verbiage is not new however. Earlier in the year, June in fact, in the Guardian, the following article appeared:
"Nick Clegg backs benefit cuts for better-off pensioners
Intervention comes after reports that Iain Duncan Smith is pressing for cuts to £5bn bill for elderly benefits"
On Thursday 7th June 2012, under the heading of "Clegg attacks pensioner" I wrote the following on this Blog.
"What is a "better off pensioner"? Is the numbskull Clegg is talking about the 65 year old who has a state pension plus a substantial private pension or is he talking about the 65 year old who has a state pension plus a small private pension only? At what level of private pension income would a person have their benefits cut? As usual the glib comment is only for consumption by the "lets cut everything" lobby, who see another "soft target" for their assault on the people of this country. It is easy for people like Clegg to have philosophical discussions over large brandies in the Millionaires Club in Piccadilly, while the rest of us choose heat or eat.
Glegg, the two faced hypocrite who prostituted himself and his party for a seat in cabinet."
Neither Clegg, nor any of his parliamentary group, nor any of his fast dwindling members or supporters in the country have yet answered the fundamental question.
