I recently met with the Wolverhampton Pensioners’ group. We discussed issues from Iraq to local housing. In particular concerns were raised about the cost of living and the difficulties almost all of us now face in making ends meet.
Perhaps they should take advice from Transport Minister Tom Harris who has claimed that the credit crunch is over-hyped and that crime has been reduced. He even goes on to ask ”why is everybody so bloody miserable?” and states that the public is prone to moaning. Yesterday I spent over £ 70.00 filling up on a tank of diesel.
Almost every time I’m at the forecourt now you end up chatting to people who are being pushed to the financial edge in relation to basic necessities that they can’t do without. Some of these ministers need to get out in the real world and away from their Westminster bubble.
Paul.
