Surely the people who have both a state and a private pension, are still 'state pensioners' - quite possible to be drawing a state pension AND be well off - I hope so, anyway, as that's where I hope to be in 10-12 years' time.
It really is astonishing.
It would genuinely be cheaper to stand on the beaches of Kent, and hand each new arrival the keys to the house that the loony right like to pretend they all get.
I'm fairly sure that the election rules would preclude screening that 'just before' an election, sadly.
