A pensioner aged 74 has been held in custody for armed robbery of a building society in Dorset.

I blame the parents.

What happened to the old values of living within your means.

If you cannot afford it, you go without.

The Labour Government has done a lot for the poorest pensioners over the past ten years.

Why couldn't this pensioner live on pension credit of £120 per week and housing and council tax benefits?

I am middle aged, in my 50s and unemployed. I have to live on less than £57 per week.

I haven't had to resort to a life of crime to survive. Yet.
