If you're government cared about you then 30,000 old people wouldn't die every year from cold. Means testing has been proved to show that for whatever reasons less older people apply - so more will die. How many? 40,000? These are people. These are facts. So don't tell me they care about the odd few. There should be vigils for the mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers who die every year because it's eat or heat.
