Sounds about right!

So working people receiving low incomes will get larger tax allowances.

So retired people receiving low incomes will not get larger tax allowances.

Thank you Mr Osborne.

Cameron and Co had better watch out at the next election. They have just alienated millions of pensioners by freezing their tax allowances in order to give the fat cats at the top of the heap even more money. I would like to see those on the higher rate of tax manage on less the £15k a year.

I expect the plan is that us pensioners will all have starved to death by the next election... <grump>

[Grizelda43]

Probably. At this rate we wont be able to afford food

This government HATES pensioners!

Don't forget we have had successive governments who keep telling ex servicemen who served on Christmas island in the fifties and sixties that there is no connection between radiation and dying of cancer. Eventually there will no servicemen left so they wont have to pay compensation. Do you think they will worry too much about pensioners and giving them an adequate pension ?
