Plaid campaign for pensioners - WalesOnline

TWELVE pensioners will die each day during the winter in Wales because of the cold, the charity Age Concern Cymru has claimed.

The charity said it was a national scandal and is campaigning for a rise in the basic state pension. The charity blames the deaths on expensive heating costs, poor standards of housing and low incomes.

So, by the next general election, more than 50,000 Welsh pensioners will have died from the cold and heating poverty. All this from a so-called socialist Labour government.
