Just when you thought they could get any more horrendous and despicable we get this...

    I have no issue with old people dying due to coldness providing they deal with the situation. If they dont move to a home designed for their needs, why should we care? It's not out responsibility to help those who dont help themselves.

    Probably one of the most awful things I've seen written on this site.

    And I thought such despicable thinking was the reserve of the horrendous individuals over on HPC. Seems not.

    No, they come over here and repeat the same nonsense as well.

  • There should be no need for old people going cold not with the heating allowance and in some cases cwp as well
