Stop giving our money away...

Each year the Government gives pensioners money - between £200 and £300 - towards their fuel bills, to help them keep warm.

Nothing wrong with that.

But why do pensioners who live aboard get the money?

One guess - yes, the EU.

Under European law, benefits acquired in one member state must be paid to those who move to another.

It is madness that someone who lives in a sunny, warm climate is entitled to money that someone who lives in Barnsley desperately needs.
