I was asked to write to Ms Eagle about welfare issues over disabled elderly being unable to pay for heating, it was part of a local charity campaign, Ms eagle wrote back saying look would it not be better if you found a job, stop bother hard working people, use your DLA to pay for extra heating costs and stop moaning.
says it all does it not.
