Does anyone care about us old, sick, cold expats?

I suddenly thought what if someone else has started a campaign for winter fuel allowance on the same site, so I browsed to see. Not only has no one started a petition but reading the only three petitions  I found relating to fuel allowance I felt none of these three would sign OUR petition!

I think it's a joke that I, at 65 with a good pension, get Winter Fuel Allowance while some disabled people almost have to justify their right to live.

You are so wrapped up in hurting the "Commoners" yet your colleague Ken Clarke another Millionaire is in receipt of Winter Fuel Allowance?? Gobshite's the lot ...

And the fuel allowance has not even started for this winter and is not enough to cover very basic heating costs..last year I had to borrow money to pay these bills.
