A GROUP of peers has said pensioners' benefits like free bus passes and free TV licences are outdated - like themselves - and the money should be spent on other things, like giving themselves more leisure time, no doubt.
Pensioners need better things to help them against poverty, which is rising.
Get rid of the useless peers who just think of themselves. That would save a lot of money.
Pensioners have served their country over the years.
Too much money is being wasted on the wrong things with the people in charge not giving the people what they want.
