Also also our pay offer was made to the unions under the previous conservative government. Turns out you don't really know anything, which will surprise absolutely nobody.
My point is it's retarded to look at government spending, pick two random things and associate them. The government committed money to loads of sectors at the same time as means testing the winter fuel allowance. For example 'they have committed 1 billion to the aerospace sector, and they took that 1 billion directly from poor fragile freezing cold pensioners' doesnt get people like you frothing so nobody says it, its just as valid though (i.e. not valid).
