Shouldn't the money spent on our Afghan adventure be diverted to pensioners instead?

Question

I read in the Sunday Mail that 28,000 pensioners died last year because of lack of heating. They don't have enough for heating and food.

Answer 1

yes, i believe that the huge amount of money been spent on the afghanistan adventure should be redirected to the many freezing and hungary pensioners within the uk., for far too long now, government have sqanded thousands of billions of pounds on wars in afghanistan, and iraq, wars which are illigal, and should never have been started by the western governments in the first place, especially the uk government.?

Answer 2

Maybe not the Afghan adventure, but Iraq, yes. It seem the views of this county's people don't matter to the elitest Mr Blair.

Answer 3

I agree, I'm sick of the wastage of government money. Feed and heat the old folk! And stop ploughing millions to keep troops in war torn Eastern countries when all they want is to come home

Answer 4

They all get £200 winter heating allowance from the government. If they die because of lack of heating they've only got themselves to blame - they've been given the money and spent it on something else.

Answer 5

Yes! Whatever happened to charity begins at home?

Answer 6

Take it from the Iraq fiasco.

Answer 7

And since the Taliban are back to their "hijinks", it makes no sense at all

Answer 8

yep that war is pointless
