AFTER reading and digesting A Chattin's letter (December 18), I thought how true every word was regarding the Christmas Bonus payment of £10, plus the State Pension which is an absolute disgrace.
Would Thatcher and Co exist on the money her Government of yesteryear allocated to us? I think not.
What about the cost of a TV licence?
As the letter rightly stated the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Maybe we were born 50 years too early judging what some people receive.
