Should the Prime Minister back down from proposals to cut the Winter Fuel Allowance?Being just over the limit to claim pension credits due to a very small occupation pension I will be hundreds of pounds out of pocket! Food, gas, electricity all increased and like everyone more than doubled in price. Yes pensions have increased but will put my in the tax threshold too so I am being doubly punished like many others in my situation! To top it all off Starmers going to punish us again by taking away WFA Shame on you Starmer and your Chancellor!!ViewDate:

Should smoking be banned outside pubs and cafes?I admit I am a smoker and always very aware of other people around me and careful not to sit too close when outside having a ciggie. My husband and I are now using vapes in order to reduce our intake, which I might add is only one per day! We do however enjoy a smoke when outside fishing and also in a beer garden with a drink, not too much to ask really. I do wish people and the government would be more tolerant and appreciate some people do not over indulge and government should let us be for once!!ViewDate:

The very best of AdeleEvery Adele song is fantastic! There isn't one song I don't like, I think she is a great artist and songwriter, I hope she tours in UK again so I can see her live and bonus is that she is British!ViewDate:

Should smokers, drinkers, drug users and obese people be charged to see the doctor?Hi Trish, thank you for the well balanced soap box opinion! Sometimes people just forget that everyone is different, their body make up is different, their personal and health issues can all create problems they may not wish to have. I live with being overweight and have been so since a child due to suffering Hasimotos Thyroiditis which affects every part of my body mechanics and slows the metabolism down. All my life has been a constant diet and exercise regime. At my age now my metabolism is non existent. This has been exasperated due to yo yo dieting and I've recently found out that exercising too hard can cause additional problems with health and make you more fatigued! Recently I needed a new hip due to Osteo Arthritis, I need my other hip replacing soon, would people be so quick to deny me surgery and remove the constant pain I live with I wonder? Unable to walk and move means I cannot exercise hence weight gain even though I eat minimum calories per day. Sometimes I believe like you, that people should be a little more forgiving, I too pay my taxes. Please people think first, I thank you Trish.ViewDate:

7 early signs of Alzheimer’s to watch out forAs a former social care officer I saw many people suffering and living with this cruel disease. The sooner science finds a cure the better. It's awful for the people who have to deal and live with it in a daily basis. I always say " you loose the person you love before you loose the person".ViewDate:
