Don't think ant other party or coalition will be any different. What the politicians fail to realise is that they have destroyed the public's confidence in the whole political system. Cash for questions, expenses scandal, lack of attendance at the Commons, it just goes on. The really sad thing is that none of the parties see any need to regain the confidence of the people.

Firstly thanks for all the welcomes folks.

What is happening is that the basic state pension is being increased by £2.85 per week. The issue is that those receiving Pension Credit will only receive an increase of 87p per week. This is because the level at which Pension Credit is payable is not being increased. The effect of this is that those receiving Pension Credit will receive a £2.85 increase in their basic pension, but will lose £1.98 per week from their Pension Credit payment. Taking inflation into account this results in an effective decrease in income.

Whilst Council Tax Benefit and Housing Benefit are means tested overall, Pension Credit is the key to automatic full entitlement. It also provides free basic optical and dental care. Do away with Pension Credit, by the back door of course, and the government will save money.

How do Tories and LibDems sleep at night? Remember the promise from Cameron about increases in the state pension? Well mine, and many others, will increase next April by little more than 0.5%.

That is because we receive Pension Credit as we have no other source of income. We will get £2.85 rise in the basic pension per week, but £1.98 of this will be deducted from our few pounds of Pension Credit! Kept that one quiet when you made your big announcement didn't you Mr. Cameron.

Those with private pensions, multiple incomes etc. will of course get the full increase. The rich continue to get richer at the expense of the poor.

For those of you thinking of voting Tory next year, stop and think again. You could be the next one to suffer from Tory lies and deviously written announcements. Mr. Cameron, you are without doubt the most despicable MP since Thatcher.

'If you have to walk a couple of miles so what'? There are a good many, myself included, who just can't do this. Surely we are deserving of a little consideration too.

If it's ideas you want for the route then the obvious answer is to map out a shorter route keeping away from residential areas as far as possible, and run several laps. not a complete answer I know, but it will minimise the problems.
