00:00I'd like to see the taxes imposed on those who've got plenty of money and so I would
00:06say inheritance tax, I would certainly say capital gains tax and I would say that if
00:12you look at the upper levels of income tax, I think there'd be no problem for me in
00:17that being taxed. I think I'm quite in favour of the winter fuel allowance being stopped
00:23for pensions who can afford it.
00:25I hope there's a bit more focus on the environment because it's really gone on the back burner
00:29recently I think, people have sort of, there are so many issues obviously that need to
00:34be dealt with and I feel like the environment has gone a bit on the back burner.
00:37We are going to have to accept that we'll be a bit worse off for the foreseeable future
00:43and from my personal point of view, I know personal tax increases have been ruled out
00:49but I don't actually mind paying more tax to get a better NHS and to get better public
00:55services because I think it's shocking the way things have deteriorated over the last
00:5910, 15 years.
01:00Cold weather payment for the elderly, that's been stopped, which is not right.
01:07Help for people on universal credit, NHS, need more money put into NHS as well.
01:16Partly just the housing crisis really and partly the healthcare as well, it's all really
01:22under-budgeted and everything's going up through prices and it's a bit annoying.
01:25I'm a pensioner, I'm not on pension credits and I'm going to possibly struggle a little
01:29bit.
01:30I don't think I'm going to freeze to death but I'm going to have to watch my pennies
01:33a little bit.
01:34I'm currently homeless at the moment.
01:36I would like to see some improvements in the begging industries.
01:41I think personally, yeah, bus lanes, cycle lanes, just keep them to one side please.
01:46You know what, keep the bus lanes, just keep them to one side, especially cyclists too.
01:50I think the Worsoft pensioners really need to be protected and Rachel Reeves has an important
01:54job to do in the Olsen budget to make sure that those Worsoft pensioners are actually
01:58protected.
