Extreme circumstances call for drastic measures, says Jessamine Ainsworth pensioner, who is worried about what this winter will mean for vulnerable people like her
I am a pensioner with health conditions that make me more susceptible to the cold and I am worried about running into debt while trying to stay warm this coming winter. There will be more deaths than ever in the elderly, disabled and vulnerable groups, and the government is not acting to prevent this.
Not only are ministers not facing up to the economic crisis, but they are not facing up to the problems in the NHS or with global warming. Indeed very little is working successfully in this country.
