No pensioners will freeze unless they are too stupid to turn the heating on or go to bed.

No pensioners will freeze tonight. Stop your hysteria and go to bed.

Why not ask “Sir Kahn” he us making London pay for them!

Go outside and touch some grass…government doesn’t pay for your local fireworks…Londoners paid for them
