IF you are a pensioner in Britain today, and particularly if you are in one of the elderly people's homes in Bury Metro, you could find yourself out in the street and on the scrap heap!

But if you are an illegal immigrant, I hear, you could get £2,500 of our money to help you go home. Have I missed something here?

By the way, we are not exactly being deafened by the views of our MPs on the matter of the treatment of our elderly.
