Do pensioners need such gestures?

I'd have thought that with the restrictions if anything, and like the rest of us, they'd be going out less and therefore spending less money?

If it's not an ongoing shift then all it will achieve is to make those who are living hand to mouth wait longer for their next pension payment.

This reply reminds me of the man walking along a street and finds a pay-packet full of notes on the pavement. He opened it whilst his friend said, "You lucky devil!"
To which the man replied, "What d'you mean lucky? Look at the tax I've paid!"

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
