SIR - It was so sad to see on TV the other day of a 96 year old ex-POW wanting to remain at home for the rest of his days but the council was saying it was costing the tax payer too much.

I though god I can't believe this. I thought what about all those that are too lay to work and of the immigrants claiming benefits.

I'm sure the public would sooner help the 96 year old whose done so much for his country.
