More details

To: alex.dyke@bbc.co.ukHi Alex,
my biggest bugbear, is unmarried Mothers.
Some of them ( 2 of my neighbours") had sex at 15 years old, now they get, ONE RENT FREE HOME, BENEFITS, NO COUNCIL TAX.
AND SOME OF THEM GO ON TO HAVE 2 CHILDREN, OUT OF WEDLOCK.

I have done everything properly, courted, got engaged, got married, THEN had my children.
Worked in Nursing field, for over 35 years, was Escort to John Major, and H.R.H.Princess Royal.
And I received the letter last week, to say, that even though I have retired, I have to start paying Council Tax, from March. and it exceeds the State Pension, I am going to get.
I am absolutely FUMING
