Reason #1,725 Why Labour Will Lose The Next UK Election

Bob McGowan, a 94-year-old veteran of the British Army, is poor and needs government assistance to help pay his heating bill. Because he was one day late for applying for his heating allowance after changing apartments, his request was denied by petty-minded bureaucrats.

Mr McGowan, who won the Burma Star, the Africa Star, the War Medal 1939 to 1945, the 1939-1945 Star and the Defence Medal following 2,133 days on active duty overseas, has vowed to mail the medals back to UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown if the heating allowance squabble isn't resolved.



All the old man has left is his dignity and his medals, and bureaucrats are trying to take his dignity away, leaving only the medals.
