TONY Blair made six pledges that families will fare better if he is re-elected as our PM.

Do I hear a seventh pledge for the pensioners of this country? They might as well be invisible as no one up to press has given them a mention.

If nothing is in the offing for pensioners at the next general election, which is only a few weeks away, the pensioners in this country must turn out in force and make their displeasure known via the ballot box.

This is the only thing they can do to make the government sit up and take notice.

Pensioners must start standing up for themselves for a fair deal and thinking together.

After May you will not get another chance to vote at a general election for five years and Tony Blair could become our PM once again.
