senior citizens who died from the cold 4950 excess winter deaths caused by cold homes last winter 17th Jan 2024 — Previous End Fuel Poverty Coalition estimates put the figure at 4,706 Excess Winter Deaths caused by cold homes. Children who died of malnutrition There is no official data for the number of children who died of starvation in England last year , as "starvation" is not a common registered cause of death. However, in 2022, there were 77 deaths involving malnutrition as the underlying cause in England and Wales, Crack on freezing the pensioners, you seem to enjoy it Put me on ignore if you don’t like reading what sort of person you really are.
We need to be careful how we use the data on pensioners freezing to death. My mother-in-law doesn't put her central heating on in her house she owns, and has savings.
You can only go by the data supplied, or do you have data for the ones who don’t switch their heating on? The data for children dying was before they got the new benefits. The data for senior citizens was before they got their heating allowance cut.
My mates mother died recently at 86 (not from the cold). She owned her house got state pension, 2/3 of her late husbands pit pension, attendance allowance, winter fuel allowance and a NCB fuel allowance in lieu of coal allowance. She would not put her heating on and sat with a coat and hat on indoors because "heating is expensive". She left £700k to her two sons when she died.
I wonder where the flu peak was at that period of time? Deaths usually go up for the elderly in January/February.
Sad state of affairs which emphasises my point. It doesn't matter how much we tell them. They become stubborn in old age and want to leave as much money as possible to their kids.
I don't like it and have been ignoring it. Women get comments like that all the time. Look at all the hoo-ha about Theresa May's shoes. I can't recall reading anything about male politicians shoes.
