Do O.A.P.s in Scotland have human rights.?

O.A.Ps in the main have worked all their
lives , they have paid their taxes , they have
paid their rates/poll tax/council tax,they have
brought up families who continue to pay taxes
etc. O.A.P.s have endured hardships
that people today could not ,
they have lived through the depression
maybe as children, they have lived through
the dreadful war years, all of this
time they have paid national
insurance having been told that at
the end of their working life they
will be able to draw a pension
that the money they paid in
would be returned, that the money
would be invested and that their
pension was theirs as a right,.
But now pensions are used as a
political football, O.A.P.s are made
to feel awkward, ill at ease and unwothy
People who are not yet at retirement age
are told that despite paying in all of
their working life there will be no pension
Why is it that M.P.s can find money for their
little projects, Millenium dome, Scotish parliment
building ,wars, etc etc while our O.A.P.s
( our MOTHERS and FATHERS ) are cold
and hungry . where has the money gone
who stole it ! who took it to fund their
own little project? immigration? (Illegal immigrants
pass through several countries to get here,
why, because they are given free housing,wellfare,
child support,unemployment benifit, etc etc and
haven't paid a penny or new pence in ), while our
O.A.Ps starve or worry themselves to death will we see
heads roll , I think not.
YOU will all be pensioners one day
think about it

Ah, blame it on immigrants? I see. Nope, I'd say there are immigrants here having a pretty lousy time too, you know.
