DAVID CAMERON and sidekick George Osborne are really sailing close to the wind with their latest threats on our leaving the crumbling European Union.

The threat to pensioners that their normally hard-earned pension, pathetic as it is, could be eroded.

The pro immigration Gordon Brown paid the price with his meddling and insulting 10p rise to pensions some years ago. After my 50 years paying into the government coffers of all denominations, I pity anyone who has to actually live on state pension alone. Fortunately I do not have to, but I take exception to politicians of any colour making idle threats.

Meddle at your peril Cameron, I am still voting out with the majority.
