David Cameron has said today that Tories will protect free bus travel. But from the recent cut in free bus travel in East Stafforshire we know Tories are lying.
He said "I understand many, many pensioners live on incredibly tight budgets and so increases in electricity prices, or gas prices, or council tax, put incredible pressure on.
And what I want to see is the ability to give people the chance to have dignity and security in old age."
He obviously does not mean it as Conservatives in East Staffordshire Borough Council heeded his message to freeze Council Tax at the expense of elderly and disabled by cutting free bus pass scheme.
Thanks to Labour's PPC, Ruth Smeeth, Labour is leading a high profile protest and petition to save the bus pass scheme.
It is interesting to note that Conservative PPC has not condemed this decision by local Tories which confirms it is Conservative policy.
