Calling All Pensioners

[Repeated from Monday 1pm.] Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London.

Independent Age reacts to the recent voter backlash in the local council elections, pointing out it is time to push for change to support older people. Age UK responds to the latest annual poverty statistics showing that 1 in 6 pensioners live in poverty based on the winter before last, and so predating the loss of the Winter Fuel Payment for most pensioners. Our further musical tribute is to Clodagh Rodgers who was a Northern Irish singer best known for her 1971 UK Eurovision Song Contest entry and hit single, "Jack in the Box", and to Max Romeo, a Jamaican reggae and roots reggae recording musician.
