totally agree with JIm, these were vulnerable people [elderley and children], these 4 deaths could have been prevented, if the people in charge showed a bit of common sense instead of sticking to the rules,
i often think the country is been run by a bunch of idiots.

Wolfgang-I take your point about privacy, and agree that we should not stick our nose into your private business, [how much you earn, where you go, who you talk to etc], but surely if you were an old person freezing to death, you would appreciate some help, and not say "my money situation is a secret, mind your business"?
