I WOULD like to reply to Matthew Sinclair, Director of the Tax Payers Alliance, who argued against free bus passes for pensioners (Oxford Mail, January 24).

Now listen, sonny boy, most pensioners have paid a hell of a lot of tax into this once-great country. And they haven’t all got fancy cars to drive about in.

No doubt when you come of age you will be first in the queue to get your bus pass, so button it!
