Nadhim Zahawi, then:
I would be frightened to live in a country run by Nigel Farage.

On April 26 1937, Nazi Germans and fascist Italians, allies of Franco, bombed the Basque town of Guernica. They were curious to see if their weapons had the power to decimate an entire city. When it was over, Basque authorities reported that 1,654 civilians had been killed in their annihilated town.

The biggest lies have a grain of truth at the heart of them.
And so it is with this Telegraph article.
The thing is, this would/will only be true for pensioners with income - income, not assets - of over £125k per year.
