It is difficult to avoid the suspician that Nick Boles is an idiot.
What must the constituents of Grantham & Stamford think of his crackpot idea to take welfare benefits away from "wealthy" pensioners?
Presumably he has overlooked the fact that a lot of the "wealthy" in his own constituency are going to be from farming familes who can never realise the wealth tied up in their land unless they disinherit the next generations.
If he upsets the local farmers he will be deselected quicker than you can say "The NHS is safe in our hands".
I am tempted to do a quick survey standing outside Burtons the Bakers in downtown Bourne.
