00:00Save our people out! Save our people out! Save our people out!
00:06We're here because there's a cut in winter fuel allowance and Ofgem are raising the price of the fuel cap.
00:15This is a double whammy that's going to really affect older people.
00:18It's going to cost lives this winter and we're protesting because we're against that.
00:24What are your demands for the government?
00:26Well, we want the big six energy companies to come into public ownership.
00:32We want better insulation.
00:37Excellent. And what about the support here in Portsmouth?
00:42Have many pensioners reached out to you expressing concerns about this?
00:46Well, you can see from the backdrop behind us that many people that we've not seen before have come out angry and are chanting.
00:54That's an indication of the support.
00:56And what about support from the local council, councillors?
01:00Well, I've been in contact with Councillor Steve Pitt and he's been very supportive.
01:04And in fact, I think he's developed a local policy to try and supplement the loss of income for older people.
01:12But he's in a position to explain that himself.
01:16Excellent. And any last messages you want to send out to the public or the government?
01:22Public ownership now.
