I must say I don't know any pensioners who have £20k to invest but I suspect they'll be quite a few former politicians who will fit into that category thanks to their rather generous perks and pensions.

Anyway as beneficiaries of deliberate govt. policy go, I'd say borrowers have had some very favourable treatment at the expense of savers. The savings they've made on their mortgages etc. will be far in excess of anything the pensioners are now entitled to via this scheme.
