Of course people will die, that's part of life.
The argument against this is that the quality of life for those people will be adversely impacted by the loss of the WFA at a time when they have to make choices as to how they spend their budget. Some will have little or no understanding of the benefit system (or struggle with access) to apply for other funding and it has the possibility of hastening deaths of people who may chose to forge heating in favour of something else.
The difficult is that the economy is in such a poor position, despite years of previous austerity measures, that some targetted action is needed but unfortunately, because of the austerity measures, there is now no state/public infrastructure for people to fall back on.
Its very hard therefore to believe that anyone previously championing/dismissing austerity or making glib statements about poor budgeting of younger people is sincere in their outrage about this, because either they dismissed the issues previously when it didn't impact them/those they know or they didn't care because it was upsetting those on the opposing political spectrum.
