Well the manifesto specifies dementia...

I'm not saying that all old people should get state aid if not needed, however when sick and vulnerable people are on a list of tough s*** sort it out yourselves it does cause one to question how morally bankrupt Theresa has become. It'll be cancer patients next.

When I was living in Australia they have a system which is slightly similar. You have to pay a small fee for medical visits and procedures unless you are on a low income. It helps stop time wasters and means that it's still free for those who can't afford it but those who can contribute a small amount for their visit.

The Aussie healthcare system is a lot less underfunded and doctors have a much better quality of life.

Dear oh dear. What do you mean by 'fair'? Would it be fair that someone who has worked hard all their life and been responsible with their money in order to pass it on to their children has it all taxed by the government and largely squandered, whereas someone who has been irresponsible all their life receives all sorts of benefits paid from taxes because they are 'poor'?

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Indeed, but in the case of dementia it's different.

Rarely, if ever, has a political party included such a depraved policy in their election manifesto, but in 2017 the Tories decided to cross the Rubicon by announcing a policy of thumping dementia sufferers with a wealth extraction tax to pay for their own social care.

A consideration of the root cause of the social care problem just goes to show how depraved this is. Here's a simple timeline of events.
The financial services industry gambles itself into insolvency betting on all kinds of dodgy sub-prime mortgage junk.
The Labour government steps in to save the banks and avert financial catastrophe by borrowing hundreds of billions to prop up the banks and salvage the nose-diving economy.
The Tories use this high level of borrowing as an excuse to launch their ideological austerity agenda, and set about slashing government spending.
One of the worst affected areas is social care which suffers £4.6 billion in Tory cuts (at a time of rising demand).
The Tories announce a plan to force pensioners to pay for their own social care by asset stripping the value of their homes.
The financial services industry are handed a lucrative new "equity release" market to profit from, and the Tory press describe this kind of corporate equity extraction scheme as if it's some kind of wonderful favour to the elderly that they're being allowed to live in their own house as its equity is harvested away by the banks that screwed the economy in the first place!

You must be joking....biggest laugh I have had all day after watching all the morbid election cr@p on the TV. Quite depressing I my opinion.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.
