Our whole political infrastructure is screwed. It hasn’t really worked since it truly was a two-party system with a third party providing the balance. Many could argue that the Lib-Lab pact showed that as faulty and wouldn’t be completely wrong. But the premise remains. There are currently far too many divergent parties now that continue to hold sway with their permitting or withholding support. Why did we need to pump £Billions into Northern Ireland instead of into a Care System, just to keep a no-confidence vote from succeeding, and that’s just a recent example.
Why do Labour Policies have to be Worker/Benefit oriented instead of what is best for Britain?
Why do Conservative Policies have to be Business/Low Tax oriented instead of what is best for Britain?
They are all so far up their own a*ses that they have forgotten what it is to serve without self interest.
The current Care proposals sound good as sound bites, but the minute you drill down into them it shows them to be full of holes. The cap will only apply to care and not accommodation or food costs?? What is that about??
When will the government recognise that there is a huge amount of money to be made from Caring for our elderly, our less able younger people and similar. Vast amounts of profit is being taken out of the private care system by the owners of the homes, some small individuals as well as some large companies.
A news item earlier this week told of an adult with learning disabilities was ‘earning’ a Care Home £26000 per month!!! That will come from Central Government to Local Government to the care home. That’s what a fully trained nurse earns in a year!!
Fully qualified nurses start on salaries of £24,907 rising to £30,615 on Band 5 of the NHS Agenda for Change pay rates.
I’m not going to cry ‘Nationalise the Care Industry’ for obvious reasons, but how can we allow it to continue as it is??
Another VM moment!!
