This government has gone mad. They have considered the future increase in Britain’s elderly population and the impact this might have on what is termed the ‘social care system’. In other words old people’s homes.
One proposal is that, upon retirement, folk will have to cough up £20,000 to pay for it. Good grief! What have we been paying National Insurance Contributions for all these years.
‘Bronco’ Brown should take himself off to Norway and see how they care for the elderly without asking them to put their hands deeper into their own pockets. In Tromsø, for example, they are so proud of their care for elderly that bus tours of the city actually include a stop outside the old people’s home overlooking the fjord and almost next door to a brand-new hospital.
Then he might learn something!
