Indeed, there is a growing problem and the current (non) options for tackling that problem are unfair.
We have to deal with the problem. We all know that
What we realy need in my opinion is a proper national care service - paid for by increases in inheritance tax (I'd like to see a combination of slightly lowered entry threshold plus an increase in rate above a second threshold). Payment according to ability to pay and service based on need.
Somehow the Tories managed to miss (or just didn't care about) the very obvious inequity built into their proposals. Rather undermines their reputation for 'competence' I'd say.
I am not sure what the differences were between what Andy Burnham proposed (and took a hammering from the Daily Mail and others) and the current Tory proposals. He says his were similar - but fairer. Anyone care to enlighten?
Or if you look at asI haven't read widely around this one yet but surely, as highlighted a few posts before this one, it doesn't seem right that...
- Someone with £300k in cash
- Someone with £100k in cash and £200k in property equity
...are treated differently, does it?
I'm trying to find out some decent information in plain English what this actually means, and how we can all soften the blow financially for our parents.
Or if you look at as
Person A owns 4 bedroom house in Workington value £250000
Person B owns 4 bedroom house in Brighton value £750000
Is it right that person B should pay 4 times as much for their home social care?

I'm no fan of this policy as it may well affect me, or more accurately, affect my children, and not in a good way. It is driven by the ever increasing number of old people in our society needing care, the increasing cost of providing that care, and also by the fact that medical science is keeping more of us alive for much longer, in many cases with medical conditions which a few years ago would have killed us off.Normally I'd be all for this, but sadly we all know this is only being driven by the exorbitant cost of Brexit rather than any sensible social care policy.
Maybe it's just me but I struggle to see why social care is any different from medical care ( a lot of people need both at the same time ). Social care should be 'free' in the same way as medical care. So yes to your idea that it should be based on need and no to the ability to pay.
All he did was tell a bunch of people that they're the best etc, it had nothing to do with running our country.When May can make a speech like this I will buy the idea of her 'leadership': https://twitter.com/liamyoung/status/866048543873748992
She is too scared to talk to real people. And when she does try - she is exposed.
Is that what she believes, or is it just what some people from the church she went to believe?You don't think many people, IN BRIGHTON AND HOVE, will care that she believes being gay is a form of demonic possession and can be "cured"?
I never know if this is real or fiction - have you got a link?They won't care that she's mental? She said she cured a man of deafness by touching him. She's an idiot.
I can understand that point of view, but on the subject of Brexit (which is by far the main subject for the next term), I'd rather the government didn't have to pander to those with more extreme views.This election isn't about who will be PM, Theresa May will be our Prime Minister still on June 9th, however this election is the message we send to the kind of government we want her to form, and for me I'd rather she didn't extend her majority and requires political consensus resulting in more balanced policies.
dont know why you'd look at it like that, it makes no sense why you'd think person B is paying more, unless care costs more in Brighton than in Workington (quite likely but not 4 times).
