vikingTON Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 1 hour ago, pandarilla said: I saw this report on newsnight last night. It's shocking. Even the guy running the wealthy care home was shocked at the handling. His home is how every home should be run - and it should be fully funded by the taxpayer. That depends on the question of which taxpayers foot the bill. Theresa May attempted to address the issue of funding social care before the 2017 election by getting recipients to pay more of the costs from their estates: this was ridiculously branded a 'dementia tax' and played a significant role in costing her a majority. Hilarious as that outcome was, part of the reason why care homes are fucked now is because the public aren't willing to pay for them. The burden on working age generations to support a legion of boomers is large enough already, while the gormless UK public have bought into the idea that inheriting assets without swingeing taxation is a divine right. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more referring to the fact that people in Scotland, which by then should be well under 50 cases per day on average, would be unable to go round their friend's house whereas people from Europe could fly to Greece for a holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nah. That first reply about the NHS producing a deeply unequal system is so close but no potato or he’s identified the wrong culprit for producing a two tier system. I was more referring to the fact that people in Scotland, which by then should be well under 50 cases per day on average, would be unable to go round their friend's house whereas people from Europe could fly to Greece for a holiday.Tbf it’s the Germans who basically own Greece now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 FFS. [emoji854] Leaving aside the fact that he's a total b*****d then, is the Denmark situation encouraging or is he just putting his spin on it?This is the key point. Far too much is put on folks past reputation. Yes these things are important to note but don't ignore the detail of what's being said. That depends on the question of which taxpayers foot the bill.

The burden on working age generations to support a legion of boomers is large enough already, while the gormless UK public have bought into the idea that inheriting assets without swingeing taxation is a divine right. Pretty much this.But let's not pretend everyone of that boomer generation has it sorted. Many don't.And we're talking about care homes, which absolutely no-one wants to end up in.You're right though, folk don't want to pay for it - but it's something that really needs to happen. Hopefully this virus gives us a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine the opening of golf courses, garden centres, fishing being allowed and dumps reopening to stop fly tipping Dumps being open doesn't stop fly tipping. Before all this happened approximately 90% of posts on our local Facebook groups were folk looking for a "cheap tip run wanted" and in what I am sure is a complete coincidence absolute bammers who have purchased a sixth-hand Transit with 200k on the clock and have set up business as "a man with a van".
