It is a sad fact of life for many infirm people facing care in a home in their old age that they are being asked to pay for that care, often through a charge amounting to tens of thousands of pounds on their house, to be sold after their death to repay that debt. I had believed care was included in the National Insurance I've been paying for all my working days, but I've since discovered I'll be in exactly the same boat as the person featured in your Article, as are many others. When younger folk talk about costs of care for 'older' folk, they seem to forget these people have already paid up front for it.

Really does make ye feel sick especially when ye look at the new prison that has cost millions that they've built up here in Peterhead to hoose low life scum !! its totally all wrong !! :angry:

The truth of the matter is, that Britain no longer looks after the british. Its high time that Britain realised, that what we have today, is the result of the sacrifices that these heroes gave. As an ex serviceman, it sickens me to the core how this country has descended into a hostel for others, and treats its own country men and women in an appalling way. Very sad.

A rather piteful situation I would have to say "Unfortunately" & a shame on the government there. One hopes thou My Gold card etc here, gives me a better quality of life compared to his, if I'm fortunate enough to reach his age type of thing.

Enjoy

aye and that is evident even at the Chemists,not for the first time have I been in a queue for a prescription when in will come a low life smack head who as soon as he walks in he walks to the front to be given his dose of methadone and the chemist kindly asks you to wait till he has sorted out the "gentleman", a gentleman now that is a laugh,all these dope heads should be given nowt,how much does it cost to give them all a free fix,I know what I would like to give them and it would not be methadone :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:
