Is this the biggest socialist advance since the war?

the people who will put the Tories back will be the people who traditionally wouldn't vote Tory. The tabloid readers and those that go for the sound bites, that go for the mudslinging and character assassination, who believe the drivel coming out of the media and who don't have enough about em to engage, to learn and see the system for what it is. Then there are the olds, many of whom have a black and white attitude and want the Empire back. (LOL)

 

I would genuinely like to know why dementia comes under social care rather than health care. Isn't is a diagnosis the same as any other?

It would take a very brave government in the world to classify it as a medical problem however my mother was so far down the dementia road it became technically a nhs problem and all her care home payments in her last few months were paid for by the nhs

 

Correct! You made the rules up. Say what you want and put lol at the end (forgot the smilie face...damn)

 

What's the definition of it that stops it being medical? My grandad had Alzheimer's we cared for him in his own home but sadly he died shortly after getting very bad. I remember him being able to go into respite but no idea who paid. It was mid 90's.

Ironically, in real life - Warren Mitchell was a life long socialist and Spurs supporter.

 

You actually know nothing about me or how I have historically voted. So don't make assumptions. This has got like all other political debates on here.

 

It's interesting to see the demise of the tabloids, and by supposition their influence.

What should be a concern is that most news is read online - provided by the likes of google, facebook etc......those very same companies that avoid tax!

 

Their headlines still influence and are everywhere when you go to the shops or petrol station.

The bit about web address ending is a bit ---well ?.. I have dot org uk and .com purely for my own pleasure

 

So is saint Jeremy going to pay for full care for all dementia patients ? Now that would be interesting

 

Either way, you can guarantee they won't pay for it. They'll just deny knowledge of expenses rules again.

Who told you that?

 

I do know that there's a debate ongoing about the social/health care bit and I think it would be preferable to fund that rather than massive tax breaks and sweetheart deals for Starbucks's et al.

For me the problem will all of it is making services 'profitable' with shareholders and dividends to pay and that's why it should be nationalised. No private company, insurance, healthcare etc, is ever going to say 'it's ok, we don't want to make money from it' or 'we'll plough anything we make back into it'. Branson only buys up the profitable parts of railways (tickets) and the expensive bits like trains and tracks are still ours to fix. I don't understand how that is even lawful? Oh and if he doesn't make profit (esp his NHS ventures) he can walk away with no responsibility or term to complete.
