I have been reading and watching the news in the last few weeks, and the revelations of the daily telegraph, regarding, mps exctravigant expenses claims off the back of our taxpayers, it seems to me this countries morals and principles are one of greed and power, while elderly britons who have worked hard all their lives. and in some cases fought for our country, have been abandoned, by both the labour party and the tories,
many are being forced to sell their homes and spend all they have earned and saved for their families, to pay greedy private care homes cashing in on the old and sick,

The 'labour' goverment has renegeged on its manifesto commitments and betrayed our old folk, leaving them to be ruined and ripped off at the hands of Margaret Thatchers ' free market'
The breakdown in community and family life, brought about by the, self - first culture of the capitalist system introduced by the Tories, and adopted by Labour, has meant that more and more old people are being left, frail and alone, to go into care.
and because labour has carried on Thatchers ' privatisation policies,
the majority of that care is no longer provided by the state and local councils, but by ruthless profiteers out to squeeze the old and the sick for every penny they can get,

British people who have contributed to our nation for a liftime deserve the best care and shelter that the nation can provide in their twilight years, i believe it is the duty of the state to provide the standard of care our old folk desrve there should be no place for profit when providing such essential service for our people,
Private care homes pay as little as possible to their staff and make them work long and usocialiable hours, it is a disgrace that the care of our longest- serving citizens should be left at the mercy of the private sector, handed over to people who have no scruples about squeezing a profit out of old age.
we need to return our care homes to the public sector this is what happens when private companies are encoraged to make a profit out of providing care for our old folks this is what i will fight against, we need to stand up and be counted, and not let this happen anymore
