Isn't it time that our politicians of all parties started to provide for our elderly?
We have 'Children's Homes', 'refuge for battered women', 'Dog's Homes' and other 'Animal Sanctuaries', all these are necessary, but why do we seem to shy away from providing for our elderly in their last years?
Perhaps the politicians should take elderly care out of the hands of the profit mad private sector and provide more state subsidised homes for our elderly.
Where would the money come from?
Well the elderly person would give up their state pension, and the rest could be taken out of the huge overseas aid we dish out, surely our elderly should come first?
