The most chilling words in British politics

Andy Burnham , this weeks Health Secretary (I've never heard of him either), says 'cruel lottery' of elderly care must end.
"Mr Burnham said care of the elderly should be a "priority issue" and there should be a "fair and universal" system in place."
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. "Fair" means those who are are getting something useful should have it revoked and "universal" means that everyone must suffer the same levels of mediocrity. That is apparently a "priority issue". Who could tell it wasn't?

12 years in power to get it right, 12 years of making it worse and now they campaign on setting priorities?

Perhaps if they had not wasted 12 years following the OECD equalisation plan, they may have spent more of our time and money where it was needed.

Its time to put an end to Labour, or in the words of the Boating Lake attendant, "Come in number 12, your time is up".

Ian,

You talk as if Labour ever wanted to do the right thing...


No, they have ideology, a bankrupt, inhuman, levelling, oppressing ideology that renders all to clay.

This proposal is about vote buying. There is another word for it: Corruption.

It is an "enclosure" of part of our lives. If you have, it will be seized "for the People". If you did not bother to provide for yourself, you will be looked after, sort of.
