"No the government certainly doesn't - care is appalling. However, many foreign people I know are disgusted how the public also treat their family members. A Greek friend cannot understand why we would use homes etc " Yes i can see his point. i dont like the way old people are treated as if they are stupid. | |||

"No the government certainly doesn't - care is appalling. However, many foreign people I know are disgusted how the public also treat their family members. A Greek friend cannot understand why we would use homes etc " My grandmother has just gone into a home at the age of 87. We as a family have cared for her between us for 15 years, but sometimes a loved one's needs are too much for the family to cope with physically in their own home. I do agree though, that we don't do enough for our elderly people. It's all always down to budgets. Having said that - I've dealt with some fantastic carers & health professionals who really do care. | |||

It should be written in to our constitution otherwise, why pay tax if everyone knows that they're going to be treated like a liability? | |||

"the European countries mentioned, I'd say have many rural communities...city dwelling western life probably has much of the same 'family' values as many a country theres plenty wrong in some of those countries too, fascism,Catholicism,homophobia,massive poverty/wealth divides " Lol the point made was other counties look after the elderly. Not saying some of them dont have other issues but it irrelevant to this topic. Fact is they do look after the elderly. Uk can do same too. Cant expect government to look after your family, only we can do ourselves | |||

"Cant expect government to look after your family, only we can do ourselves " Of course you can expect it when you pay tax and national insurance for it throughout your entire adult life. The government take a big chunk of everything people earn, supposedly to provide care for them in their old age, or if they are ill and can't work. People can't look after their elderly relatives because they are working all hours to try to make ends meet because wages are rising far more slowly than the cost of living and everyone is being taxed into the ground. If people are expected to care for their elderly relatives then the government need to stop charging everyone through the nose at the same time. | |||

"I believe in looking after your own. Which is what used to happen. Look back 50 years and compare the help the elderly get now than they used to and yes they get so much more help. " Society is vastly different now. Its not comparable in the slightest. | |||

"Do you think this country does enough to look after senior citizens in this country?" I think the big figure in payouts in pensions and benefits say we don't do badly although in reality help could be targeted to the more vulnerable in society. Then you have to decide where you get it from. | |||

And yet the government can afford huge pay rises, subsidised restaurants and bars, every increasing expense accounts, second homes, plush offices stuffed with antique desks and ostentatious carpeting and wall coverings... We can give billions to Europe and in foreign aid... We can host the bloody Olympics... | |||
