I see what you mean harry but you can be anti tory but still be reasonable. Some are just puss filled globules of hate no matter what the subject and to imply people get dementia based on who is in government would fall in that latter category
Can I just be a fair arbiter here. I get the points that care being made about adult social care and god knows Noob and I have our differences but isn’t it a little close to home to be dragging his dad into the debate.
Moving on https://www.irishtimes.com/election2020 It's intereting to see how the Irish elections are going and just how many subjects by boths sides (as well as brexit), have a similarity to our recent elections. Varadkar apparently is not doing as well as his own party and supporters had hoped.
and of course you are right but alcoholism is also a very serious illness, of which i have been quoted of having which is not correct. It sounds as his Dad is early onset with his dementia, which in my opinion is the worst period with this evil disease having lived and worked with Alzehiemer sufferers just before i retired, my wife has dedicated the best part of her working life in caring in dementia. The care industry varies from home to home although all the standards are in place they can be excellent to woeful and thats where our Governments need to step up, this shower has failed on so many levels.
That’s also very true and a serious accusation. Did I mention I also do defamation work? Hopefully cooler heads will now prevail.
It was my family's experience (with dementia) that "Government stepping up" made a very bad situation very much worse. Family decision-making taken away, inadequate one-size-fits-all "solutions" substituted instead. Fuck the Government.
No, not sectioning. Living on your own terms in your own home until you die ... vs being carted off to a miserable old folks home. The consequences of imposing these decisions on people is not something that can be fixed with mo' money. This is aboit agency and a person's right to choose. I repeat - fuck the government for this.
Choosing to stay in your own home albeit a danger to yerself ? Agencies having the power to enforce admittance into care ? Guilt also plays a big part of not being able to provide an acceptable outcome .
Indeed. Government insinuating itself into every nook and cranny of peoples' lives. I'm sure it does. I've seen that in action.
What's the betting Boris stands down now he has got the Brexit thingy done? Stand by for a new Tory leader election.
Today in the European Parliament when SNP MPs leave Westminster I think the tune would be either “Dignity” or “Caledonia”
yip, then there was this. nationalists and their flegs eh? https://twitter.com/OxfordDiplomat/status/1222566263165214720
This seems amusing after the hysteria shown when Labour wanted to renationalise pre election. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jan/29/northern-rail-franchise-to-be-renationalised
