Hypocrites will be out soon. lol
We believe in free markets and low taxation, we need less Government, those scummy dole cheats. After Covid - we need the Governent to bail us out -we need to spend spend spend.
At first glance, it seems fair to me as long as it’s ring fenced.
"The system that officials are considering is a modified version of how Japan and Germany fund social care. Both are widely admired for having created a sustainable way of financing social care to deal with the rising needs an ageing population brings.
In Japan everyone starts contributing once they reach 40. In Germany everyone pays something towards that cost from the time they start working, and pensioners contribute too. Currently 1.5% of every person’s salary, and a further 1.5% from employers or pension funds, are ringfenced to pay for care in later life.
Older people in Germany who have had their needs assessed can use the money to pay carers to help them with personal tasks at home, or for care home fees or even to give to relatives and friends for helping to look after them.
Adopting a similar approach would let Johnson say he has ended the situation whereby some pensioners deemed too wealthy to qualify for local council-funded care have to sell their homes to pay care home costs, which can exceed £1,400 a week".

I was in a hospital not long ago.
Poor old lady (80s) was left to sit in her own excrement for the 2 hours i waited to be looked at by a consultant.
The carer (bless) who was at her side the entire time (earning good money by the sounds of it too) was to engulfed into her mobile phone to even realise the old lady had had an accident.

Could you have discretely informed staff that the lady required assistance ?
strange post really
how do you know it was her carer rather than perhaps her grand daughter ???
how do you know she was soiled for 2 hours ??
if you researched to any extent you would see carers are usually very badly paid with poor conditions
and indeed knowing someone has had an "accident "and not saying anything says more about you than anyone else ??
And you kept it to yourself for 2 ****ing hours? Very caring of you.

So if the over 40's will be paying into a pot to help pay for care in our old age, does that mean it they will no longer take savings/make people sell their houses...?!

I'm more angered as to why are we copying the bloody Germans and Japanese, we fought against them! I thought British exceptionalism meant doing our own thing our way.
I hinted enough at the nhs staff that something was not right.
Didnt want to humiliate the old lady.
Even felt like taking the phone out of the young lady's hand and chucking it accross the waiting area.
It is now the norm for the majority to just walk on by.
If i was the carer then i would of done the job im employed to do.
Nhs nurses walked on by even after smelling and realising what had happened.
Does that mean that something else is on there mind? Nature of (its not my job) possible law suit's if a problem were to occur, the old lady slips whilst being cleaned.
Many variables to consider on doing such a simple thing and wiping an arse.
Well, you’ve certainly reinforced that 'norm' with your actions although you didn’t quite just 'walk on by'. You just sat there.

Or possibly it requires two HA to do the cleaning and they are waiting on another to come when they are free.
Nurse are there to provide medical assistance, thats why the also have HA now do the other jobs whilst the nurses provide medical care.
So you know what a carer earns? If its that good go and retrain.
If you were sitting beside her - was this in the A&E?
This seems like an embellished anecdote to get some righteous bias off your chest.
Not exactly in tune with just about every other post of yours that mentions Germany.
