Ah yes I heard something that would tie in with last night. If you've got any assets worth more than £100k (ie your house) then you'll have to spend that on your social care. Instead of being in uproar ('i've paid my taxes all my life etc') the man on the street seemed to agree with it ('oh yes well the money's got to come from somewhere'). Sod that, it's a genetic lottery if you wind up needing such care - why shouldn't we all pay in? Besides, how will this affect precious house prices? what's the advantage in having an expensive house if you can lose the lot?

What next suicide booths because it's better you don't put a strain on the country's finances. Austerity for the people is a choice the tories have made (none of this 'there's no more money' schtick, there's money for whatever they deem important).
