    And I see no reason why my money should be taken to pay for your care that you are perfectly capable of paying for yourself.

    Contentious maybe, as I understand that many people genuinely cant save anything and will never be able to due to their circumstances, but you have no objection to having to pay for someone who perhaps spent their money on 'booze, birds and fast cars and squandered the rest' perhaps knowing that the government will pick up the tab.

    Even if you can afford to choose - and you pick the nicest you can find .... you're woken within the first 24 hours by a phone call saying "They're kicking off .... hate it here .... want you to come and take them away again". Great start to my day today :(

    Hoping I don't get the same desperate phone call tomorrow.
