Andie can not come with me so he will be looking after my daughter and grand daughters.
I will not be on Gransnet for a couple of hours.

The two things are not mutually exclusive.

I have just seen Gerry's thread about a charge being placed on the son's / daughter's house. Gerry has mentioned care fees being passed down the generations before.
If Gerry was in power are we going to have a situation in the future where somebody has the ability to become a doctor for example will not be able to afford the training because some relatives 3 generations back have required care? and they have got to pay that debt.

Another problem is you do get situations when people in their 20's and 30's for example become violent due to mental health issues and have to be put in some sort of care institution.
Should the home which he owns jointly with his wife be taken which may have children be taken and then his wife and children thrown on to the street.
