Camerons 'Big Society'.....the young look after the old..so the government doesn't need to!

Regardless of the fact that they have already paid into a government scheme that says they will look after you!

And it's great for those of you that live a mile or so away from your nearest and dearest, buying 'bogof' foods or cooking 3 for the price of 2 meals (be honest, does it actually cost you financially?)..

ain't too bad if you can drop in once a week from 30+miles away (at least they wont starve if you take them to the local 2 for 1 'pub').....

and once a month for 100+ miles away...they won't get too bloated in death to stink the house out before it's noticed!

Margaret was pointing out that she could afford a little help....many others cannot! She is fortunate (if you can call an hour a day for someone who has worked all their life and contributed to the country fortunate)..

This is nothing to do with community or kindness or neighbourliness!....it's an expectation of, after paying into a society for many years and increasing its wealth, being able to live in comfort without having to pay 'again'!!
