Very off topic I know, sorry, but tonight on TV Panorama showed a film about how elderly people are being made to sell their homes to fund 'social care', when legally a lot of them should be recieving free care (funded by local authorities) on the NHS, after paying in a lifetimes National Insurance contributions. All shown against a clip of Blair nine years ago saying that his government was against old people having to sell their homes to provide long term nursing care in their old age.
