Janus Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A new tax for MPs in England should be introduced to help pay for elderly care. Retired MPs should also be made to pay if they have lucrative pensions or investments which many will have. This could then be used to ensure everyone who needs support in their old age gets it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44621047 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Why just mp's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaJones76 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Why just mp's? Indeed, a bizarre statement to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Why just mp's? Probably because this is being proposed by a committee of MP's lead by Clive Betts and as we all know they are all loaded. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/committee-led-by-sheffield-mp-calls-for-over-40s-to-pay-more-to-fund-social-care-1-9223651 Check out the one comment!

El Cid Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Why just mp's? A new tax for the over-40s in England should be introduced to help pay for elderly care for all, MPs say. Not sure which statement is the most barking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A new tax for MPs in England should be introduced to help pay for elderly care. What a mind-numbingly stupid suggestion. Did you bother to even attempt to consider how few MP's there are and what a pathetically small amount of tax would be raised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 A new tax for the over-40s in England should be introduced to help pay for elderly care for all, MPs say. Not sure which statement is the most barking! Some mp's stated all over 40's including themselves i would guess- Janus wants to tax someone except himself. Now that is barking. The only people who should pay for their care WHERE THEY CAN are the recipients,just like the way they spent the rest of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetcheeks Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I want to get my name down for the best Care Home in England-The House Of Lords. Not only is it free, but they pay you to stay there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which statement is the most barking! Or we could simply stop wasting vast amounts of money on overseas aid and the biggest drain of all on our finances, our EU membership, and plough that money into social care.
