I remember years ago campaigning to get the local council to improve an obviously dangerous road junction near our home. ’There have been no deaths or serious injuries’ they said, ’so we can’t justify the expenditure’. For at least 25 years successive governments have, in just the same way, avoided and obfuscated over the issue of long-term care. And now, far too late, we’re asked by Matt H. to salute our gallant, minimum wage care workers. I hope that sticks in your craw as much as it does in mine.; but let’s hope this carnage leads, at the very least to some much-overdue government nettle-grasping.
