Yup. Care homes staffed by imported cheap labour . The pensioner haters will console themselves while they are lying in a pool of piss waiting next to the bloke who owned a home for the care worker to change the nappy with both too frightened to complain. Thats equality for you. According to someone on here there 80% British care workers So the immigrant care workers will be spread far and Between. Still one in five workers and not necessarily a homogeneous spread.

It doesn't end there, if they are fortunate enough to own their homes outright, and have the misfortune of needing extra care in their old age, the government will take their homes off them, flog them off to pay for their over inflated care home fees, while being neglected and mistreated to boot. That's the worst thing about having private care providers Listen you plant pot, Mrs Jones who owns her own home that is worth £700,000 is in a care home in a bed next to Mrs Smith who lived in a council house with no savings, they are BOTH paying the same care home fees, but one is getting it for Free and the other has had her assets taken off her to pay for it.
The moral of the tale, it doesn't pay that Mrs Jones worked hard all of her life and saved, now the government have took it all off her to pay for her care home fees , Mrs Smith who wasn't quite as Thrifty or fortunate gets the same level of care as Mrs Jones.
My argument, both Mrs Jones and Mrs Smith should have the same dignified level of care regardless of status or money, why should money come down to how you are treated when you are ill.

Care operators have been accused of “shocking abuse” of migrant workers who are allegedly being forced to pay back thousands of pounds in recruitment fees, housed in substandard accommodation and asked to work 80-hour weeks....
I don't doubt one minute So why do you encourage it then?

So why do you encourage it then? Encourage what private care providers to rip off hard working many woman and put them.in unfit accommodation. Can't see how I encourage that And don't forget most of these care owners are white British.

Oh look, another tedious left wing "Blame the pensioners" thread. 🙄 The one benefit that most recipients have actually paid for and yet they still get to "Enjoy" the worst pension of any comparable European country. Meanwhile we continue to dole out barrow loads of money to spongers who've never contributed a penny. Go figure. Indeed The max you can accrue is given by 30 years of minimum contributions. As i pointed out these bastards stole far more than that, for over half as many years again. Thieving fucking £&£&s

Waspi women who could be owed money in their pensions due to an error linked to child benefit claims have called the issue a “catastrophe” that has left them struggling to heat their homes or pay vital bills. The Treasury admitted last month that more than 210,000 parents who may have been underpaid thousands of pounds on their state pension could be kept waiting up to 18 months to begin receiving arrears. The issue was highlighted last year by former pensions minister Sir Steve Webb, who explained it mainly affects stay-at-home mothers who made a claim for child benefit between 1978 and 2000. A person’s state pension entitlement is based on their national insurance record – but in some cases where the person was claiming child benefit, the national insurance credits they should have received were not transferred across properly.

And my wife is one of them, she should have received her State Pension at the age of 60 years after making additional payments to cover the short time she could not work full time when looking after our children, she had to wait until she reached the age of 66 years before she could claim what she paid for
