Quite happy with the deal that has been struck Jom - It holds off any prospect of another General Election and removes any chance of Corbyn & Co getting into power as I firmly believe they would be disastrous for our country and would cost us a damned sight more than £1 billion.

See the Queen's Speech vote got through Jom.

In the article about that vote there was mention of a Tory "Dementia Tax" that had been scrapped. On this I have a question. As I understand it, and please correct me if I am wrong, at the moment:

If I should suffer from dementia and require residential care my family and I have pay directly for my care through disposal of savings and assets until I am left with £23,500 at which point the State then starts to contribute. Of course if on the other hand I have been a complete and utter wastrel all my life the state jumps in and pays everything from day one.

What the Conservatives proposed was that as with the complete and utter wastrel above the State pays from day one but costs are noted and that account must be settled from the proceeds of my estate when I die. This means that family members can still live in my home while I am alive. Under this scheme the value of savings I am allowed to keep is raised from the current £23,500 to £100,000.

Now just how the F**K is that a TAX.
