Thread Name: BS: Mrs Thatcher had dementia
Subject: RE: BS: Mrs Thatcher had dementia
Hang on!
Who was it shut down all the old folks homes and care facilities which looked after ordinary people who had dementia?
Oh Yes - Margaret Bloody Thatcher! Because it cost taxpayers money, and poor people didn't deserve to be cared for because "there was no such thing as society" and only rich people who could pay for medical care deserved to be treated.
I expect that she will be in private care with one to one nursing 24/7 unlike the people she robbed of any chance of dying with dignity under NHS hospitals or local council care.

Actually, I cannot feel any sympathy for her or her family. They are just as bad as she was. At least when My Grandmother had dementia, we were under an old style true Labour council, who hadn't at that time been forced by the Tories to sell off the local care homes. The homes don't exist any more, so I DO feel pity for the poor people who no longer have the option.

Quack!
