The trouble is, McGrath, 'care work' is not regarded as good work to do because you are expected to work damned hard for minimum wage, often doing the most personal things for others.

Now, there's nowt wrong with that, hell we all get to that stage, pretty much, in our lives, and we all need help, care, sympathy and empathy, but most of the people who own care homes make a bloody fortune, whilst treating their staff like slaves....and sadly, often treating their residents merely as commodities to make a big fat income from.

The care home next to me, a home for adults with autism is owned by a group called......'Midas' Homes.

I think that sums it up...
