"sn't that just a little bit insulting?"

I think we should assume that was the idea.

It's as well to remember on the Mudcat that all it takes is a click on the name at the head of a post, and all our previous posts can be revealed. It can be quite enlightening, as mandotim pointed out there.

This thread is drifting somewhat, as threads do. But drifting into a squabble rather than a diversion.

Meanwhile the cuts are with us, and the question of what to do about them. My inclination is to pick out the monstrosities which cannot be defended, and which bring into contempt people who try to defend them, rather than just a broad front denunciation of the cuts across the board, which can make it easier for the perpetrators and their friends to dodge.

And the issue of the decision to take money from people in residential care is just such a monstrosity which cannot be defended". That's not the reason I keep on coming back to it - I do that because it's such a disgusting policy, and one that will directly hurt people I know. But it is also a decision which has the capacity to do real damage to those responsible, and where there is a real possibility that it could cause the coalition ranks to waver, and that a reversal of the policy before it takes effect is on the cards.
