Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Social Care. I'm at an age where I have to think about future Social Care, my kids are in the US and my Dad died from dementia. I was following how my MP voted last night bearing in mind that the average Cleethorpes house price is £145k. I doubt that many meggies (weird name that Cleethorpes people call themselves) have £86k of savings which means they will have to sell their houses if social care is needed. This new Bill was supposed to prevent that but the Tories changed it at the last minute.

Naturally, I would expect Martin Vickers (MP-Con), my MP, to vote against or at least abstain. Nope, true to form, my yes-man representive voted with the party. I emailed him to let him know how I felt and asked him how he felt he was representing his constituents. He won't answer, he never does, he has a 10k vote majority why should he care?
