And then you just swapped to a different argument. The problem is that the state cant just fund everyone on everything, but I dont think you are going to understand anything I would say.
I did indeed.
Yes, I understand that the state can't fund everyone on everything. However it should fund everyone (or if you want to be tight some people) on somethings. I'm not really sure why you jumped to the conclusion that I think the state should fund everyone on everything.
Even if we just go with means testing for state funding (rather than fully state run facilities) someone who can't afford private care should receive state assistance.
This is especially true if they've been on benefits all their lives. Care homes cost in excess of £1500 a week, how can you expect someone who's been on benefits most of their life to have saved enough to cover even a few months of that kind of expense?
The state is paying to house her. I would not insult other peoples intelligence if I were you.
I am not actually insulting his intelligence, I am correctly doubting his ability to do logical reasoning. That is probably pretty well correlated to intelligence, but not necessarily.
