ONCE again we see writ large, the attitude of the Tories and Lib Dems towards our most vulnerable fellow citizens.

The elderly, the mentally ill, the disabled, the drug dependent and the children who are condemned to live in families dependent on decreasing economic support.

Another care home to be closed, without any plan of what to replace it with, or when.

A child drowns, because they cannot swim 20 yards.

Unless you virtually imprison your child (and I know some who do) you cannot keep them away from water. Twas ever so.

We throw our hands up and launch a crowdfunding page. And then we close the facilities that might help save their lives and provide a great opportunity for fun and exercise.

“The price of everything but the value of nothing” is the phrase that springs to mind.

I am a pensioner. I am far from being wealthy, unlike the managers of the ex-managers of the banks (like the Halifax) that we bailed out.

I was fortunate to be a child in a time with different attitudes towards the most vulnerable.

If there was a requirement to raise the council tax or other taxes by a few pence a week to provide the required funding, I would say “do it”.

The best argument for an independent Yorkshire that I have ever heard.
