Gordon Brown Promises Free Home Care for 'Middle Britain'


By Toque - Posted on 07 February 2010

In a speech to the King's Fund on Monday, Gordon Brown is expected to pledge free one-on-one home care by specialist nurses for every cancer patient in England, if Labour wins the election.

Let's see if he mentions England at all, shall we?

Gordon Brown has already reneged on his 2008 pledge to give free prescriptions to all people in England with cancer and other long- term conditions.

In today's Number 10 podcast (Podcast - what a twat!), Gordon Brown stated that he came from 'Middle Britain' and stands for 'Middle Britain':

He reiterated his plans for a reform of England's social care (his native Scotland already has free personal care):

It’s not fair that so many people already struggling with the loss of independence - who have worked hard all their lives and saved for their retirement - are faced with the prospect of running down their savings or selling their homes to fund their care.

Or that those seeing their parents and grandparents suffering from conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia not only have to watch as their dignity fades, but have the heartbreak made worse by the costs of getting support.

So I am proud that we are about to bring forward a new system of social care that will directly benefit many families of middle Britain."

I'm sorry to use such language, but this man is a total cunt.

Gordon Brown Spits out England

Yesterday I speculated as to whether Gordon Brown would utter the word 'England' in his speech on health and social care in England.

I'm rather taken aback to report that he did, just the once:

And for too long in England we have tolerated a care system
