This cartoon sums up what a lot of people have been saying to me recently. The 'debate' about climate change is irrelevant if we focus on what actions are required to achieve a better quality of life.

A letter to The Royston Crow - Care for the Elderly
How refreshing to hear Matthew Gooding in the last edition (The Crow 25/2/10) talking of inequality in his piece about care for the elderly. When you look at the figures they are shocking. The gulf between the rich and the poor is growing for all ages, and care for the elderly can be profoundly inequitable.
Where are we heading if we allow this to get worse?
The quality of your care should not depend on the depth of your pocket.
The Scots offer free social care to the elderly, so why can’t we, which would create 120,000 jobs.
The saying goes that a society should be judged on its care of the elderly - not on its devotion to wealthy bankers!
