Why is it in this country that the only people to have any rights are the wild, the feral and the dishonest?

I saw this on the news the other week and thought at the time how inhumane it was..as we get older does authority think that along with our faculties our need for a secure and safe environment diminshes also? To forcibly, and yes to me to remove a person from their home, friends and psudo family is I feel a forcible act and is reprehensible.. these pentioners ask for nothing but to live out the rest of their lives in their home.. It is the only one they have now, and they are happy there..

but I forgot, being happy isn't a requirement these days in Britain is it? We can squander money on allsorts of daft PC ideals, throw cash away on playstations and adventure holidays for every scallywag who mugs an old person, but just let an old lady in her last months live where she feels safe.............................................no way.

There are times i wish i had the money to get out of this country, i'm afraid money talks suppose it always has and always will, people come a very long way down the pecking order, like you say if your one of the wasters who gives nothing but takes all you are well rewarded in todays Britain.. one day they will get a shock when they find out theres bugger all left they have had it all.

Stockton Council wanted it closed as it wa snot fit for purpose and needed over £2 million to bring it up to scratch.
All but one resident were happy to move out but Ms Hossack was brought in when local ex Labour councillors saw the opportunity to bloody the nose of the ruling Lab/Con pact.
In my mind they conned the family of Sarah the old lady into fighting it in the courts which they lost and also lost the appeal. She moved out amid tv and media coverage and settled into new home straight away.The council even moved her old nurses with her to help her settle in.
The building is still empty 14 months later with plans to flatten it and build a new care home on hold dueto lack of funds.
The site I set up is still online to remind councillors what they said and did or didnt do at the time.http://saveparkview.orgfree.com/
