General Discussion
Perhaps I don't want to make compost, and there are good reasons to have a bonfire. Who says I annoy my neighbours? Please stick to the original thread about nanny state and don't be a proper Charlie.
@carer, More sweeping statements How do you know all the people I talk to are idiots? You must be very clever. How do you know all bonfires are smelly.? Do you know that I check with neighbours before a bonfire to ensure no washing is out etc. I suggest you do try and do a coherent response without just using sweeping statements as you obviously cannot rationalise discussion if ...
Thank you for that clarification. The word profiteering comes to mind. Is the government doing anything about that? Or are they taking a "laissez faire/let the market decide/demand is outstripping supply therefore prices will rise" approach? Do all care/nursing homes now come under the NDC?

Goverment dont run care homes most are privatley run so do the owners of these establishments not have a duty of care towards there staff should they not have seen this coming and made preperations.

When the Labour Party was in power (as well as even more recently) the BBC was oft times accused of being right wing and Conservative supporting.
