Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says.

The budget blamed but there are other factors.

Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010.

Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

"It’s absolutely f****** baltic at the moment. I go in shop doorways, behind the back of shops. I had to sleep in a bin the other night.

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽

The inconvenient truth we have to face is that the term ‘looked-after’ child is one of the most commonly used oxymorons in the English language. Too many ‘looked-after’ children are pushed from pillar-to-post, neglected, abandoned & abused. Any society’s greatest task to care for its children!
