Our pensioners have paid for Cradle to Grave care.

This countries elderly people have spent their working lives paying taxes and what were mandatory N.I. contributions for what should now be cradle to grave care.

Unfortunately the former Thatcher Government initiated rolling back the "role of the state" in the 1980's, and New Labour have embraced the Thatcherite ethos from their general election victory in 1997, todate.

I believe that our pensioners should all receive free residential care funded by the state, and that they should also receive a much higher state pension linked to increases in national prosperity through the earnings link.

If you also believe that our elderly people deserve a decent state pension, please sign my group's Petition on the Downing Street Web Site, here is the direct link to that Petition,-
