Council debate on charging for domicilliary care

What a bunch of mad fools the Lib Dems looked tonight. In a Council debate they spent an hour trying, feebly, to justify their evil means testing and charging.

No one can understand why they are doing it but the people on the streets are moving away from them fast. All for the sake of £250k the funding of which we found in a single afternoon with no cuts to front line services. They are foolish as this could be the beginning of a bigger campaigning unless they pull back during the preparation for next year's budget.

No politics in this actually. Just simple to understand that this is unnecessary. The Lib Dem MP? He stands on the sides and does nothing and when I ask for a private meeting to discuss how we help these vulnerable people he plays silly games. Trouble is that Lib Dems do not understand that not everything is about politics. There comes a time when you need to do things for people and this Lib Dem MP and council is failing in that simple priority.
