Looking at my council tax bill, the foollowing apply

Non adult social care £1376.87 Adult social care precept £69.63 Police &
crime commissioner £216.00 District council £174.02 Pa3ish Council
£56.65

TOTAL £1893.32

So 72% of my council tax is on 'non adult social care'

What exactly the **** is that?

I don't even know what plain old ordinary "social care" is! I suspect I'd
be pretty furious if I ever found out, so perhaps in this case, ignorance
is bliss.

It's things like residential homes and going round to people's houses
and feeding and washing them. You may be furious that they can't just
die in their own squalour, but some of us are not.


Of course the tax regime means that the traditional thing of having your
family look after you is now unaffordable for most families.

The state takes the responsibility and the money from the next generation.

It's called socialism. It's all about being institutionally uncaring.
