A typically 'to the point' article by Ryan. One of the reasons I look at the Gruaniadn (well for gawds sake, Toynbee is just senile, Jenkins demented and as for many others....)

Institutionalised cuelty and mistreatment. No wonder people increasingly fear old age and incapacity.

And in England (well the UK as they control all of us at the moment), Labour acquiesce in lonely painful lives and deaths.

‘We’re very glad we’ve done it’: the Liverpool couple who fostered more than 40 children

People who really do something! Most politicians (just as an example) should hang their heads in shame. They won’t of course. In the absence of power they will just grab the money….

Partly due to the strain on local council budgets & partly due to continuing problems in the provision of children's social care in England, the Govt. is today announcing a move to require firms to share their detailed finances with Govt. to start to work towards reducing 'excessive profits' in the sector.

Of course, Wales has already moved to shift provision to not-for-profit providers for the same reasons, so England currently looks behind the curve on this.
