Who will have the right to break into their homes next? How long before this is law over here is Obama (shudder) were to be elected?
Sheep have three speeds, graze, cower and stampede.
when obama passes that plan, maybe ACORN will be hired as the social workers.
Sounds like the Gestapo to me.
Coming next month:
The State (Islamic UK) will have the right to remove
any organ needed for a Moslem (citizen or illegal alien)
Because we care.
Oh, and isn't Europe the place that is well down the path to legalized euthansia? Hey, when it's your time to go, the government will show up at your door and let you know.
I was in my local gun shop yesterday afternoon. You know, the one with the big McCain/Palin poster in the window and the picture of Sarah leaning over a dead caribou.
They are selling guns, ammo, and accessories like there was no tomorrow. The owner said my gun purchase was the ninth that day. The other guy working there said, “Everybody’s looking to buy ‘Obama Insurance.’”
Remove me from my home? Sounds like a scene from Monty Python, carting off the ‘dead’ during the plague and the guy protesting “I’m not dead yet” while being loaded up for disposal.
Only if citizens are given the right to break into Congressmen’s homes to see if they are hiding kickbacks in their refrigerators. ;)
When I get to be old and senile, any “Social Worker” breaking into my home to do *anything* “for my own good” will leave my home on a stretcher and under Citizen’s Arrest.
Just think, Omaba is getting a “woodie” over this one, drooling with the desire to invade your homes and search them without cause of warrants
Literally everything I read, hear or see posted here about the UK is dire. Is it really as bad as all that over there?
You should bring your own body bag if you want to try that here.
Oh, Britannia....why not - the thieves break in now upon their unarmed citizenry.
Pressure groups maintain that the law is not strong enough and that greedy and violent relatives and carers too often prey on the elderly.
This proposed law is only a first step according to those who want this kind of intrusion. The Left wants power over you and every aspect of your life.
Some of the comments are outright hilarious! Example:
"An idiotic idea: social workers have not yet proved themselves to be believable, competent human beings."
Gotta love that dry, Brittish wit!
That would be #s 32 and 38 of the “Communist Goals.”
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
This article disturbed me especially. I married and moved to Virgina to live on my husband’s family farm. After about 20 yrs, grandpa died and grandma quickly went downhill. In a couple yrs. Alzheimer’s took root and my father-in-law came up to care for her (we lived next door).
Within 2 yrs father-in-law found he had cancer. I quit my job and cared for both. No immediate family came to assist. Just me every day.
My “Christian” sister-in-law came (finally) from very far away (50 miles) when her dad was @ 4th stage & hospice was called in. She stood and YELLED at me how I was not “taking good enough care of her father or he wouldn’t be in such bad shape.” Really? Throat cancer that has spread all over to the point they won’t treat normally has an effect on one’s overall health. Then she complained to the social worker how SHE wanted to be primary care giver (she’s pregnant and lives 50 miles away mind you). I reminded her dad needed morphine twice per day...only primary can pick up the subscription. She didn’t care and had her MOTHER (divorced from her dad) call me to ask why I “wouldn’t let her be primary?” OMG!!!!??
Well, father-in-law died, and grandma’s other child, our aunt promptly left for grandma’s after the funeral (didn’t go to graveside), packed her a suitcase, informed us she was taking her back to South Carolina when we returned...didn’t allow any of grandma’s friends to say goodbye (although grandma only recognized a few) and happily took over the farm finances (forcefully) and spent $8000 per month for grandma to have “wonderful care” at what I like to call a death farm (old folks’ home). Within 6 mos. grandma who was still physically healthy managed to break a finger (someone else closed it in a door), fall in the bathroom and break her hip, and then come down with pneumonia.
We went to see her and it was heartbreaking. She recognized me, told me she loved me...said she hoped we weren’t “fighting” over the farm. Then told me something which haunted me for a long time:
“My daughter brought me here and tells me this is home”. Then she pointed out the window at a palm tree and said, “Those don’t grow in south-west Virginia. Please get me out of here.”
Nice to know the likes of my auntie & sister-in-law also managed to have grandma’s will “made clear” and resigned ONE MONTH before grandma died. We were supposed to inherit all of the physical farm with the $$$ in the bank going to the other two. they changed it to where the farm had to be liquidated. We fought for 5 yrs and had partial victory, but let me end with this....
IF THE STATE COMES TO TAKE AN ELDERLY PERSON...DON’T BELIEVE THEY’LL LEAVE THEIR PERSONAL POSSESSIONS BEHIND...EVEN IF IT’S A FAMILY FARM AND THEY ALL LIVE THERE. If it happens with family, imagine what the socialist would do?
Any social worker breaking into my home will experience the afterlife first hand.
This is another step towards the libeerals’ totalitarian dream.
