(not satire – it’s the Tories!)
Emma Knight found her local Tory-run council was inviting companies to bid online to look after her 45-year-old brother James after the residential care home he was in was closed because the council claimed it was too expensive.
After making him homeless, Devon County Council then listed James – who suffered brain damage at birth – on a website available to all care companies across the county to invite them to make bids to accommodate him:
Disabled man ‘put up for auction’ on care website
Auctioning off disabled people is not a warning sign of things to come.
It’s a sign of the sorry state we’ve already allowed our once great nation to become.

“We have listened to the views of customers and their families”
Why is everyone nowadays a “customer”? That poor guy is a PATIENT!! More corporate bullshit 😦

This makes me feel, literally, sick. I’m lucky enough to have a close friend, Katherine, who knows what to do if I should have an epileptic seizure. She does not live locally and my Tory-run County and District Council seem to think I can can turn to a non-existent family for support. “Everyone’s got a family son.” “Stop calling me ‘son’, I’m at least 20 years older than you … No, not everyone has a family.”

Thank you for posting this business opportunity (hint try LinkedIn next time, better prospects 😉) but you didn’t leave the email address so I could bid. Managed to get a spare bedroom sorted from a benefit scrounger who had to give it up so need to get some £££ flowing. Dick ( http://www.dicklannister.com)

This is far too close to a Monty Python sketch for any kind of comfort. It’s the one where John Cleese plays a merchant banker, and one of the other Pythons plays a charity worker collecting money for orphans. It has the classic line from Cleese as he greets the man with the collecting tin. He reaches across his desk to shake his hand, all the while looking away from him, and says, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t remember my name at present, but I’m a merchant banker.’ Cleese’s character then completely fails to understand the basic concept of charity, and seems to think that the other character is somehow selling shares in the orphans. At one point Cleese asks ‘And how much will I get back if I invest in these orphans?’ It’s almost the same as the Tory-run council inviting tenders from private companies to look after Emma Knight’s brother here.
Slavery also comes to mind, with the Tories acting as salesmen for people bidding to own Mr Knight. So, the disabled now aren’t people who need proper care and attention from qualified medical professionals. They’re a business opportunity.
You watch them. Next year they will be trying to privatise kids in care homes.

This does not surprise me.
After looking after my ailing mother – now 91 for the last five years and logging reports.
I can say they are totally incompetent and so-called Care in the Community, is a total shambles.
Simply the left-hand does not know what the right hand is doing, but talk money, costs and they are fully afay!!

Utterly sick of Devon County Council and their mania for slashing & cutting. It is always the weakest who suffer – kids, the elderly, the disabled…
