A disgrace

I found this link on Facebook. In the nineteenth century, people with mental health issues were put into workhouse infirmaries, being variously described as imbeciles, idiots, lunatics and feeble-minded. Standards of care have improved marginally in the meanwhile, but the Government is looking back fondly to those earlier times with a view to cutting the little care that currently exists. It's another shameful example of a conservative government washing its hands of the vulnerable, in order to save money. People have short memories.
