I reckon they should go the whole fucking hog and legalise firearms. At least that way when I’m a fucking dribbling mess the Mrs can easily fucking kill me/herself so there’s a bit left in the pot for our fucking daughter to have a half decent stab at life after she’s paid off her fucking student cunting loan.
Cunts.
It’s more the murder you’d have to legalise, rather than the firearms…
So the last 40 years of telling people to own their homes so they can leave something to their families was just a convenient lie?
Why is £100k to pass down, if you’ve spent 15 years in social care not enough, for example?
Sets it up nicely though. Fair play to the fucking Tories for being thorough.
“Yes, we know there’s a housing shortage and you can’t afford a one bedroom flat but what’s the point anyway? By the time you’ve slaved for us for your whole life to pay for it we’ll just take it back anyway. May as well just pay us rent you stupid battery fucking chicken.”
Isn’t a minimum of £100k not enough though to give her a stab? That’d pay off her Student Loan and give her a cracking deposit for a house.
don’t people tend to cash out their assets bit before the dribbling wreck stage now? srs question, I thought that was thing ppl done now. Except my old man, who is still wheelchairing round his fkn mansion like Professor Xavier, and not giving me a fkn bean.
Yeah fuck it. 8 years till the mortgage is paid off. Sell this house buy a 90 grand flat/rabbit hutch in Hull and spunk the rest on drugs and booze. Then rely on a non existent social care system to pick up the bits.
You need to accumulate more assets, you lazy goat. What have you been doing with ur time?
When times come, cash out, take it to vegas and put it on black. Or red, that’s upto you. Plenty of firearms in America, so you can easily resolve the problem that way, if things Go Bad.
Mostly masturbation and forum whining.
I wonder what sort of voter owns all these care homes that are about to suck up everyone’s equity/inheritance?
It feels like you’re all misunderstanding the policy here. SoS definitely has judging by his 85/15 scenario.
If you have assets, including a house of over £100k, the Government pays for your care, as it does for if your under that threshold. When you die, your house likely gets sold by the kids, and the government takes the amount you used, down to the £100k threshold. So if you sell your house for £150k, and use £100k of social care, you will pay for £50k, and the Government covers the other £50k, and £100k goes to your next of kin.
Can someone tell me what is unfair about that?
I can hear a steam train…toot, toot!
You work your whole life and own your £200K house. You end up in a care home for three years at £750 per week before you die leaving half your £200k to your offspring.
You inherited a £5 million pile from Daddy and after spending 3 years in a £750 per week care home you die leaving approx £4.9 million wad to your offspring.
Seems fair to me.
Don’t they have to pay 40% on that £4.9m? srs question no trolls pls
£2.8m I make it, due to inheritance tax. That £2.1m then goes towards public services.
Either way, that’s always been an unfairness of life and is an edge case scenario.
Good. The fucking cunt can afford it.
That was ages ago. Thought i had got away with it.
It’s a disastrous policy. Is it capped or not?
What do we know? Having studiously pretended that they just weren’t into the commitment thing, the Tories have at the last moment plighted their troth. We have numbers, some of them with £ signs attached. Elderly people can have £100,000 in assets (up from £23,250) before they’ll be asked to pay for social care, but they will be asked to pay whether in their own home or elsewhere. There’ll be no cap on costs, but a promise that nobody will have to sell their home for care while they’re alive – which translates to a bill once they’re not. Of course, as Labour’s Andy Burnham was not the first or last to point out, this used to be snarled at by some as a “death tax”. But that was back in the days when caps on energy bills were “Marxist” and not official Conservative policy.
Is it worth me setting up a trust fund?
