Socialism is great until you run out of somebody else's money , remember that line .
I take the point it was nationalised industries that were attacked in the 80's but it still amounts to the same thing with cheap migrant labour plus their dependants .
Perhaps they should be a National Union Of Care Workers that every care worker in the UK was a member of and perhaps they should elect a leader who was formidable and gained them greatly increased pay and conditions .
Perhaps migrant labour wouldn't be so attractive then .
