My father in law pays £63,960.
Yes, we've been through that recently with Mr Bs uncle, Rexi ....his was about £37k a year from his own money ....topped up by about another £6k a year from the the social . But that's not really governments ( of any colours) fault , it's because that's what private sector homes charge ....and I'm not sure how we get round that .
If the government caps the price they can charge then I'm guessing many homes would close .....or if the government takes them all over ....effectively nationalises them .....then how do they pay for it.....the public finances aren't unlimited
