Chalk that up as another " Right " that does , indeed , exist , even under the Law but .... in practice , cannot be exercised without taking action , sometimes legal.
Question that needs to be asked is what are the powers to be doing about it ?
Clear unlawful acts under the provisions of the said Act no matter which direction one looks and , so far , no comeback.
First test case , and the Judge supported the LA's argument. So much for the provisions ?
" Well .... we tried out best ? ".
Given the evidence , that's not the answer.
The correct answer is :
" We screwed up ! "
( 1 ) By not taking into account the warnings posted by carers over the years starting from 2004 about the LA cutbacks / tightening of eligibilty criteria , and ( 2) asking for specific funds to be allocated and ring fenced ".
Many carers could see what was coming , why couldn't others ?
Even if we used megaphones over the years , noone would admit to listening to our voices ? Simply ignored , even treated with contempt , by those elements watching us to ensure we know our place in the scheme of things.
Was it Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone ? Or more than just him ?
Place your bets ....now !
The one now without a Royal seems to be the early favourite ? Goes better over the hurdles rather than the flat , so I am told ?
A second clue ? Currently raking it in from the casinos and bingo halls .... ???
For their members , doubling up on 5 Red has proved profitable ? In the bingo hall , did one shout " Mansion " as opposed to " House / Hovel / Bedsit / No Fixed Abode ? "
Fresh off the presses that one , still warm as opposed to hot , for any inquisitive readers.
The Butler ? Even with the best will in the world , a non runner in this one ! Some might try that old trick by nominating their butler to take the fall ?
Could keep us going for almost the same length of time ?
Perhaps a new thread in the Fun and Games section ... Faces in the Frame / Wanted for Crimes Against Carers / Do You Know This Individual ? .... mods on hand in case one face needs blacking as one poster accidently breaks the Forum rules ?
Somewhat ironic given what the Act should have done for , around , 1 in 15 of our fellow carers.
Still , par for the course in Carer Land ?
I rest my case ... for now.
