I am not old yet but hope to be one day ( someone needs to fight the selfish, short sighted old 23/12/13). http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/22/someone-needs-fight-selfish-old I hope I will not be part of the 5 percent of elderly people who end up in nursing/ residential home care but if I do my works pension and the sale of my house will cover the costs not the state. I aw knowledge that half of hospital beds are occupied by people over 60. My support of the NHS is not because of creeping age but because I believe we all get ill and people should not be denied medicine and treatment simply because they can not afford it. The full effects of global warming may well be visited on my grand children not me but this is precisely why I support efforts to reduce the impact of climate change. As a parent I care more about the welfare of my children and grand children than my own. In this I am not alone.wwwblairmcpherson.co.uk
