AT last, through the threat of old people's homes being closed, people have realised how much money the Government is sending abroad and how much money is being spent on asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, not forgetting the millions wasted on bureaucrats in Brussels.

If all this money was spent in this country for the good of the people, we would not have a failing NHS, all our essential services would have all the funds they need.

We would not need to close old people's homes. We would probably have money to build new ones and give the pensioners a better deal.

It's time Tony Blair and his lot started putting the welfare of this country first.
