We currently have the first generation who have had mass home ownership coming to the stage of their life when they need care.
They feel they have the right to pass the financial gains of that home ownership to their children, rather than using those funds to pay for their own care.
Understandably, everyone sees the model the upper classes have used for generations to maintain their wealth, and wants to know why they shouldn’t be able to do the same.
No easy solutions at all, beyond everyone having to pay far more tax. Unfortunately, no political party will suggest that, the Tories pretending it’s just a case of cutting waste / foreigners, and labour pretending that taxing the super-rich /tackling corporate tax evasion will provide all the cash.
