Subsidise Care Fees for the elderly by using money from Overseas Aid.

Closed 59 signatures

What the petition asks

Why should the elderly have to sell their homes to fund their care when billions are spent, much of it wasted, on foreign aid. Surely we should look after our own first, before borrowing money to spend on foreigners.
