AnnotationAs politicians debate social care, the sixtysomethings of the baby boomer generation are getting ready to challenge the status quo. They have seen their future - and they do not like it. This article analyses the current mood of boomers who do not want to follow in the footsteps of their parents and end their days in "lonely care homes". An inset article by Neil Churchill argues that is is the poor, and not the middle classes, who should be subsidised in the social care system, as advocated in his book "Advancing opportunity: older people and social care" (2008) published by the Smith Institute. (KJ/RH).
