Careful you don't give Butt ideas, Philip.

Dear Mike,
DeleteIf Cllr. Butt cares to attend my talk, he might get some good ideas on social care.
Until the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 was imposed by Parliament, Kingsbury's social care of the poor was relatively good, and very democratic, for those times.
Philip.
