The closure of so many nursing homes for the elderly is caused by the influence of Brussels.
Under EU regulations, every patient must have a separate room and bathroom.
When we went into the EEC, the British people only went in to trade. Now successive governments have allowed it to tell us how to run our own country.
I was born in the 1930s and lived until I was 22 years old in a house with an outside toilet and a tin bath hanging on the back garden wall. It didn't do me any harm.
The new rules on old people's homes make the running of such businesses unaffordable. Result - closure.
