Across the UK, online and on DAB, the Independent Republic of Mike Graham on talk radio.

A mid-morning dance with the devil from the farmer of fury.

It's my life, Boris Carlos.

Dangerous mid-morning debate with the great dictator.

The Independent Republic of Mike Graham on Talk Radio.

Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk

Radio. The weather is still glorious out there. Well, it is in London anyway. Donald

Trump is still annoying everyone and we're no closer to knowing precisely what kind of Brexit

we are going to get. As predicted from Katie Perrier yesterday, of course, some Labour MPs are revolting against Jeremy Corbyn,

calling for another referendum.

But there are some real problems out there in the real world away from politics.

First today, we're going to be looking at the crisis with our elderly population.

And who is looking after them?

One in five of our most vulnerable people in assisted living homes,

which are those places where they basically

get help in their own home to get dressed, to get food, to have dinner and all that kind of thing,

to have baths. It's a shockingly sort of distinguished way to go, unfortunately, but they have to

go without meals. Once a day, sometimes they're frightened of moving around without help. The big

question I want the answer to is why we're not better at looking after our own elderly relatives.

And shouldn't we have the right to expect families to look after their own,

rather than expecting the society in which we live, to pick up the tab.
