I have never agreed with this policy. One of the pleasures in life is knowing we can pass on an inheritance to our children to makes their lives easier. It's a big part of owning your own home. I bet the politicians won't deny themselves and their own children this right.

People work hard to save a deposit, pay their mortgage and their taxes, whilst some others don't and perhaps spend it on other things instead, only to have to pay for their care whilst those that don't get it free. It should come out of their taxes.

For those that don't bother saving though - they should beware they will undoubtedly end up in a right dump. The cheap local authority homes are not good. I have seen some of them - awful places.
