Unfortunately some of these people are ill. I have friends who run a cleaning company and they specialise in jobs for the social services doing deep cleaning jobs for them. Not nice and a little sad, but unfortunately these people aren't capable of looking after themselves.
Although she never mentioned cleaning help my wife often commented on some pretty disgusting houses during home visits. Places where she chose to stand.
Equally she would comment on some visits where there was real poverty but a scrupulously clean house. Those were often Asian families.
Without starting a big debate I've been really shocked this week to learn of the conditions under which we are "educating" disruptive pupils. The booths these kids have to sit in and the long report on BBC News last night appalled me. Surely we can do better.
I had no idea this was happening.
