What about the Human Rights of the Elderly

I notice that the Human Rights Lawyers are conspicuous by their absence in cases such as this. Perhaps these people are not newsworthy or trendy enough. The Government and society as a whole should be ashamed at the way elderly people are treated. They are by and large treated as a nuisance and an inconvenience in today's society so it is little wonder that Social Services and Local Authorities feel they have carte blanche to do just as they will. There is no public outcry at the inhuman treatment of many elderly people who suffer dreadfully in their final years. The small amount of objections that are made are not countrywide and appear mainly in publications such as this. There is a danger of becoming too complacent and having an I'm alright attitude especially if you are the right side of 50 but If we keep ignoring these dreadful happenings what will be next? Compulsory euthanasia? Wake. up Britain with luck you will all be old one day.
