The tables seem to have been turned, Germany now having the moral ground and, in future, reaping the economic rewards. Equally new grateful people to help look after Germany,s elderly in the future. Britains baby boomer generation will get older. Will we have enough people to look after them? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
