BBC News at Six visited the Age UK resource in Appian Court, Parnell Road last week to get a reaction from older people in Bow to Health Minister Jeremy Hunt’s speech talking about the extent of loneliness amongst old people, and his belief that it is the job of families to look after their elderly.
Here’s the News Item with Mark Easton the reporter talking to older people in the Centre.
Mark Easton is the social affairs correspondent for the BBC. He was singled out in Grant Shapps’ (Tory Party Chairman) recent attack on the BBC as an example of the Broadcaster’s anti-Tory bias.
