Julia Neuberger’s manifesto

• Julia Neuberger puts forward 10 demands old people should make on society:
  
  1. Do not make assumptions about my age: end age discrimination
  
  2. Do not waste my skills and experience: the right to work
  
  3. Do not take my pride away: end begging for entitlements
  
  4. Do not trap me at home because there are no public loos or seats: reclaim the streets
  
  5. Do not make me braindead, let me grow: open access to learning
  
  6. Do not force me into a care home: real choice in housing
  
  7. Do not treat those who look after me like rubbish: train and reward care assistants properly
  
  8. Do not treat me like I am not worth repairing: increase the number of community beds in hospitals
  
  9. Do not treat my death as meaningless: the right to die well
  
  10. Do not assume I’m not enjoying life: grey rage
