It relates to the Old Couple who died in their Bungalow earlier this week , because nobody visited them to help them when they were ill and needed assistance in a cold house ..and they were dead for 5 days before a concerned neighbour looked through their letterbox and saw the old man dead ,and phoned Police ..

From the newspaper report (referring to (Age Concern , Social Services, Health Visitors ,etc )
= "A good neighbour stated " that the couple had been totally let down by those who should have shown concern and visited them in their time of need especially during this extensive cold spell "...

Tonight I shall make a point of smashing the neighbour's back doors in, and I urge you all to do likewise.

The old man was a stubborn old fool - you can't help people that don't want to be helped

Yes you should always keep an eye out for elderly neighbours.

I do. :-)

In fact right now I can tell you that the old woman next door is going to make a shedload of rice pudding; as there were about fifty milk bottles on her door step when I passed this morning.
