Here is an iodeal opportunity for Labour to present an argument for the introduction of a living wage, an increase in the building of social housing and the threat of rent caps to help bring the welfare budget back under control. In stead they have allowed that piss-wet through, closet tory [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9731000/9731460.stmLiam Byrne[/url to say basically nothing, other than the "welfare state needsa a major update".

Ed balls has been tweeting about the olympic fooking torch going round a field at Morley Academy, instead of working on an attack of Camoron's new proposals. The whole frigging shooting match should stop navel-gazing and start formulating policies to counter what this lot are doing or proposing to do.

We've also got the LimpDems inviting "Progress" to their conference. If any turn up, I would hope they'd be expelled from the party for fraternising with Quislings.

Thankfully we still have trades union leaders who are still willing to speak up for the downtrodden.

I disagree with the Archbish (is that ex-ArchBish yet?).
I think 'Big Society' was just coloured wrapping paper for "Feck off and don't expect any help from the State".

We had a union leader in 1984 who had to put his head on the block b'cos the elected parliamentarians who should have been leading the fight didn't have the fooking balls to do it theirselves. Him, and tens of thousands of us tried to counter the most authoritarian right-wing government this country had ever seen. We tried and failed, but we made the difference for what was to come. Some of these s that the blood sweat and tears of what our party was built upon need to understand that and get their fingers out!

Aye, those ungrateful oiks up North won't vote for him, right then, we'll stuff 'em good and proper.

You know, when I read stuff like this, I want devolution for the North, I don't really want to be part of the shallow, Boris-loving tendency of the South East.

If we're devolving, can we let the Lankies have Todmorden back now it's had a wash?

Have it back?
Half of it was never in Lancashire, even the Town Hall literally straddled the border.

With the amount of mud left behind after the floods, I wouldn't call it a wash, it looked like large lumps of Lancashire washed into Yorkshire.
If they want that back, they are welcome to come and get it.

[url=http://liberalconspiracy.org/2012/06/29/the-video-on-benefits-the-government-want-censored/The MoJ video that the DWP don't want anyone to see[/url

The Ministry of Justice produced a video for publication on youtube, informing benefits claimants how best to approach an appeal tribunal. Atr the insistance of Chris Graying, the video was pulled and when it later re-appeared, was pulled again.

So, it now appears that the DWP are not only content with removing benefits from the most vulnerable, they want to make sure that those whose benefits were removed unfairly, can't get a chance of winning an appeal.

Saw this at the beginning of the week, it spread pretty quick around FB. It went from having around 10 views on that famous sharing site we can't name to having over 1000 in one day




Edited: Didn't know it had disappeared again tho'. I have book marked your link for my future reference

A list of suicides where benefit changes had some culpability.

Sleep well Mr Duncan Smith?

I've been a bit busy of late, so I might have missed it, but has Sal Paradise been back yet to explain what happened when he reported his drug-peddling, benefit-scrounging relative to the relevant authorities?

One more to add to that list. A lady called Wendy Hills killed herself this week because she lost her ESA and was so frightened of losing her DLA that she could no longer carry on.

RIP Wendy - we will carry on fighting.

That is a rhetorical question right?

I think of it as an example of a nudge policy.

I didn't report him - the police arrested him!! seems he didn't heed the warning of his suspended sentance a year ago and continued to grow his herbal remedy for his bad back well beyond his own personal consumptional needs, back in court July.

In the mean time he has had to pay back £10k of his reported £130k gain - previous confiscation was 40k of herbal plants and 10k in cash. All public record see Bradford Telegraph & Argus.

Not bad for someone claiming disability benefit!!

I don't understand, are we saying that claiming disability benefit turns you into a drug dealer?

I always thought there was something shifty about Mrs Hull White Star.

Where do you think I get the foil for me crack?

Whats him being on "disability benefit" (there is no such thing by the way) got to do with him being a drug dealer? Why the big deal that he is on "disability", dealing?

Would you say "not bad for someone claiming working tax credit"????

Looks like even Boris was right:

Very interesting and so true: www.labourleft.co.uk/what-have-t ... ulnerable/

So in your "real world", because your family produces a bad egg, anyone on benefit is obviously a scrounging crook, eh?

Incidentally, according to this post, your relative did have a disability. You have no disputed that he had "a bad back". Now, assuming that, like absolutely anyone else on disability benefit, he'd had to have a medical, are you now saying that you know more than a medical doctor, and he didn't really have "a bad back" at all?

To be honest, it's hilarious when people like you go on about 'the politics of envy'. You're the envious ones. You have delusions of being ripped off by millions of undeserving people – if only they could all be made to go and do the jobs that don't exist, you'd be so much better off yourself.

It's illogical, based on a mythology that you are oh-so-willing to lap up, bitter and just downright nasty.

He has such a disability that he is able to plant, harvest, sell the drugs!!

I am not envious - my income funds my lifestyle very adequately. What is wrong is at a time when we have limited funds and worthy causes are having their funding cut you are still prepared to defend scrotes like this!!

Something is seriously wrong when a man can make >100k in illegal earnings and not pay tax on that money and still get funding from the state - I am not surprised you can't see that. I have always thought you resented those with real money - its those real red roots of yours from your time at the lefty chip paper producer.

According to you all those on disability should be claiming - again I always thought your political rhetoric stopped you seeing the wood for the trees.
