Tory Cabinet Thread

Although things like fresh air, and exercise, can be beneficial to those with mental heath conditions this still feels like a message for the often very unwell to “pull themselves together”

 

It’s the way they tell ‘em.

 

And what the knowledge that these kind of policies are rarely about the health and wellbeing of those impacted.

The BBC reported the ins and outs of this PIP guff, and then said that due to timescales it had no chance of becoming law before the next election. Why the fuck are you reporting on it then if it is just a ad campaign for the Tories.

Oakshit was crying the blues about not being able to get her mate any help because she's got ME, or middle class lazyitis as I call it, the horrendous twat.

 

Managed to read that post then.

It’s good to hear that the leader of the opposition has come out fighting against plans to cut benefits for people with mental health issues and has confirmed that, if elected, his government will reverse or won’t pursue such a horrible policy.

 

Er, hang on….

 

I've got a kid with mental health issues, and there is no help. There is literally no useful help in this country for children, unless you're willing to pay and go private.

Google “Teeside Freeport Ecocide” and this is the first hit.

There is growing evidence of a series of marine die-offs connected to dredging around the UK, connected to the Tory freeport agenda, that the UK Government attempted to cover up.

Almost 18 months ago there was a mass marine die-off neat Teesside in Yorkshire, that appears to have occur due to dredging for a new freeport. There were also mass die-offs all down the Yorkshire coast, hitting Bridlington, Whitby, and Saltburn.

It’s not the only area that’s recorded either mass die-offs or much reduced sea life. Falmouth is a case in point where so-called spoil grounds, legal dumping grounds for TCB laden spoil, have also been implicated in local marine die-offs.

Tax

Freeports are areas – often but not only sea ports – where normal customs, tax and labour regulations don’t apply.

They are typically run by private companies, often formed by local business and government coalitions, that use them as tax havens, stealing money from local councils and the government and sending profits off-shore, reducing investment and tax receipts in the UK. Backing for freeports tends to be highest amongst campaigners for Brexit.

About 16.6%. That would see all the seats in his area go back to Labour, and he far outperforms the current polling for the Tory vote-

You really think she's a Nazi then? Or is her not being a fan of Corbyn enough?

 

It's nuts really, posters slagging off people who slag off Tories, in the Tory Cabinet thread.

Lib Dem’s have table a vote of no confidence in the government.

 

Might do a very good job in ruffling enough feathers. 

 

There'd only need to be about 20-30 disaffected Tories vote the other way to swing that. Provided of course, the opposition parties pull in the same direction.

Nah, it’s more performative than that.

 

If they vote to support him that goes on the GE leaflet that’ll be going through doors.

 

Its pure politics and lovely stuff.

 

Complete no win for them.
