I think its quite funny by Liam Byrne and even funnier(well,sad really) that the Tories are using it as a serious ploy.

Just goes to show how absolute the power the Tories and their Allies have in the media.

Still cannot understand how the opposition parties havent wholly embraced Social Media to capture supporters.

Why do you give such a shit about other people sharing the crumbs?

 

Because easy answers are easy innit. What people see is what will rile them up. You see the bum on the corner too lazy to work but you hardly ever see any white-collar crimes, systemic corruption and structural disenfranchisement before your own eyes. Anecdotal evidence forms opinions, social myopia makes the poor blame other poor people for whatever reason they find. Divide and conquer.

I believe a large part of why the Tories got in is because a lot of people are fed up with this shit. I can only go off what most of the Tory voters I have spoken to have told me. But the first thing that comes up is Labour is seen as a party who wants to prolong this babysitting. The lazy cunts are one of the reason those cunts have got into power again. I also like to see people fulfil their potential - hundreds of times I helped that lad out - he was intelligent and clever. Always going on about the job he had years ago and plans he had for the future but he was just afraid to change.

Yeah if labour had regulated the banks in their fifteen years in power then maybe theyd still be there?

Maybe your research is lazy? Not voters.

Just a thought.

Apparently those notes are supposed to be tongue in cheek and aren't meant for public consumption. They really are scum.

Academic once youve relaxed the banking sector rules, got rid of industry and made people buy in to a housing bubble instead and it goes tits up.

 

Not that tories are any different but it wasnt them and the public dont forget, they could have clamped down on murdoch, on privatisation on the banking regulation but they did the oppositte, if you think the public is stupid and to blame ya need remove your labour specs, its clear.

Apologies about the football bit, and nicked from private eye. but god bless our tory government eh

 

 

anfield stadium erupted in cheers last month for disabled coach and lifelong Liverpool supporter John Smith when he was presented at half-time with a Downing Street volunteering award for “making a change” in his community and “inspiring others”.

 

John Smith, who has lifelong physical and other impairments, coaches others with severe disabilities to play wheelchair football

 

 

 

On the Point of Light certificate, David Cameron wrote: “For many people conquering disability to play wheelchair football would be enough of a challenge, but John has gone so much further…” Now an FA-accredited coach, 39-year-old Mr Smith, who has lifelong physical and other impairments, coaches others with severe disabilities to play wheelchair football.

 

By an unfortunate coincidence, Dave’s cabinet colleague Iain Duncan Smith, the minister for whacking the disabled, has also singled out Mr Smith for special treatment. The coach is now awaiting the results of a legal test case over the bedroom tax, which threatens his work as a volunteer.

 

Bungalow blow

Mr Smith fell foul of the rules because he lives alone in a specially adapted two-bedroom bungalow. He was ordered to pay an extra £12 a week – which he can ill afford - towards his housing costs because he was deemed to have a spare room. Last September, however, he won his appeal after a tribunal found the extra room was used to store his essential living aids, including his sports wheelchair and bath chair, as well as the sports and coaching equipment he uses for himself and for his voluntary coaching work. Alas, the work and pensions secretary does not agree and has decided to appeal. Mr Smith is now awaiting a ruling from the Supreme Court.

 

Room for manoeuvre

Ruth Knox, from the Merseyside benefits and money advice charity Raise, which has supported Mr Smith with his appeal, tells the Eye his second room was essential to hold his equipment, which would not fit in a small flat with suitable wheelchair access. “Without that extra room, John would not be able to do all that volunteering work and make the contribution to the community which David Cameron has recognised,” she says. “It does strike me as being a bit of a contradiction, but maybe Iain Duncan Smith will be able to explain it.” Or maybe not.

Why are Tory/Right wing groups so shockingly bad at social media videos/memes. Organisations like Momentum run rings around them. Just look at the fucking state of this video:

 

 

Or the farce that was the ‘launch’ of Turning Point UK the other day.

Some more characteristic cuntery from Sir* Christopher Chope. This time he blocked a bill to protect girls from FGM.

The cunt claims it because he disagrees with private members bills. Not the prick putting his own members bill up though. Two faced prick
