I've said it many times before, but it's not a love affair!! <br /><br />You make them change. You make it too hard for them not to. You bend them over the same barrel they reserve for you, but you do it better. <br /><br />Do any of you honestly think Labour want the same treatment we've given this government over disability? Do you think for one moment they thought we'd organise as we have, be able to turn the media as we have, control social media with an iron grip as we have? <br /><br />You make it too unappealing for them to back out, too difficult for them to backtrack, too dangerous electorally for them to renege. <br /><br />We've done that and all should enjoy as little of the credit. We have 6 legal challenges for goodness sake, do you think Labour want to be dragged through the courts and the leftwing press too? They never thought we'd fight back like this in a million years, but we have and we just get stronger by the day. Every paper now has a dedicated wlfare journalist. <br /><br />You don't trust them, you play the game better than them and you WIN.

Feel free to use it as a scaffold.<br /><br />Dear MY MP,<br />I write to you to inform you of a debate of the upmost importance that will be taking place on Wednesday 10th July. There will be a debate presented by labour on the creation of a cumulative impact assessment regarding the changes being made by government which are hugely affecting the lives of people who are ill or have disabilities. No such assessment has yet been made despite the majority of the changes being made together in the latest welfare reform act. While I am sure you know the value of cumulative impact assessments I would urge you to read the specifics of why this particular assessment is necessary are which is explained here: http://diaryofabenefitscrounger.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/what-is-overall-impact-of-cuts-to.html<br />This government cannot say it knows the impact of their changes until a cumulative impact assessment has been created. There will be a vote on the motion “That this House believes that the Government should publish a cumulative impact assessment of the changes made by this Government that affect disabled people (to be published by October 2013)” at around 4pm. I ask that you would attend the debate and vote on the motion as your conscience sees fit as this is extremely relevant to many of your constituents.<br />Scincerely,<br />MEBecca_Boothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518064102435148090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-9029476569056099372013-07-06T09:55:58.932+01:002013-07-06T09:55:58.932+01:00Thank you megbitch, Spot on, Labour siding with th...Thank you megbitch, Spot on, Labour siding with the Toy's on workfare, Ed Balls at the Bilderberg meeting,<br />Ed Miliband, Ed Balls, Liam Byrne, and the majority of the Labour party are about as much Labour men as phony Tony Blair, what a shower of shit, They should be called the new Tory.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849664716024775880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-30147280309939953122013-07-05T21:08:14.097+01:002013-07-05T21:08:14.097+01:00Please keep this in proportion and don't be fo...Please keep this in proportion and don't be fooled by the often totally extreme claims in the national press.

Labour have already stated that they won't change this tyranny if elected, seem totally without a useful alternative during debates in the HOC, have taken far too long to get to this point and are doing this I think to attempt to regain some credibility with the disability lobby rather than really being supportive of us.Mo Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228037339486113567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-12018141901790376022013-07-05T20:49:10.103+01:002013-07-05T20:49:10.103+01:00Have written to my mp re this - he tends to suppor...Have written to my mp re this - he tends to support stuff re disability rights and is helping campaign to get the 20 metres extended to 50 metres re PIP so should come through on this one too.

They won't be happy until all disabled people are living in workhouse type places out of sight out of mind. All the good work that has helped so many live independently in the community is now going down the drain. And what really gets my gaul is the genuine claimants are now paying for all the dishonest people that have lied and stolen disability money then ran marathons, and I can't help but notice there seems to be lots of Lord Mayors on the list!

Make an unbreakable commitment, right now, to reverse the welfare changes bought in by the Coalition, to remove ATOS et al (brought in by your own government), reverse the H&SC Act and restore the NHS. But I really can't see that happening. Do you? <br /><br />I am afraid that all I see is piss and wind in an attempt to convince us that Labour will actually be different. <br /><br />If a court order is not enough to force Cameron to publish the NHS Risk Register, what on earth makes anyone think that this will be any different? Unless the bastard and his cronies can be held in contempt and locked up, nothing, NOTHING, will change for the better. Except we all get compacent for a few months and perhaps start getting our hopes up.<br /><br />I'd like to believe it. I used to be Labour through and through.

Must be causing them a bit of a headache keeping the two in tension.
