No pressure. There was free booze so it was a lively, chatty crowd. You really had to give it the full oration bit!<br /><br />But I flatter myself to say they stopped and listened to my speech, and it got a huge cheer. Owen liked it so much he knocked me over with a Tigger hug. The grassroots Labour people (remember they ARE the party) have given me absolute unswerving, generous support. If it wasn't for Left Foot Forward, Labour List, Liberal Conspiracy, Michael Meacher and so many others, none of you would know who I was. It inspires me greatly that MY party support me so strongly and try to create chances for me to be heard. It gives me great hope.

I left and then looked at my wage, versus the cost of bills, mortgage repayments, cost of living, petrol costs to get to and from work... there is no way I can afford to love alone. <br /><br />It's a joke!!!

If Labour came out and stood behind the disabled & the poorest in our society & said it would overturn the reforms, if they did this instead of pandering to the middle classes, they would win the next election by a landslide.

"CHELSEA'S DISABILITY MANAGER TO BE HONOURED FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO FOOTBALL".<br /><br />Posted on: Sun 06 Oct 2013<br />Chelsea disability manager Rob Seale is to be honoured at a special Buckingham Palace ceremony hosted by HRH The Duke of Cambridge to recognise his services to football.<br /><br />Seale will be among 150 grassroots heroes to be celebrated on Monday (7 October) at an event that forms part of The Football Association's 150th anniversary celebrations. The heroes have all been chosen for their outstanding contribution and service to football and it was Seale's hard work and dedication in developing opportunities for disabled people to enjoy sport that led to his successful selection.<br /><br />He will receive a medal from The FA president, HRH The Duke of Cambridge as one of those 150 people from across the national and professional game who regularly go above and beyond the call of duty.<br /><br />Through Seale's dedication, players of any age and ability are welcomed into Chelsea Community FC and given the opportunity to represent the club in competitive disability leagues and cups both at home and abroad. He has put his heart and soul into providing disabled players with new and exciting opportunities to play football. Every player is a valued individual and every player is encouraged to be the best they can be.<br /><br />A focal point of the day will see the Buckingham Palace garden host its first ever football match, featuring two of the oldest amateur clubs in England. The game, which will be an official Southern Amateur League fixture, will be played between Civil Service FC, the sole surviving club from the 11 that met to create The FA in 1863, and Polytechnic FC.<br /><br />Seale was delighted to be selected. 'It's a huge honour to be recognised in this way,' he said. 'I'm passionate about providing opportunities to get disabled people enjoying sport. I've always believed that sport can play a really important part in enriching people's lives and bringing them together.'<br /><br />HRH The Duke of Cambridge, president of The Football Association, said: 'In our 150th year, it is hugely important for The FA to honour the efforts of the many thousands of volunteers who week in, week out, help to provide the opportunity for millions more people to enjoy football at grassroots level. Inviting 150 of these volunteers to Buckingham Palace provides a fitting way for The FA to pay tribute and give thanks.'<br /><br />Greg Dyke, chairman of The Football Association, said: 'These volunteers are the heartbeat of football. Without them, the game simply wouldn't function at a grassroots level and it is only right that The FA honours their tireless and selfless work. We are delighted that, in his role as President of The FA, HRH The Duke of Cambridge has given his support to this initiative - even going as far as arranging for the first-ever game of football to be played at Buckingham Palace in honour of our grassroots heroes.'<br /><br />Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14069196685174248331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-1230942109486495322013-10-06T19:53:53.369+01:002013-10-06T19:53:53.369+01:00All true and it shiuldn't be forgotten, auster...All true and it shiuldn't be forgotten, austerity is an invention, a fiction the Coalition are proagating in order to strip the country of its assets, assets we've paid for.

If Labour had protested sooner, when all the facts about the ATOS/DWP deaths, and all the other disasters, started coming in, as soon as they had the Spartacus report, as soon as blogs by those affected with knowledge of the issues affecting sick and disabled started talking about the changes, they could have saved lives. They didn't.<br />I hope and pray that whoever replaces Byrne finally gets it. Complicity in evil is as bad as the evil itself. Sorry but whenever someone says Labour are 'getting it' I wonder how many people will die this week as a result of welfare 'reforms'. This is not to say that the Tories aren't much, much worse, and I know you Sue, and so many other individuals and groups are doing more than is humanly possible...but Labour, trying to win the middle class vote while poor people die...I have no respect for them at all any more. You shouldn't be having to make the case for sick and disabled people.
