They view the country, economy and the voters as their playthings to do with as they see fit. With blinkered vision they pursue an agenda at all costs, completely ignorant and uncaring of the effects any legislation will have. If they screw things up it doesn't matter because it won't affect them and in the end they pick up a few well paid directorships to top up their pension and probably some kind of honour as well for services rendered (bet the "no reward for failure" won't apply to them.) All they know is that they are right and they will use any means possible to realise their "dream".<br /><br />Forcing MPs ,who are supposed to represent their constituents, to vote in a particular way is undemocratic at least.

Can it be challenged through any EU mechanism?Our euro mps could maybe help with that...<br />Meanwhile lets get this Wall going and we need to contact people like shelter too to provide evidence of how this bloody bill is affecting people .Again we might need to pay someone to do this...more funds in the fighting fund.<br />Whatever Wall we put up needs to be seen so it should be extremley linked and pushed out in the frontal vision of everyone and anyone...media friendly people(if any )etc ect.<br />The fight continues and it has to get as intense as they have been.Nothing to lose and everything to gain ...And it need t be on all fronts with as many other affected people on board.This has to become more than what we are right now and sue and Kaliya cannot do this on thier own so you now know that its heads above the parapet time for all as keeping a low profile will not stop the machine that is the wrb passing its evil searchlight over us all so stare right back and say F*** You we are not having it...sarcboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-25624836262496664692012-02-03T11:15:47.973+00:002012-02-03T11:15:47.973+00:00like the idea wall of shamelike the idea wall of shamezimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745502549966289981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-68136219665429005512012-02-03T10:43:15.954+00:002012-02-03T10:43:15.954+00:00I've just posted this to the 1st Feb comments ...I've just posted this to the 1st Feb comments instead of 2nd February so I am reposting. Sorry but have a splitting headache!<br /><br />I get more angry as time goes on, today I sit here seething with anger and frustration. Surely we must have some grounds for challenging them, the government’s welfare reforms will certainly contravene article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<br /><br />Article 25.<br />· (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. <br />· (2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.<br /><br />Even the benefits we have now are inadequate to meet the criteria above.<br /><br />The future looks bleak, we have to carry on with the campaign , we cannot give in. Often it takes a long time to achieve social justice, it is likely to be a long fight. They have attacked the most vulnerable group in society. <br /><br />Shame on government and all who support them.<br /><br />I don’t give a dam about the national debt or how they pay it back if they ever do. We did not cause it. Savings from destroying our lives are but a drop in the ocean of a debt of 1 trillion!<br /><br />Who does the government owe this money to? big corporations? other nations?. Why is not this information available? I mean precisely word for word, figure for figure, exactly who the hell do we owe this money to. I bet many of these evil MPs have shares in the very corporations that we own money to. <br /><br />Does anyone have an answers to these questions ; is it just me that is ignorant about such matters <br /><br />We have to continue to fight this corrupt and evil government, a government devoid of empathy, humanity, compassion or indeed any ethical consideration to those in society who are disabled, sick and vulnerable. <br /><br />Sue is right. We need to expose every infringement, every deprivation, every death, every injustice, every facet of suffering that will result from these heinous welfare reforms, and “hold them to account for every single person hurt by their policies. ...” <br /><br />For this purpose perhaps we could set up a Con/Dem Wall of shame blog similar to the Spartacus Stories where we could post accounts for every single person hurt by their policies, accounts of our personal experiences and those of others we come across on the net and elsewhere. Just a suggestion not sure about the practicalities or if anyone else has suggested this <br /><br />My son has been summoned to an ATOS assessment. His GP considers he should be in the support group, at the very least in the work related group. We will have to see what happens. A worrying time for me for him and for us all. Is it is not enough to struggle with sickness and disability day in day out without having to confront this nightmare of uncertainty. I fear for the future of my son, myself and for all of us who struggle with disability and chronic sickness which of courses amount to the same thing. If you are chronically ill and are not able to do what well people do, you are disabled are you not<br /><br />They Can glibly present their tired rhetoric about benefits going to those who need them but we all know at the end of the day everyone will loose money and will have to struggle on much less in a time of escalating prices, of food, housing and energy. It’s going to get colder this week, already it is reported that 200 people per day may die from cold. That number will increase as these evil reforms kick in.<br /><br /><br />Another good and inspiring piece of writing Sue.<br /><br />To answer your question:<br /><br />“Are we going to let this happen? Are we going to give up on democracy altogether? Are we so cynical, so fatigued by corruption that we're just going to sit back with a sigh and give up? “<br /><br /> NO MOST CERTAINLY NOT!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-14615784705428675152012-02-03T02:29:37.336+00:002012-02-03T02:29:37.336+00:00I've half a mind that the reason that the Tabl...I've half a mind that the reason that the Tabloid press has been going so heavily in support of the government on this, is that they see it as a way to sidestep round Leveson. at some point whatever his lordship decides will have to go to parliament to decide, and by this callous betrayal of their readership to fit with Lunatic right wing marketist policy, then the papers have laid themselves down a big IOU which they may want to call in at the time.ceebsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-8252971501857067942012-02-03T02:12:15.215+00:002012-02-03T02:12:15.215+00:00I've been noticing their TV adverts recently. ...I've been noticing their TV adverts recently. parasites the lot of themceebsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-33513124494821095892012-02-03T01:13:56.765+00:002012-02-03T01:13:56.765+00:00Why not put that energy into doing your CV.
