colhint Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't mind this coming up really. Not that I think she is anyway implicated. I just think they should all lose the title honourable, and any crap that flies their way, no matter what party is ok by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post peterms Posted February 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2014 The Tories want to shift power even further away from the people towards big corporations by championing ISDS, as Caroline Lucas of the Green party explains.http://www.carolinelucas.com/blog/2014/02/25/what-about-our-rights-as-citizens/ Another piece on that here. It's the most astonishing and breathtaking undermining of national sovereignty that I can recall. The very idea of corporations being able to sue governments because they don't like their policies is simply incredible. That governments should agree to this is treasonable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockingbird_franklin Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Atos didn't invent the system, but they ruthlessly exploit it for profit. Enthusiastic collaborators in imposing hardship and oppression. And of course, nor did the Conservatives, as it was Labour who awarded Atos their contract, and asked them to run the tests in the first place. No, but they did bastardise the test and continually alter it to make it more and more difficult to meet the criteria, they set the non existant targets that don't officially exist, except as a monetery saving, that could only be achieved by denying people the benefits they should be entitled to.

peterms Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 At the risk of giving some tiny sliver of credibility to the entirely false idea that the Harperson-PIE story has anything at all to do with news and is anything but a successful attempt to stop more important things being discussed, I would make one comment: this para about the Mail is worth sharing. Asked if the Daily Mail promoted indecency, Andrew Pierce, its consulting editor, said it was a "family newspaper" and had not published photographs of anything that could not be seen on a beach. Like they don't understand that seeing a child on a beach and publishing photos of a child in a bikini to be seen by millions are not quite the same thing. Pathetic, duplicitous, hypocritical scum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Funny how The Heil aren't criticising Leon Brittain for him doing shite all about PIE Come on. That would require investigation, asking difficult questions of the rich and powerful, threatening the security of those establishment figures who were involved in Elm House, naming the tory party figures who were at it...what we might call journalism, in other words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I was wondering why so many people are using food banks. Thankfully, Esther McVey is able to explain. It's because supermarkets are trying to cut food waste. Thanks, Esther! Glad you cleared that up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think in the current climate with our current bunch of compliant numpties that would have changed anything? All it gives is deny ability of part in this plainly wrong situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
