Food Bank splits opinion

I don't think that mad dog would like to be called middle class which rather makes your rant rather pointless...................

If my point had anything to do with Mad Dog I would be worried...................

Is that leadership? Is that representing the people? Is that socialism?

Not in my eyes.

The implication being:

Labour= socialist= scroungers

Anyone daring to oppose the relentless attack on those bearing 90% of the pain  current economic chaos  is labelled as a crytpo-communist.

I  believe I have been harder on the fa*tty Belchers than most here and I also see them as no better than the posturing Wells. They  have no concern for anything but their own power and influence.
I watch as the 'politically driven' people of the left and the right fight it out and flatten bystanders in their crusade to impose their ideals  and crush the 'opposition'.

Gove awards  permission and funding as a  pure reflex action!
There are none so dangerous and none more stupid than those driven by  political dogma. 'Conviction politics' is a euphemism for dictatorship.
A pox on them all.

Do tell us MK1, what would be your solution to the large unemployment problem then? You seem very good at criticising but you aren't as forthcoming with suggestions.

The  method you prefer would be to tell those who lose their jobs that  it is a 'price worth paying' for a greater political ideal and they should  spend all their waking time  applying for jobs they know they will never get because (as we know)only those who 'strive' deserve any aid.

I  have nothing but contempt for the pathetic 'job creation' schemes which 90% of the time provide no proper training and exist only to provide a pool of cheap compliant donkeys for large firms to exploit as well as to inject 'fear' into  full time staff and keep wages low.

If there are not enough jobs to go around (and clearly nearly everyone recognises this) then there is a problem.
How do you react?
Do you spend all your energy trying to shave a few million off the bill (Warning: check the amount paid in unemployment benefit before foaming at the mouth) in order to satisfy cave men who would prefer the unemployed sweep the streets for a pound a day?

As for a solution I have none. However neither do the people you hold in high regard so it seems I am in good company.

However not having a solution (Plan A) is not the signal to start Plan B.
Plan B is the remorseless attack on anyone claiming benefit in order simply to reduce the benefit bill and thus save money for those who are not unemployed.

Whilst there are no doubt liars cheats and thieves claiming benefits they are in no greater proportion than the  amount of those same people at large in the working community. I  dare say in terms of money lost  the  cheats in the working population manage to make off with 1000 times the money obtained by the 'scroungers.

Again, just as an aside. If anyone has read the Cranney's Mountain story they may have noticed that, although those heading up this scam made sure that they did quite well out of it, part of the justification for the loans and grants was that it would provide 'work experience' and 'training opportunities' for the unemployed thereby increasing their chances of obtaining full-time work.

The same sort of spiel surfaced when kids were put on work placement schemes in Morrisons and the like under threat of losing their Job Seekers Allowance and which resulted in howls of protest from labour politicians across the land screaming of exploitation etc.

Funny how, when a local labour councillor sets up his latest scam, he is more than willing to use precisely the same cheap labour source making such people no different from those they condemn.

In truth, the local Labour carpetbaggers have become the very same people that the founders of the Labour Party hated most.

It seems I gave the wrong link in an earlier post.
It is used here as an example of how an intelligent man (Gove) driven by  political dogma does a stupid thing.
He could be Labour and the message would be the same.

Correct link

Last night(and purely by chance) I was looking something up about the Chuckle Brothers and found a link to a phantom 'Free school'

I was watching the Chuckle brothers playing tennis the other day.... That got very annoying very quickly. 

Can't be that bad as they now have the longest running TV program on telly.
Kids absolutely love them.

[mk1]

It was a joke.... they were playing tennis.... ("To you, to me.... to you, to me....")

There you have me.
I know of them but not about them...........
