I think it shows how they've got no moral fibre whatsoever. Sadly, I think we'll see that the back benchers have no backbone.
I often think I've got little in the way of courage but I'm wrong, I have. In the 90s I stood up to the new CEO in the boardroom in front of c 30 employees after we'd seen dozens of colleagues frogmarched out of the building by security (40 years service some of them) treated disgustingly, all of us being given a 'pep talk' by the new 'top man' daring to lecture us about how it's necessary bla bla too and about our continued loyalty etc. The word loyalty set me off and I when asked if we had any questions I said loud and clear (I'm like a mouse ordinarily) I do, don't you think our loyalty might depend on how we see our colleagues being treated? He and the other board members were fuming with the finance man uttering some nonsensical answer. Was so pleased to see his ex wife completely wipe the floor with him in the High Courts for c £30million. Anyway, I digress sorry.. sorry, I just cannot abide people with absolutely no moral fibre and who try to ride roughshod over others.
What we should ALL remember here is that dealing with the illnesses and disabilities that we have, day in, day out, takes courage, in buckets full. So we've still all got that no matter how vulnerable we are made to feel. We can use that to our advantage. I cannot go out to protest but as my lovely dad used to say, 'the pen is mightier than the sword'. I intend to use that ink well and profusely.

She picks on the vunerable for her failings.

There has to be numerous court cases surely? I wish I was savvy enough to take them to court, this is blatantly wrong on so many levels
If they stopped the migrant hotels they’d save millions

But labour want people to loose carers allowance also that's the whole point. Kill 2 benefits in one go. The cuts will have a domino effect and that's their nasty plan.

.. in 2016, immigrants from so-called "Eastern Europe" were to blame because they took "very well-paid and lucrative work"… in warehouses, factories, production lines, etc. so they held a referendum.
In 2025, the disabled are to blame
In 2035, the pensioners will be to blame.
Mark my words.
I am not British but I have lived here for over 20 years and this is my home and that of my children.
And my heart breaks as this country falls down a slippery slope.

I hope you don't go. My heart goes 10 to the dozen when i see arguments/too much stress and it's already a very highly stressful time for us all anyway. I just hope everybody just let's it go (not the Community). It'd be nice to be able to all move forward together x
Ps not trying to offend anyone saying that and I'm not arguing. We all need now, more than ever, to be kind to each other and ourselves.

Not all are desperate, if they were they would settle in Germany, France they are safe country. They come because the government give them everything, plus freebies, free driving lessons, they get 3 meals a day warm hotels. Councils are over stretch, they said its not safe in the areas.so pensioners, farmers disabled get picked on.before you mention farmers are ok, one of my family knows one who committed suicide because of her inheritance tax. Not all pensioners are well off, my sister and brother in law can't get pension credit because they are slightly over.
