Are members aware of this recent development? The article is behind the FT paywall ( I subscribe) and I can only post one image at a time here so I’ll put key screenshots in comments below. The unions are challenging it of course but given the hostility of a large proportion of voters to disabled people plus the government’s genuine need to either reduce spending or increase taxes the outlook isn’t good for those on benefits.
It's completely unsurprising as our current government are just monstrous and shouldn't be trusted to have a pet, let alone a country. Unfortunately it's not like we can count on Keir et al to roll back anything with where they stand on austerity and benefit cuts.
I think, as somebody more involved with politics than I really want to be, that changes will have to be incremental, even if the Tories do lose the next GE.
They've done a lot of damage.
That's all I'll say.
I don’t really bother with it, I can see it, but there’s nothing to be done.. if it gets to implementation then there’s nothing I can do, if it is shelved as the election draws near then fine but there’s nothing to be done by me..
Heathens. You should take a look at ‘Jeremiah’s Lamentations’, spoilers ‘the corrupted-wise end up being destroyed’, as their sins are beyond the scope of punishment, because they don’t even accept punishment.. this is part of a the social cycle unfortunately..
Sorry for the biblical analogies, they do state the situation rather-accurately though, the summary is that you shouldn’t do ‘it’ because the heathens are doing it, but even after they’re destroyed you still have to suffer under Nebuchadnezzar to recover the right focus..
We thought we could change the World; our Schools and Unis lied to us.
That’s the point, the ground has been cursed for our sake, we partook of the apple of knowledge, the thorn and the briars have been have put before us, so that we may be wise before we rise..
Thats all a bit biblical but you get the point, people have a habit of falling when they leave the ground, so it’s best to just let them have at it, you don’t one of them land on you..
There’s more to life than grappling with heathens..
The Americans who armed the Ra to the teeth expect their own Citizens to give up their Guns.
But then, the USSA was never transparent; aside from Trump.
Aren't you closer to the devil if you're nearing the ground? God's above us
Hmm..
Tangential to what you've said, but - the thing about having a large proportion of the population who can effectively use a weapon and are trained in combat is it can keep government in check.
Witness post-war Britain...
Appreciate the Ironic Rejoinder.
The Empire = the USSA!
He who is closer to the ground is closer to god..
