Meenzer 14133 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Looks like Labour have fucked the stock market again. They simply can't be trusted. And this after they sold off national assets grossly under value the other week. I really wish someone else would come along and take charge of matters.

The amount of folks scrambling to get a MH diagnosis for ESA is scary Tell them to forget it, the mentallers are going to work cos it's therapeutic: Mr Duncan Smith is adamant that people who are genuinely too ill to work will still be protected by the welfare state, and he will stress that for many people particularly those with mental issues being in work acts as an effective therapy.

Kid Dynamite 6065 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 There are an awful lot of lazy cunts claiming ESA/DLA who should be working. But the few genuine cases wouldn't last 2 minutes holding down a proper job. It doesn't seem as though there's any work going into distinguishing the 2 groups though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3991 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It's an example of policy being changed to fit public stupidity. When the Tories originally encouraged millions to move from the normal dole to any form of sickness/disability it was because the jobless total was the bottom line and any way to reduce that was a priority. Now thirty years on the figure isn't that important but the perceived fiddling is. A legacy of their own making and incidentally another narrative NL have allowed to be blamed on them with little or no argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 20051 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2015 EUROPE From JOHN CLEESE The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose." Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level. Regards, John Cleese , British writer, actor and tall person And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.
