Tory Fascists and Hypocrisy.

The Welfare Card.

An idea by the right wing head bangers to stop the feckless poor from spending their benefits on Sky, fags, booze and scratch cards. It's interesting how the right, with their libertarian leanings and hatred of the nanny state suddenly decide, when it suits their reactionary ideologue, that the nanny state and larger public sector is suddenly a good thing. Especially when it enables them to lord it over certain sections of society they consider inferior to themselves.
If someone has paid into a national Insurance scheme for 5, 10, 20, or 30 years, then when the time or situation  arrives, and that person decides to cash in on that National Insurance policy, then it is their right to spend that money how they wish and not for a bunch of swivel eyed right wing loonies to tell them anything different.
To be blunt, the nasty little fascist hypocrites can **c% o*f. It demonstrates how out of touch they are that they cannot rationalise the impossibility of being able to afford Satellite television on £71 a week, but in truth they do not wish to. They, along with the right wing rags, want to continue to perpetuate the myths and lies  about welfare in order to continue the demonisation and stymatisation of a sector of society for the purpose of political expediency.

Alo Romania!

Boundary Changes.

The Tory's failed to gerrymander the next election with The Boundary Changes Bill. It demonstrates the lack of confidence they have in their policies and their record in government that they are desperate to fix and rig the next General Election.

Israel, Gerald Scarfe and Cries Of  Antisemitism.

Gerald Scarfe had a cartoon published in the Times, depicting the Israeli Premier, Netanyahu, building the Israeli Defence wall, using the blood of Palestinians as mortar. As is the norm now, any form of criticism directed at the Israeli state is met with howls of antisemitism and fabricated percieved slights. Israel must realise that the violence committed against the Palestinians by the Israeli Defence Force in particular, as well as the aggression and violence committed by the ever growing number of settlers, is unacceptable and that they cannot use the horrors of the Holocaust as an excuse to commit crimes against other races.

Childcare

The Tory's have increased the ratio of children to child minder in a belief this will lead to lower costs for parents. Surely all that will happen will be people being laid off, as nurseries will be over staffed. Leading to an increase in welfare claimants, children receiving less one-on-one time and being neglected and bottom lines being fattened for nursery owners. The policy is incompetent. The minister who introduced it, is either incompetent, or just plain stupid.

The Sneering Hypocrisy of the Tory boys.

I understand the comments made about people on benefits. People, who appear to be able to subscribe to satellite channels, travel by taxi, gamble, smoke and have the most up to date buggies for their offspring. Having paid into a system for thirty years, and who is currently attempting to survive on £45 a week, I also, sometimes find it hard to stomach seeing people who, probably, have never worked a day in their lives or contributed in any way, living comfortable lives based on a sense of entitlement that is only matched by their ignorance and the foulmouthed abuse they seem to think is acceptable to scream in the presence of, or at, their offspring. Such is the chosen lifestyle of the Chav, I suppose. I also understand that, relatively, I am not living in poverty, compared to people who lived in the 60’s 50’s, 20’s or even in Victorian times.

However, what sticks in my gullet more than any of the above, is the sneering hypocrisy and double standards of the Tory boys, in particular those of Cameron, Osborne and Duncan Smith. God must be turning his head in shame at the unchristian crimes currently being perpetrated by the supposedly devout Catholic, Duncan Smith, on the poor and vulnerable in our society.

What is sickening about Cameron and Osborne, is the fact that both are millionaires, but yet neither have had a proper job or earned a shilling through their own endeavours. They were just lucky to be born into a lifestyle of inherited wealth and privilege. So to hear them lecture, judge and demonised people not as fortunate as themselves, is truly disgusting. Especially as many of the people that they joyfully victimise, have, in contrast, earned every pound they have ever owned. They have paid for their homes, cars, food, electric and the clothes on their backs by the sweat of their brow and the bend of their backs, as well as paying their taxes, while Cameron, Osborne and their ilk continue to be handed everything on a plate through expenses, perks and inherited wealth. Oh for a life of having all your food bills, utilities, travel and second home mortgages paid for by the tax payer. Not to mention the dubious tax avoidance tactics attached to trust funds set up with unearned wealth.

So hardworking people who have contributed to society but now find themselves out of work or in need of working tax credits because of the economic incompetence of Cameron, Osborne and their class, must find it truly galling to be sneered at, lectured, judged, persecuted and demonised by a bunch of toffs and Tory boys who would probably struggle if one of the footmen went off sick and they had to lace up their own shoes.

The Tory’s are fired by a cruel ideologue. The currency they deal in is hate, hatred of the working classes. You only have to watch Osborne in the commons, hate oozing from every pore, as he heaps bile on, and sneers at the working classes he so despises, with a guffawing Cameron looking on, his doughy smug face glistening in the harsh commons light, like a four day old sausage roll that’s been reduced to clear. I find Osborne a particularly disgusting individual mainly because he is a particularly disgusting individual and Cameron is no more than Osborne’s enabler.

To Osborne, Cameron is nothing more than ‘a useful idiot’. The acceptable face of Tory brutality, used as a tool for Osborne’s long-term ambitions to lead the party and finally exorcise the demons he experienced via his Public School bullying, while Duncan Smith is, currently, gleefully fulfilling the role as propagandist-in-chief in the same way Joseph Goebbels did for the Nazis, as they also persecuted a defenceless minority for political and personal gain.

In my opinion, anybody who votes Tory at the next General Election is a traitor to the nation. They are no better than the Germans who lined the streets of towns and villages throughout Germany, jeering, sneering, punching and kicking the Jews, as they were marched, women and children included, towards the railway stations and loaded up onto cattle trucks, before swarming like locusts into the homes and businesses of those soon to be exterminated men, women and children, and stealing their belongings and livelihoods.

Hang your head in shame, as you attempt to hand the Tory boys a mandate to lay waste to this nation, while enriching themselves, their friends and their families.

Universal Benefits?

It’s a misnomer to call benefits universal. If someone has savings of over £16000, any benefits will be affected, apart from Child Benefit, Free Bus Passes and the Heating Allowance for pensioners. If someone is in receipt of a private pension, any benefits they are entitled to, will be reduced, depending on the income from that pension.

What is really unsavoury about the current argument, apart from the constant whine from high earners, complaining that they will have to cancel the violin classes for little Salmonella, if they lose Child benefit, is the inference that people who are in receipt of large salaries work much harder than people on low wages such as nurses, care workers, refuse collectors, teachers or street cleaners. Put some of these so called hard working high earners in a care home for a month on minimum wage and they would be begging to be released back to their offices and second homes in Provence or Cornwall.

It’s a shame, but this argument is clouding the true tragedy of the Tory’s ideologically driven reforms. It’s not the 1.1 million affected by the current Child benefit changes, but the struggling 8 million people on low incomes who are having their incomes reduced due to the changes in Working Tax Credits. Families, whose daily concerns are not polo lessons for little Herpes, but who are struggling daily, to feed and clothe their offspring.   

I have no problem with people on large salaries receiving benefits, because I believe strongly, in universal welfare and healthcare. What disgusts me are the double standards and self serving hypocrisy of the well off, who happily join in with the demonisation, stigmatising and persecution, perpetrated by Oberleutenants Osborne and Duncan Smith, and Reichfuerher Cameron, but when they suddenly find themselves in the Fourth Reich’s gun sights they start to whinge, gripe and complain like a five year old who’s been told he’s real father is Jeremy Clarkson.

Perhaps if they had showed more concern for, and spoken up for people less fortunate than themselves, who are currently suffering nonstop assaults by the loathsome toryboys, perhaps their arguments would be treated more sympathetically.

Finally, I’m fed up with hearing people with children; pompously claim, they have never claimed benefits. Child Benefit??? Child Working Tax Credits??? The clue’s in the name, morons.

And finally.

‘ What a wonderful day for shoving a cucumber through your neighbours letterbox and shouting “the aliens are coming, the aliens are coming”.  Ken Dodd- a comic genius.
