Prime Minister David Cameron has announced, that in future, each domestic policy will be 'examined for its impact on the family'. Considering the current parliament is in recess, and will be until October, and that there are only 9 months until the next general Election, this announcement is obviously a horrible example of politically motivated, PR electioneering bull crap, probably thought up by the 'Aussie mongrel' Crosby.
There are several questions that need asking. What exactly does it mean?
What is the 'family test' criteria? Hasn't the horse already bolted? Why now, when nearly all policy making for this parliament has been completed?
Here is a list of policies that would fail the 'family test'.
- The Spare Room Subsidy (The
bedroom tax).
- Changes to legal aid.
- Department of Work and Pensions sanction quotas, forcing families to have to fall back on food banks to feed themselves.
- Introduction of fees for Industrial Tribunals, leading to an increase in pregnant women being sacked and unable to claim unfair dismissal.
- Selling National Health
services to private equity companies.
- Removal of funding from
social services, that adversely affects funding to alleviate the effects of
domestic violence, and has lead to the closures of many refuges.
- The reduction in funding and
closure of SureStart centres.
- Reduction in local government funding, leading to the reduction of public services.
- Between 70%-80% of all austerity cuts have directly affected women and children.
This is
just another flagrant example of brazen Tory electioneering, that is virtually meaningless, as all the policy making for this parliament has been completed. In fact it is
a typical example of Tory arrogance and their obvious belief that the majority
of the British electorate are simpletons who will fall for this expedient
nonsense.
Failed Politician Gets Angry.
Due to protests, outside a grocery store in London, over Israels actions in Gaza, the Branch Manager of the store cleared the shelves of all kosher products, possibly
because he was fearful that the store would be invaded and the stock would be
trashed.
I have no complaint against the manager for taking actions that probably
prevented what could have been a difficult situation, but I do object to the
fact that he has given the ghastly, self promoting and failed politician Louise
Mensch the opportunity to fill twitterdom with her reactionary bile and
grotesque pomposity, as she leaps at another opportunity to fling around charges of antisemitism at the
slightest hint of any criticism aimed at Israel.
For that, I will never forgive him.
Black Bear, Black Man?
In the North Woods of Minnesota there is a large bear population
and a large, predominately white, hunting population. However, I use the term
'hunting' in its looses form, because these rednecks don't actually 'hunt' the
bears. They don't go into the woods and track the bears, using skills and bush
craft passed down from generation to generation. No they don't. What they do is
dump a load of bear food down, climb up into a nice safe hide and wait for a
bear to come by. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. It ain't hunting.
Also in the North Woods there are several research bears that are
used to study bear behaviour. This is groundbreaking research. These bears wear
radio collars and coloured ribbons so they can be easily identified. The huntersrednecks are asked
not to shoot the research bears. Do they shoot the research bears? Of course
they do, they're ignorant rednecks. And not only do they shoot the research
bears, but the rednecks then glorify their exploits on the internet.I suppose
it's the same as when white Americans used to create postcards of lynchings and
send them to family and friends with messages such as "look at this
photygraph Ma, of this dumb uppity lynched nigga, I done to'k at the hanging today, jus' b'fore church" love Cletus.
So you see, a black bear in Minnesota or a black man in Ferguson,
Missouri. They're both just a couple of dumb animals to white redneck America.
The huntersrednecks
spend a lot of time alone in their safe hides and it has been said that they
spend much of that time masturbating over pictures of their mom, I don't know
if that is true but my gut feeling is........
Death Penalty.
According to a Yougov poll, 20 million Britons support the reintroduction of the death penalty. That's 20 million people who probably like Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Littlejohn, have never read a book in their lives, and think that when it says on a puzzle box '2-5 yrs' that's how long it should take to complete it, so when they manage to finish it in 18 months they feel very smug.
All In It Together No: 234865746574327.
Chief Executive Officers paid 143 times more than their staff.
'frit'.
The subject of televised election debates will soon raise its ugly head as we near the next election. Milliband is up for it. Clegg is up for it. Farage is definitely up for it. Even the Greens want a piece, which, when considering they have a Member of Parliament, which is more than can be said for Farage's UKIP party, seems only fair. The only recalcitrant is the Prime Minister.
Probably because he is a blustering bully and, as most people know, when it comes down to the crunch, bully's are invariably proven to be craven cowards.
