This is the 3rd thread in a series.

It is for people who are horrified, frustrated and downright sad at the erosion of human rights with respect to how this country is being run, just now and in the recent past

it is apolitical in nature, but of course due to many recent initiatives by the recent govt, there will be rants against our current "leaders"

please join in

I shall post the link to the old threads, our "Too Many Cuts #Frothers" blog that is attracting a lot of widespread attention and a little bit of what we are about in a moment

Have commented on your post, glitter. Thanks for writing it. It must have been painful for you to do.

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 13/12/2011 09:44

Okay, following a post of the other blog I think we should do a 'sample' of the before and after for a family with 2 disabled children.

Hunty are you around - oh fab at maths person?

I never watched Eastenders either.

Can anyone link to the story about the HoL?

OpinionatedMum · 13/12/2011 07:57

Eastenders

OpinionatedMum · 13/12/2011 07:57

Don't watch Easteners either.

Benefit fraud storyline last night.

What about a storyline about how you can't get incapacity benefit even when you have cancer? No, it has to be fraud. Angry

MmeLindor. · 13/12/2011 07:47

Who wrote the blog post about teachers? It is excellent.

Off to read about the HoL decision. Missed that last night. I have taken to not watching news/reading newspapers after 9pm as I get so frothed up and angry that I cannot sleep.

blackoutthexmaslights · 13/12/2011 07:43

morning all

had a bad night with dd teething so i have written a strongly worded letter to my MP, she is a tory so i'm not expecting a reply anytime soon

MmeLindor. · 13/12/2011 07:33

George Monbiot in the Guardian this morning.

"Though benefit fraud deprives the exchequer of £1.1bn a year while tax avoidance and evasion deprive it of between £40bn and £120bn, the tabloids relentlessly pursue the petty crooks, while leaving the capos alone."

That bears repeating a few times.

TheHumancatapult · 13/12/2011 03:10

I am now. This news about the 50% cut for disabled dc has just, I don't know...Made me realise that these people just don't have a better side to appeal to.

KateFrothers · 12/12/2011 23:37

Yes I might put Middleton back on. I should write a fecking play. I will channel my inner David Hare and her what was about 4 when she wrote for The Royal Court and write something completely shit.

aww, c'mere kate Brew

put your middleton moniker back on, would that help to make a you feel a bit better ?

I know what you mean re. useless tears

what is the point if no-one is listening ? But I do think people are listening....more than they were anyway. Small steps, and let's hope it's not too late for many people...

Kate, remember the child called "ignorance"!

KateFrothers · 12/12/2011 23:27

I feel like some sort of Dicken's character weeping and saying "what will become of us!".

How utterly, utterly useless these tears are. I need to get angry. I need to get active.
