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

Great links from MmeLindor and FontSnob.

Have I said before I think I love you lot..?

HedleyLamarr · 07/12/2011 23:44

AnyFucker that article needs to be read. I posted it on another thread and got ignored. Never mind.

TeWihara, thanks for sending me the doc. You know by now I've read it and replied. Btw, it's a belter. Look out for it on the blog people.

Time to hit my scratcher too.

Am consumed with Schadenfreude by the thought of David Smarmeron being hoisted on his own petard by EU backbenchers. Thought I would share that with you.

Well that'll teach me to do my own research rather than rely on mates! Social Attitudes Research from July 2010, not July 2009, hence newsworthiness... . Guess agenda is that Cameron thinks he was right all along. God am thick sometimes. There's just so much stuff to digest and think about and worry over.

carernotasaint · 07/12/2011 23:29

Forget Gary Barlow hes a Tory supporter.
A few months ago i was watching old episodes of Drop the Dead Donkey on youtube. Being simply curious i looked up information on some of the actors on the net to see what they are doing now.
The actor who played Dave is called Neil Pearson and he was brought up by a single parent.
i found an old interview that i think he did in 1998 and he gets quite angry and animated when single parents unfairly get blamed for what the elite deem to be wrong with society. (he and i would get on quite well.) I think he would be really supportive if he wanted to get involved. I reckon he would be shocked at the CSA thing and some of the other "policies" that havent been publicised or just wilfully ignored by most of the media.

MmeLindor. · 07/12/2011 23:28

ok, I am all frothed out and off to bed. G'night and thanks for the froth.

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 23:20

Interesting leaked memo

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 23:18

Maybe, in this instance, the UK would like to look to Europe and learn a thing or two from Belgium and Portugal's example, as, in Britain, 33 per cent of a family's net income is spent on childcare. This has resulted in a situation where it actually doesn't make sense for thousands of parents to return to work because they are financially worse off - I know, it took me a while to get my head around that one too. The fact that thousands are not able to go back to work has contributed to 1.07 million women out of work - the highest level for 23 years. Guess who was in power then, too?

Double froth

Marking place again

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 23:13

Legal aid for dealing with custody cases, relationship breakdowns, school expulsions, immigration and victims of clinical negligence will no longer be available.

Froth.

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 22:59

A few of us are following them on twitter already.

I never really understood the point of twitter until now.

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 22:49

Gah! Did you get the second one or did it not attach again?!

Might just copy and paste the bloody thing.

MmeLindor. · 07/12/2011 22:46

Did you see that twet about the tax that Vodaphone pays?

I tried to link Gransnet to this thread, but guess what? They don't allow GNetters to link to threads on MN. Apparently cause they think we might have a bunfight.

Don't they know we are all terrified of the GNetters. My MUM is on there. She would wipe the floor with me.

FontSnob · 07/12/2011 22:46

I'd forgotten how addictive Statcounter is...

HedleyLamarr · 07/12/2011 22:45

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 07/12/2011 22:44

An NHS post would be great - I have a petition ready and waiting.
