Too Many Cuts...come join the #Frothers and have your say

942 replies

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

The link to AF's thread about jobseekers being FORCED to work FT for their meagre £67 a week jobseekers allowance - complete destruction of employment rights.

Hello all - checking in. I have been very active on Twitter but not managed to put anything together for the blog. TBH, my planning based rants are nothing compared to the wonderful stuff you ladies have been posting so I'll give some careful consideration to what I write about. I am intending to contribute though, I promise.

Hurrah for the #frothers though - seems to be a huge success.

(my mum has sky and has constant problems - 02 for everything here best and cheapest which is a double bonus)

You need to give your PC a good kicking, AF.

Am still coughing, despite cough mixture and mulled wine.

SantaIsAnAnagramOfSatan · 07/12/2011 21:37

agreed - especially fed up when many of them don't actually save any money anyway and therefore appear to be ideological changes being pushed through under the guise of 'hard times' and 'austerity'.

Kate's call to arms on the first thread...

  • Student fees
  • Public sector workers terms and conditions (otherwise known as moving the goal posts after the match has started)
  • Women (Report on Fawcett legal challenge result here)
  • Sure Start
  • NHS
  • Erosion of employment rights
  • Removal of EMA
  • Removal of universal child benefit
  • Unfair changes to DLA
  • Unfair changes to ESA assessment

I am getting more and more fed up that these decisions are being made to take away some of the things we should be most proud of and that took years to be achieved.

This thread is a safe haven for some ranting as I know some of us are feeling sick and tired of it all.
