Fed up of the ConDems robbing the poorest and most vulnerable blind? Sympathetic to the squeezed middle? Have you eyes that can see the horrors that await the dismantling of our welfare state and all that is great and good in UK?

Then you're a frother. This is our safe-space to rally, vent and get organised. You are also welcome if you want to be better informed and/or do something.

Hi TeWi, the gubment lost the "spare room" vote. Good.

Hully, am I too late for your pome? Smile

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 15/12/2011 16:06

Hello sorry I was relativing and DD had her first nativity today (simple pleasures help when the froth takes over I feel!)

Really glad to hear DS seems well Kate.

I like Jack's newspaper thingy being called Frothers!

And finally... what happened at HoL yesterday? I got totally lost and muddled.

MmeLindor. · 15/12/2011 15:39

Right. Back from school run and feeling a bit better.

That was strange though. Maybe connected to my sore shoulder and back (from coughing I think).

Have retired to the couch wiht a Lemsip and have called off my LNO with friends.

Hully

(whooops, almost wrote Huffy there, freudian slip perhaps?)

Where is your pome? Did I miss it?

Hullygully · 15/12/2011 15:21

No no, I wanted someone to KINDLY VOLUNTEER to read it. Which Shirl has after a big kick

I didn't realise we had to request Hully. I thought you were just milking it whipping your audience into a frenzy.

They suffered a defeat but will ignore it, tho.

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 15/12/2011 15:17

I want read it Grin

Yes for the gov to suffer defeat in the H of L was marvellissimo.

Hullygully · 15/12/2011 15:16

I'm doing a nativity story now. Whether you like my pome or not.

OpinionatedMum · 15/12/2011 15:13

Where is it Hully?

ShirleyKnot · 15/12/2011 15:11

PM me it Hully you big girl

Hullygully · 15/12/2011 15:09

I'm going to cry if no one wants to read my pome

Sorry I've been off catching up. DS seems fine. Just bit out of kilter with sleep and I have yet another cold Hmm

Jack's newspaper is very kind of him. I have looked now and will tweet him back.

There is hope. That HoL vote is something.

Great blog posts. Well done! I haven't written anything yet but I've been commenting, tweeting and FBing as much as I can.

MmeL hope you're ok.

Right, am off for a lie down. Not sure if this is my very first migraine, but I have flashy lights in front of my eyes. Weird.

That's good Mme. I shall nip over and let him know. Will link it on Twitter as well. Smile

MmeLindor. · 15/12/2011 14:32

I would say keep it.

I noticed that someone unconnected to us on Twitter used #frothers when he was ranting about something the ohter day there.

HedleyLamarr · 15/12/2011 14:31

Hi MmeL, it's his own daily news update which he's renamed The Frothers Daily in our honour. He wants to know if you lot like it and want the name left or should he change it back. I say keep the name up.

Ginfox · 15/12/2011 14:22

Sorry Mme. I'm a little ray of sunshine today Grin.

MmeLindor. · 15/12/2011 14:19

Kate
How is your DS doing?

Hedley
Sorry to say that I haven't really looked at that properly, and not really sure what it is. Can he explain in plain and simple words?

Sorry he did tweet the forthers account @tmc_frothers but I've been looking after ds after his op and not had a chance to get onto a computer (phone doesn't do such things justice).

Coincidentally I've just tweeted him about it to say I'm looking. Am off to look properly right now.

Now, come on. There are good and positive signs.

The Lords revolt has stirred things up a bit.

Our blog has had a LOT of views in such a short time.

People are finally waking up to what is really happening.

Keep sharing the blog, keep writing, keep linking.

And remember. Nothing is set in stone. Everything can be campaigned against and changed.

I have set up a gmail guest frothers account so that we can post anonymous blog posts. Kate, will email you the details.

HedleyLamarr · 15/12/2011 14:11

Fellow #frothers, the lovely @Iamalrightjack on Twitter has redone his daily news page in our honour. Here it is for your delectation and delight. He'd like to know if we want this change to be permanent. He's a bit Hmm that I'm the only respondent thus far.

Ginfox · 15/12/2011 14:07

Absolutely agree Rather. All that talk about the coalition breaking down following Cameron's little trip to Brussels, and how it could force an election. And I just think "what difference will it make?" Even if - by some miracle - Labour get back in, they aren't far to the left of the current shower. Sad

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 15/12/2011 13:43

Couldn't sleep last night, I was just too worried and anxious and frothed up about all the crap that is happening to our country. Too worried about what we will become and what people will have to endure. All this shit.

And my great fear at the moment is that I don't see an opposition. Not really. And where on earth does that leave us?

ShirleyKnot · 15/12/2011 13:43

Mme - sent you the blog.

Hope it's OK
