To be purple with rage over workfare

[HoneyandHaycorns]

Sorry, I know there are loads of related threads on here, but I am getting really, really really upset and angry about the fucking workfare programme. It's an absolute outrage that my taxes are funding slave labour to line the pockets of huge tax-avoiding corporations, while the most vulnerable in our society are having their lifelines snatched away from them one by one.

I want to voice my protest, but apart from writing to my MP (which I have done) what is the best way of fighting this crap?

I simply can't believe that anyone in a civilised society could possibly think this was a good idea. Why on earth would a private company ever create any new jobs if they can have government-funded slave labour for free?

Will someone please come and tell me why the fuck anybody other than the boss of tescos would conceivably think this was a good idea?

And if you can't tell me why it is a good idea, please tell me the best way to protest.

Thank you!

I've signed your petition and erm...tweeted it to a few people. I hope you don't mind.

This guy on five live the American is George W bum boy

I don't like this American bloke. Has he researched this at all?

DROP the NMW? When it isn't enough without tax credits?

Fuck off!

yeah fuck off idiot man he is making himself sound like an idiot

You fucking rocked, carer!

can't believe he said that. i don't think he's grasped properly what they're talking about.

You were brilliant!

You were bloody BRILLIANT! Well done!

I didnt manage to get much out. i tried my best.

Fuck that Katie Hopkins is a mouthy cow.

I noticed them muting you. Honestly, I am so very proud on your behalf

Oh it was enough! Really brought them out of the woodwork...

Were you the last caller before this bloke? You were great! Not much chance for you to get a word in edgeways.

Katie hopkin is vile

Did they broadcast the fact that that i chose the chatline cos its paid and had to keep the job a secret from my parents.

"Inequality breeds a free market that's what we need to be part of?" That Katie woman just admitted to wanting there to be inequality she has obviously never had to deal with difficulty in her life

Seetec got that bloke sanctioned for his partner having a miscarriage? CUNTS.

Yes carer, they did. We heard if the panel didn't

Yes they did carer... you spoke very clearly that American guy was a space cadet, I'm so upset for you having to work for a sex line that idiot man responded by saying you were getting out of the house

KATIE HOPKINS IS A FUCKING BITCH

She really is a good old fashioned DICK HEAD

Amy yes that was me.

Yes, but we knew that anyway...

She's been well dismantled on MN a few times. Especially the rather exciting time she came in person looking for policies for Euro parliament.

Yes. When you said "Because it was paid" they blenched (have it on video here).

Actually it was a media moment. You may get follow-up, I'd have thought.

And they got the bit about your family as well.

Is that Katie the one from the Apprentice who got caught frolicking in that field with a married bloke or am i getting mixed up?
