I'm not quite a frothing berserker but I am getting rather cross with our government messing with the good stuff.

Just off the top of my head:

  • 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.

Sorry meant to add and throw sweetners in 'eg selling council houses'

We need a general election now. We need to be listened to now. Before it's too late.

Hunty write a tweet with #frothers and I'll find you.

Totally agree with you KM
Is there another way we can get straight to the top apart from twitter though?
Sorry for my ignorance I just dont understand what twitter can do

I feel like I have found a little home on this thread. I'm just going to quietly seeth [sp?] as I read through the posts.

MollyintheMoon · 29/11/2011 23:28

I'm just so depressed by it all. Sad

KateMiddIeton · 29/11/2011 23:29

Twitter's a good way of communicating with a lot of people at once. This thread is great but a wider audience is needed. There's obviously a lot of people who feel like this. The louder we all shout the more likely we will be heard.

We need some ideas for The Plan as well. For Thursday. Tomorrow is a day of action for many.

May I bring my stupid question over here for the consideration of the frothers. If the coalition collapsed and we got a general election, how possible would it be for them to be elected outright. There seems to be a whole lot of people who support them.

northernmonkey · 29/11/2011 23:33

A question for MNHQ
Are you able to help us in any way? or do you have to sit in the fence.
I totally understand if you do, just wondered if you could help us get going at all even if you secretly pm'd someone

CardyMow · 29/11/2011 23:37

I have managed to find some of the frothers, and have tweeted my first ever tweet. Shock. Look, now you've dragged me kicking and screaming into the 21st Century!

AnyFucker · 29/11/2011 23:38

I have to go to bed

Big day tomorrow

lubeybaublely · 29/11/2011 23:49

Good luck AF

Well dont Hunty :o

FontSnob · 29/11/2011 23:49

Karon Monaghan QC, representing the society, told the judge that, of the £8.1bn in savings raised by the budget, £5.7bn was being borne by women ? "72% as against 28% for men

Fuck me.

lubeybaublely · 29/11/2011 23:49

done*

lubeybaublely · 29/11/2011 23:52

Just nicked that to tweet FontSnob. Blimey.

FontSnob · 29/11/2011 23:54

I may just tweet the same :(

CatIsSleepy · 30/11/2011 00:01

i am properly frothing today

tory wankers

make the poorest pay to try and rescue the economy
yeah fucking fabulous idea

send some more children into poverty? fine idea

CardyMow · 30/11/2011 00:13

I am screwed. I don't HAVE another £10/wk I can shave off my outgoings. Unless I only put half a week's electric on the meter. Or don't buy food for all of us one day a week. Or only pay for 3 weeks water a month. Or go a whole week without Gas for heating and hot water.

THAT is the difference that £10 a week will make to me, you cuntychops Tory fucker, George Osborne. Nice choices, eh?

Hear hear Hunty. Last year we had no heating for the whole winter. Hate to think what will go next :(

perceptionreality · 30/11/2011 00:29

I couldn't agree more and with Hully's posts.

I only hope they don't get in next time, they are Thatcher's children, ie cunts.

swallowedAfly · 30/11/2011 00:33

hmm 'thatcher's children, ie cunts' is another of today's favourites for me.

right bed - hope i don't have frothing dreams. i need a break.
