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

[KateMiddIeton]

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.

I wrote a frothy blog

It's a bit shit but it is deffo frothy and was inspired by you lot!

Oh and have commented on the Ed Webchat.

Well done Shirley

@KateM

and here it is from the Treasury website:

Any public sector worker should be extremely anxious about this and the motives for it - and I cannot believe it has not been given more coverage by the unions and media.

Do I need to say it again. Probably not but I will. Cunts

Just read your subsequent post. Of course, it would also apply to those in the private sector when an employer changes. As an LA employee I have always seen it in relation to public services being privatised (and often brought back in house once the private supplier has made their money and decimated the service).

Slavery it is - watch the fat cat companies transfer staff between their subsidiaries to trash employee terms and conditions.

This lot are evil. I'm just hoping that the coalition will fall apart before they have the opportunity to implement any of this.

But I guess that that power whore Clegg will have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the front bench. I'm suprised he doesn't just cross over to the tories - he is dead wood as a lib dem.

Shirl, that's bloody marvellous!

Good one ShirleyKnot.

If I may just add one more line

We didn't start the fire that led to cuts and left the country bereft
It was those plonkers that left a note saying "there's no money left"

Hello FrothyFriends

Back from a rally in Manchester. Massive turnout (1000's and 1000's). Massive atmosphere. There were people lining the length of Deansgate, clapping as we marched past. People hanging out of office windows (private sector) to show support.

Loads of attention. News teams interviewing people and news helicoptors overhead.

No trouble, despite several tactical police units at strategic points.

I am so glad I attended. Even if it makes no difference, I will have had my voice heard. I will continue to do so.

Anybody fancy a I am frozen solid

Applauds AF

glad to hear it AF!

I though all the union reps they were interviewing on the bbc came across as really confident and reasonable.

Ha !

I just turned the news on to see FuckOffDave trying to describe the public sector demonstrations as a "damp squib"

He is lying

TeW, they are

Despite FuckMedave trying to convince every ordinary person that they are selfish, greedy megalomaniacs

Good turn out in Huddersfield too.

We joined late as I'd made an optician's appointment for ds in between picketing & rallying, & it over-ran - dd2 saw the march & ran out shouting 'Flag! FLAAAGG!' & attempted to wrest one off a passing Socialist Worker...

Damp squid it was not.

I do wonder whether they have enough life experience to be messing about with things like DLA and I don't believe David or Samantha Cameron understand the domestic issues of caring for a severely disabled child either like the vast majority of carers do in this country, though I do understand that they will have experienced the emotional side of it.

I may have suggested Ed "strap on a pair" on the Q&A thread

God, he's a loathesome c*.

I referring to Dave C by the way.

There is no need to asterisk out 'chap'

claig - fuck off

charming

Oh, you seem to have mistaken me. I meant cunt. The asterisks are habit from people telling me not to swear on FB.

haha!

claig, sweetie, if you'ree happy with everything happening in the UK at the moment there is simply no need for you to be on a thread about being unhappy with things the way they are. That's just silly!

I'm not happy. I support the strikers. But I don't think everyone else is c*
and I liked your poem.
