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.

FS did you use your real name ?

northernmonkey · 30/11/2011 21:16

I have tweeted that line to all the mps named so far.

From what I can see there's only 1 other done this with me.

If we seriously want to be heard does anyone else want to tweet them with me??

FontSnob · 30/11/2011 21:16

My account is in my real name.

TapselteerieO · 30/11/2011 21:22

I would like to see politics taken out of protecting the NHS, Education and our Welfare State - these are basic human rights.

I am incoherently angry.

AnyFucker · 30/11/2011 21:23

FS I don't MN nor FB anything of this nature in my real name

I could face disciplinary action at work if I did

I cannot get my twitter account up and running, but I would use a pseudonym there too if i could

FontSnob · 30/11/2011 21:30

hmmm...may open a new one, have just pasted your tweet to all the MP's youve mentioned Northern.

Hopefully if more start doing it aswell there could be a possibility we will be heard.

Would be good to actually get our point across ad not just here on MN

KateMiddIeton · 30/11/2011 21:53

Hey, I've been busy doing employment-y type stuff on PM. What have I missed? Are we contacting all the MPs en masse with the same message?

OP posts:
northernmonkey · 30/11/2011 21:55

Just copy and paste all the above (think ive done 3 posts) and tweet away :)
If not check the #frothers all stories and find us there, you can retweet away then

razors · 30/11/2011 21:55

@northernmonkey - Cheers - busy copying and pasting here!

LaydeeC · 30/11/2011 21:59

How do I tweet Blush
I mean, really, how do I do it?
Do I have to open an account and is it simple?

KateMiddIeton · 30/11/2011 21:59

Excellent. I'm using Twitter on my phone so cutting and pasting a bit tricky but I am following you all now.

My thoughts after today......

  1. Contrary to press reports, Public Sector workers are actually tax payers too.
  1. Leftwing is not an insult (take note shiny Dave)
razors · 30/11/2011 22:05

@LaydeeC It's very easy - I can do it so it must be! go on to Twitter.com and sign up - then copy and past NorthernMonkey's list of MP's on to the white box at the top and your off.

Hullygully · 30/11/2011 22:05

Proud as I am to have coined the term Frothing Berserkers, I am not convinced it is a good idea that we go under the collective name of Frothers...!
