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.

blimey we'll be filling up threads fast with all these lists! really helpful though so can't be avoided.

i prob won't make it onto twitter till this afternoon but if people follow me i will add - only thing is it's hard to know who is who as in if it's people from here or not - make sure you have #frothers tweets so are easily recognised.

Can I make a plea on behalf of technophobe frothers? You've all got too technical for me, with your tweeting and hashtags etc. Is there another way we can join in/show support without twitter? Is anyone doing a facebook page? Or something else? I'd offer, but not sure how to go about things...

[pathetic dunce emoticon]

wooly - Twitter really isn't difficult! If you can do FB you can do Twitter!

Can you join with a nickname? I looked at the Twitter homepage and it asks for full name.

Yes, just write in whatever you want.

thanks!

God, I'm pathetic

pretty decent idiot's guide to twitter

Woolly there are some petition links up the thread and garlic's setting up the blog (can't wait to see it but am on phone!) but we will do a FB page. I can set one up. Do you want to be an admin?

You can add We the unheard are telling you the unelected (Con-Dems) that we have HAD ENOUGH #notinmyname #frothers as a FB status update.

I think we need a name. #Frothers is great for attracting attention but I think we need a proper name too.

Any suggestions?

Kate, what is the '#notinmyname' bit in that FB status? Is that someone's user name?
What does a FB admin person do? (interested)
I have just searched 'frothers' on twitter and see some familiar names

Should I 'follow' them?

@Peachyclair

I am a frother and proud of it.

Fed up of what is happening around me. Watching the systems that kept people afloat being decimated. I've blog written for carer watch on the topic of economic inactivity and I am Fed Up.

Sorry for the slight thread hijack, but hope my questions are helping some other non-Tweeters who want to join in...

carers blog

AKA frothing in public

Oooh you are so one of us Peachy!

Woolly FB admins moderate the page and can post as the page. The hashtag #notinmyname is an established twitter hashtag for people protesting. No need to add them to FB. Yes, please do follow the frothers. I'll follow you back.

Name? Against ConDemNation?

Gah! Have to go. The toddler wants parenting

i've only skimmed this, so this might be irrelevant coalitionofresistance.co.uk anticutsprotests.co..uk righttowork.co.uk falseeconomy.co.uk
Join other frothers and gnashers of teeth and froth communally; it's more effective!
