Hello to all you #frothers
Thought I'd take the liberty of starting us a nice new thread as the other is getting rather full. :)

Still getting angry
Apparently measuring inflation CPI is ok. Without house prices taken into consideration.
the ONLY reason we are f'd in our household is because of our punitive mortgage having bought at high prices, plus the punitive pay cuts based on the fact.....that house prices got too high and the banks got burnt.
Yet the banks made their profits back within the year.

I can't sit here and accept that..any, of this is ok.

lubeybaublely · 02/12/2011 22:42

I can't believe I finally 'get' twitter. Only took... um... two years of being signed up Xmas Blush

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 22:49

I keep seeing people on Twitter doing great things and thinking, ah yes. Must say what great things xxx is doing. And then I can't remember the names. They fall out of my head.

lubey I'm sure you are one but there are several of you.

I am remembering what you are saying even if I can't keep track of names.

ShirleyKnot · 02/12/2011 22:51

I'm so upset.

My CSA thread got moved from campaigns into "the news"

What?

I worked so hard today to get the thread recognised and I'm actually crying

PetiteRaleuse · 02/12/2011 22:54

lubeybaublely · 02/12/2011 22:54

I've just gone and given what for. I mean there is a "campaign" thread about Venture photography. You know, that well known scurge of the people and drain on the tax payer Hmm

KateMiddIeton · 02/12/2011 22:58

Lenin we got a bit cross about the cuts and erosion of the welfare state an' shit.

So we started a blog toomanycuts.blogspot.com/

A facebook page www.facebook.com/frothers

And a twitter campaign using #frothers and now @TMC_frothers

lubeybaublely · 02/12/2011 22:58

Leningrad

(from the original thread) we are frothing about...

"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"

lubeybaublely · 02/12/2011 22:59

Shirley I can't find it in 'in the news' has it been moved yet?

ShirleyKnot · 02/12/2011 23:00

*cpi linked inflation

SpringHeeledJack · 02/12/2011 23:09

WE OWNED THE PRODUCTION AND SUPPLY OF POWER ONCE. THEN IT WAS SOLD TO US. NOW IT'S BANKRUPTING US.

in between hoovering up brick dust this week I have alternately mostly been crying and/or frothing

am getting a better idea of what we're up agin this week. It ain't purdy.

thanks for these threads, #frothers. Tis nice to know am not the only one feels like this.

ShirleyKnot · 02/12/2011 23:12

I think I'm done actually.

My eyes are red and swollen with crying and I can't even work out why I'm so upset.

Apart from the fact that I've worked so hard for a cause which AIN'T FUCKING UNREASONABLE. I'm wasn't asking for for fucking caviar for every child - I just started a thread about the CLEAR INEQUALITY in child support...

You know what? I've got enough fucking aggro in my life.

BIWI · 02/12/2011 23:14

How do I become a contributor to the blog, now that you've made me set up my own blog?!

which is here, by the way!

MmeLindor. · 02/12/2011 23:21

Shirley
Dont MN generally move threads from campaigns? I thought only proper MN campaigns were allowed there.

Don't cry, lovely Shirl.
