Too Many Cuts...come join the #Frothers and have your say

[AnyFuckerForAMincePie]

This is the 3rd thread in a series.

It is for people who are horrified, frustrated and downright sad at the erosion of human rights with respect to how this country is being run, just now and in the recent past

it is apolitical in nature, but of course due to many recent initiatives by the recent govt, there will be rants against our current "leaders"

please join in

I shall post the link to the old threads, our "Too Many Cuts #Frothers" blog that is attracting a lot of widespread attention and a little bit of what we are about in a moment

link to MN campaign of the week to do with how the cuts effect families with disabled DC

Thank you Kate and Hunty

I honestly couldn't bear to read. I was afraid of breaking my keyboard. I have worse froth than ever thanks to sudden PMT and, well, everything frankly.

I think I need a lie down in a darkened room but won't be getting one til bedtime!

Lubes. Firestarter, twisted firestarter. East Midlands.

If I showed my arse on the Town Hall steps, everyone would think there was an eclipse. .

[AnyFuckerForAMincePie]

I don't recommend it julia

I would show my arse on the town hall steps though (Northern saying)

[SantaIsAnAnagramOfSatan]

and then they make your mum homeless and take her pension away cos it's all the mum's fault julia

[JuliaScurr]

AnyFucker That's a lot of annoyed people. Our annoyance is rather politely contained at present. I feel this may limit the impact. Would any one like to set fireh to a bus? It gets publicity. Oh, and about 4 years

[CardyMow]

I posted about the reasons for the disregard earlier on that thread.

[SantaIsAnAnagramOfSatan]

bleurgh - basic logic: a man is only responsible for the offspring of a woman who is still letting him shag her and ironing his shirts? erm... no!

[KateFrothers]

lubeybaublely I've been over there. It's actually not quite as bad as it looks. It's a badly written title and OP and shows an ignorance of the process and the reality but she means well. Hunty and MmeL have too.

As not sure how the figures will stack up for the best

[TeWiharaMeriKirihimete]

Oh yes, of course. That would be a great post.

[Peachy]

I told her to message agrlicnutter. Shall point her your way though

EDCM- Every Disabled Child Matters.

[TeWiharaMeriKirihimete]

What's EDCM Peachy? (getting confused with acronyms now)

Have you got a gmail account for her? I can send out a blog writers invite now if she'd like to do it.

[TeWiharaMeriKirihimete]

done that for you Hunty - bet they are a CSA evading NRP!!

Do you know that it wasn't until I read this thread that I realised a bloke I know (I won't call him a friend, as he's clearly an abusive wanker) has been avoiding maintenance for years on the whole "oh, if I give you more it'll just get docked out your IS" line. He is utterly loaded as well.

Never mind, I think the RP is better off without him and his money tbh!

[Peachy]

Poster formerly known as glittaknicaz is willing to do it, Independent has done a story about her today. Think she would be fab. Need a variety of voices.

[lubeybaublely]

I can't bear to read the (below) thread as I'm in too much of a frothing froth about MANY things today, but has anyone been on here to explain about maintenance disregard or would anyone like to

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1361831-To-think-maintence-payments-should-be-cal

arrrrrrrrgh

[Peachy]

Am loathe to do the MN EDCM one as it's EDCM and mya rea does not fall under their auspices; however will let you know if I find anyone.

[Peachy]

Ah I see; ours is a bit different not being in England.

[CardyMow]

I can't add comments to the blog, I've tried - But can someone put this reply up for me:

"Actually, Labour had first a £10 a week disregard, and then a £20 a week disregard of maintenance BEFORE they started to deduct anything from the Lone Parent's Income Support. This has been the case for the last decade. And it doesn't matter WHO ended the relationship, OR why - the non-resident parent is STILL financially responsible for their children."

Thank you.

And what a TOSSER. Doesn't matter if a woman has left a relationship - she may have left for any NUMBER of reasons - like her husband/partner may have been cheating, may have been abusive, may have been financially controlling, may have refused to take a fair share of the childcaring responsibilities etc. The NRP is STILL responsible for paying for his dc, blokes likethe 'geezer' who commented on the blog are the very REASON that the CSA has to exist!

He proves HIMSELF wrong, doesn't he!

[CardyMow]

Family Fund in my area is ONLY doing disability equipment, as they are getting too many funding requests for Mac Majors and Wheelchairs, as our OT service isn't just overstretched - it snapped two years ago. They are ONLY doing OT equipment here for the last 2 yrs. It's not their fault - but what is more important? A wheelchair for someone non-mobile, or a fridge for a disabled LP? I'd rather they spent what they had on the wheelchairs!

[Peachy]

Hunty ahve you accessed family fund yet? Useful for white goods etc, once a year charity grant

[TeWiharaMeriKirihimete]

Oh I see! Ah well, if it keeps 'em amused...

I particularly like the way we are paranoid despite putting a lot of effort and work into research and fact checking.
