This is our 4th thread now!

MrsM
I agree with a lot of what you wrote. What is HIPs, btw?

I was wondering about Muppetwatch, cause I thought I was a bit thick for not understanding what he wrote. Glad to hear that others find it incomprehensible.

hello frothy fuckers

i know your foaming about something else - but i just wanted to bring this to your attendtion the big society is a pile of shit stained wank. and the guardian would like your comments

Big Society = taking away services + money from the vulnerable and leaving nothing to replace them.

"The moral test of a government is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick and the needy, and the handicapped." - Hubert Humphrey

^^ just in case you miss that on the other thread. Have tweeted it

I've got the 20 hrs thing saved on a PDF file or 15 that is titled "Universal Credit Policy Briefing Note", it's in the conditionality one, numbered, oh hang on, I've got to open Adobe to have a look - I'll tell you which number UCPBN it's in in a minute!

I don't know how to link to a PDF file, but when I've told you which number it is, you can google them, and they come up on google, so you can download it to read yourselves.

Universal Credit Policy Briefing Note 11. That's the one you need. Though I have just realised that I am missing UCPBN 12 - am orf to Google and download, and see what else they're going to do to us...

Hey Custy thanks for the info. I think we are frothing on a number of fronts. Every time we think we've sussed just what the bastards are up to they move the goal posts with some more (to quote your rather well put turn of phrase) "shit stained wank".

Hello all, I'm back proper for a bit. DS has had his op and is fine, but has been a bit tired from the anaesthetic so is still up and watching Cars

Some good news: we have 200 facebook followers now and almost 250 on Twitter which doesn't sound a lot but the retweets are high and the #frothers hashtag is doing very well so we're punching well above our weight there. You can also block irritating people (like the delightful Muppet Watch) so they can't follow you, list you or PM you. Very satisfying

We could do with some a new blog post as today was the first day without a new post.

quick question re. twitter

if you follow someone then block them, do they know ?

hunty sterling work by you on the tory thread for not losing your temper

All going well then! Sorry I'm a bit useless atm - it was false labour last night, but getting v knackered and not really with it now.

Anyone want to do a big society one then?

AF They will only know if were following you too and notice you have disappeared from their timeline or if they search for you and try to follow you and can't.

I could have a bash at Big Society. It will be off the cuff and ranty, but I can bash it out quickly.

I can't get fired up at the moment

I wanted to do a blog post on the new social housing under-occupancy guidelines earlier. I couldn't. What's wrong with me ?

That Guardian thingy. I can't. Defeatism is moving in at the Fucker household.

My bloody internet keeps bugering up and not letting me open things. Grr. Where is the best place to look to find out about the things that are going through the HoL at the moment? I should just google it shouldn't I...

oh dear, kate, I might be stuffed then

Grr, is so fecking annoying, will let me use google and mn but not other sites...wtf is that about??

What have you done?

link for HoL site does that work?

Thanks Hunty, will google that and SAVE IT!

I'd love to do a blog post for TMC but I'm fick

Ava, you are not

Please do a blog post, some of us are flagging

kate, I blocked a few perfectly nice people on twitter

I thought they wouldn't know

I could write about my families recent experience of homelessness if whoever is organising the blog is interested. I think it is relevant as many families will be evicted when the HB cuts come in. I'm not a great writer but I'm prepared to try.

I can empathise Any, I'm seriously fucking flagging.
Oh and by the way thank you for being so very lovely about me

They probably won't notice. Unless you were the only person they were following.

We are all interested, OM

and I'm sorry

Thanks Kate, I have managed to get there but am completely flummoxed by the sheer weight of information that the site contains.

:)

I hope so, kate
