Fed up of the ConDems robbing the poorest and most vulnerable blind? Sympathetic to the squeezed middle? Have you eyes that can see the horrors that await the dismantling of our welfare state and all that is great and good in UK?

Then you're a frother. This is our safe-space to rally, vent and get organised. You are also welcome if you want to be better informed and/or do something.

#Frothers don't join - #frothers ARE. Check out the blog for information and actions you can take, like us on www.facebook.com/frothers Facebook for bite-sized chunks of frothiness you can read, like and share, or get ye to Twitter and tweet your frustrations using the #frothers hashtag or follow us @TMC_frothers.

HarrietJoHoHoHones · 22/12/2011 19:17

Can someone link to the blog for me. I seem to have lost it [ blush]

ShirleyKnotChristmas · 22/12/2011 19:19

Right - I've got connection.

CHRIST! I might MIGHT get something written tomorrow - but I've got to be honest it's looking pretty doubtful - can't do it tonight I'm in a fruitless argument with a friend via text message and it's not only taking up my evening but also sapping my frothy energy the arse

Keep on frothing

Interesting link - is the blog too new to link to CiF or the Comment Network, do you think?

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 22/12/2011 20:19

I'm not sure - but we should definately get all that info up on the blog. Some is there already - but there's lots more according to that!

MmeReindor · 22/12/2011 21:02

Going to finish my blog post and get it up tomorrow, and will add another post tonight or tomorrow about the Scottish MSPs.

Welcome Pan. Kept meaning to tell you about the Frothers on that tax thread. I could tell you were One of Us

Fancy writing something for t'blog?

DeePanCrisPandEeeven · 22/12/2011 21:06

Gosh that would be interesting, Mme. Tell me what specifics there are and how many words? I read some of it earlier and like the brevity and punchiness.

MmeReindor · 22/12/2011 21:23

Pan
We don't really have any guidelines. Whatever you want to write about, however long or short. You can have a look on the 12 Days thread and see if there is something there that catches your eye. Or something else.

I put my post on my own blog today, as I have done quite a few already for Frothers. But if you want to RT the hell out of it, I won't mind

I had my final CFS counselling session today (final because I've had my lot, not that I'm better!) I asked the counsellor to take a look at our blog and consider writing a post. It'll be fab if she does - she sees the very sharp end of things, and has to help people deal with the unacceptable. Lovely woman. Hope she says yes.

AvadventKalendar · 23/12/2011 00:42

Sounds positive GNC :)

Am trying to write a thing about how to make a difference but not doing too well.

I'm shit at this kind of thing!

MmeReindor · 23/12/2011 08:05

Anyone around?

Stuck on the last fecking verse still. To the tune of Whilst Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night and about Workfare/single mums/ESA

last verse:

All glory be to Cameron,
And to Gideon be peace;
Good William Hague will be a bit vague, ???
Begin and never cease!

KnottyJustForChristmas · 23/12/2011 08:20

Good William Hague, protected from the Cuts plague ?

KnottyJustForChristmas · 23/12/2011 08:24

While society's debts increase

MmeReindor · 23/12/2011 08:26

ah that is good. Think I will go with the vague rather than plague though.

MmeReindor · 23/12/2011 08:27

Good William Hague, and Nick the Vague?

KnottyJustForChristmas · 23/12/2011 08:29

like Nick the Vague! Grin

KnottyJustForChristmas · 23/12/2011 08:30

The name not the fella obv!

KnottyJustForChristmas · 23/12/2011 08:33

Last line....

Watch Society's debts increase

Watch misery increase

Hmmmm

KnottyJustForChristmas · 23/12/2011 08:35

Immune to the the poverty increase?
