Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Frothy and Triumphant! Oh Come Lefties, Come Ye to anti ConDem-nay-tion!

[KateMiddlet0n]

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.

This is our 4th thread now!

Font Snob, I'm battling away at some javascript navigation for the blog. It's very hard - and will never be ideal - because Blogger repaginates according to the amount of content. That's perfectly reasonable, but explains why blogs can be a bastard to navigate!

Whatver you do, don't alter the 'flat format' blog archive. It's the closest to native navigation you'll get on Blogger.

If you want to take over, be my guest. It's doing my head in

Louise Mensch has shown some understanding for things like this before. I follow her on twitter too, and must admit to a lurking admiration for her.

I tweeted Sally Bercow before but got no response.

FS again - You can't categorise without losing fluidity. All tags are clickable: have a go, you'll get all the posts with that label. Tags can be added dynamically by any poster, and we don't want to change that because it would restrict searchable topics. At present, you create a topic just by writing about it and tagging it :)

I could put a list of tags dowen the side. Not sure how much use it's be, though - confusing??

Blimey typing.

Better have a vodka break

Oh God the carer's Premium rate released for 2012 is £31 PW

How far is that meant to go?

Bloody incompetent idiots

2012 benefit rates

...because they are self-serving bastards?

Fiona Philips was on TV the other morning saying £55 a week for carers was not enough. She's centre right isn't she? Perhaps she's someone to petition.

Garlic, I have no such skills unfortunately. :( Te mentioned that she could (if the baby doesn't get here first.) Is there a way to categorise via the tags? Shall I shut up now?! :)

I'm SW London. We're too busy down here trying to get the council to follow the legal process with regards to hearing appeals and considerations for having a secular secondary school in the borough (Richmond). We are two secondary schools short for the number of pupils we have. Instead our council is championing a Catholic school. This is despite there already being catholic schools in the borough which have an intake from out of borough and only 10% of residents are Catholic

@Fiona_Phillips is her Twitter addy

Oops sorry garlic that was a cross post.

insert something techy that I could be beaten with

Gawd, if I'm not careful, I'm going to lose you lot!

The lazy easy way to do it would be to do a post with the tags we use for different issues linking to each one. We could add to the end of the "who are frother's bit" or have a new tab called "topics"

I want to see if I can get the native XML to output a list of all the tags.
If possible (laughs hysterically) that will leave posters free to add new tags as needed.

In anycase, you can't restrict tag flexibility. You either have 'em or not.

here ya go, something techie (podger, Dh uses for spanner jobs whilst rigging) that you could be ebaten quite soundly with

a post with the tags we use for different issues linking to each one Te, you don't need to - it already does it :) Click on a tag!

Blogger is a very clever piece of software.Every time you think it's being awkward, it turns out they did it so you can't fuck it up too badly

Peachy! The best thing about that is its name ...

No no, I realise you can click on the tags, but there's no page with all the tags currently in use is there?

I know Garlic...

Peachy the Carers Allowance 2012 is £58.45
The £31 is an additional premium available for carers when calculating Council Tax Benefit.

Thank bloody goodness

Although from May all I will be doing is looking for a job, 'cept that thread about SAHMs and carers won't ever get work is scaring me: even though I have acquired a degree and an amost MA in my time at home.
