The "Down with this sort of thing" picket. There is a burger van and you can wear your donkey jacket and fingerless gloves

[KatieMiddleton]

Fed up of the cuts? Fed up of the mislead bigotry? This is your sanctuary. Unwind. Vent. Pop over to the frothers thread if you feel like getting organised and doing some proactive stuff or just chill out with a cup of builders tea in a polystyrene cup.

Welcome.

I'm too young to know that much about the miners. I really SHOULD do some reading on that. Anyone got any suggestions?

Pants.... just when I thought I had caught up with the frothers thread I realise that the place for cup pas, and frothing happily, had moved to here and now I am 777 messages behind....
Pants...

Oh well. I shall start from here and hope someone can summarise 777 messages into a couple of sentences for me? Any takers?

Anyhow, gloves wrapped around tea... Muttering... Why can't we stop letting off the top corporations from tax bills, instead of cutting into the welfare state? And, why can't people see that the system needs to protect the truly vulnerable and in need... Not just blast the system apart hoping to fling out a few actual fraudulent claimers in one massive strike that hits everyone?

Hmmm cuppa is good.

Hmmmmm...the mind boggles!

I went out with some really quite rich friends at the weekend (well, they took me out, bless them.) They are outraged by the wrongness of the cuts. They totally get the point.

I wish there were some way to break down the media 'blackout' and let everyone see how widespread this revulsion is.

Just come from the chat thread about who earns over 40k, I need shower now.

Garlicfrother When Labour were bringing the private sector into the NHS (makes me want to cry but I'm not sure I can ever trust them again) you couldn't get a story about it in the papers for love or money. It was the whole TINA thing. I think it says a lot when those that are quite well off can see how wrong and twisted the cuts are, gives me a bit of hope!

PS Thank you all! I was really excited about finding this thread!

Okay - I know it's not the campaigning thread, but these are the instructions for tomorrow if you want to try and fight to get all these amendments actually made part of the bill instead of IDS pushing the damn thing through without any of the tiny bit sof protection the House of Lords managed to negotiate.

Personally I'm hoping everyone is visited by the ghost of economies past, present and future tonight and has a change of heart and kicks the whole damn thing out...

Where did everyone go?

Bed? .
