Comment on The general election is no longer about politics. It’s about morals – and the Tories and Labour have none. by Hunter

Comment on Rishi’s ‘mandatory’ national service is already a confusing, unpopular mess by Annold Kaynine

Annold Kaynine — Mon, 27 May 2024 09:17:17 +0000

The only reason for proposing this lunatic policy is to encourage younger people to vote for Starmer’s Labour Party in order to oppose it. If Labour win a working majority at the next election, the ruling classes, the establishment and corporate business will have maintained control of the UK government. Nobody in their right mind would propose a policy of mandatory national service at this point in Britain’s history and expect anything other than people voting to oppose it.

Indeed. We know from recent history that when push comes to shove the BoE will pony, so why isn’t Labour proposing to use that facility? https://web.archive.org/web/20200409173306/https://www.ft.com/content/664c575b-0f54-44e5-ab78-2fd30ef213cb

Comment on BBCQT audience member destroys Labour’s Bridget Phillipson – leaving her with no way back by Tom Clother

Tom Clother — Sat, 25 May 2024 10:58:22 +0000

So The Canary is recommending voting for the Liberal Democrats now? To quote: ‘Literal neo-fascists.
Far-right Tories.
Right-wing Tories with red rosettes.
Centre-right Tories with orange ties.
Sometimes Tories with some other decent people but all of them wearing green cardigans.
The Canary’s advice to you is don’t vote for any of the first three on that list at the general election’

Thanks for your advice but I will be sticking to voting for the Green Party. They are by no means perfect but their manifesto is the closest to what I think needs doing.

Send it ‘signed for’ on delivery, ALWAYS, costs coupla quid at a post office, you get a tracking number & you can lookup when it arrives- even if its just at an opening centre, its an excellent stick to use against DWP bullshit.

This country is complicit, along with America and others, in the genocide that Israel is enacting.
We are supplying the wherewithal for Israel to maim, kill, and target journalists.
By killing journalists and banning Al Jazeera, Israel is trying to hide their illegalities.

IIRC, mail didn’t used to go to the DWP until after it went to a special section of the Royal Mail to be checked for suspect devices and so on. It could sit in there for God knows how long before being forwarded to the actual DWP so it really did need to be tracked at every possible stage of the journey. It was widely understood using the prepaid reply envelope which came with forms invited disaster and that the envelope itself, once filled, should be stuffed into a covering envelope (or more likely a parcel in some cases) sent Special Delivery to take advantage of the tracking. Then when the DWP would claim non-delivery it could be established through the tracking the problem was with the Royal Mail sitting on the item rather than any tardiness in sending it on behalf of the claimant. There was considerable and understandable consternation about this when it was made public as it meant unqualified Royal Mail staff were being given access to claimant’s most intimate health details. I find myself wondering if this can still be the case given GDPR…
However, I see from looking at the Govt site the procedure carried out by DWP personnel involves their creating scans of all documents received after which originals are returned to claimants and copies logged on to the system. It would be nice to think this was performed prompt upon receipt but knowing the DWP it seems more likely items received could be hanging around, again for God knows how long, before being opened, scanned and logged. The problems this can cause are obvious and no doubt account for the issues you’re having, underlining once again the necessity of accurate tracking.

Comment on Snivelling Paula Vennells’ white woman tears are only because she got caught – yet still she lies by ChrisLP

ChrisLP — Thu, 23 May 2024 08:34:59 +0000

Vennells is a terrible person but: “White woman tears” is despicable phraseology. “Many white women cry because their tears elicit sympathy.” And there I was thinking that “crocodile tears” ( as they used to be known) were a genderless, colourless, human trait. Had she happened to be a black woman what would her self-pitying tears have been called then?

Comment on I write about DWP failures for a living – and now its the reason I’m losing my vital benefit by DrailD

Dear Rachel,
Believe me, I TOTALLY sympathise with and understand your horrendous situation, and I salute your work in bringing the DWP’s systems and behaviour to a wider audience – I have many politicised disabled friends.
Having experienced similar problems to yourself I know, when they can, they ALWAYS use Royal Mail Special Delivery with important or time restricted forms going to the DWP. (These forms can require doctors letters and other difficult to get supplementary forms and signatures).
As I understand it, Special Delivery is the only mail service which tracks the mail at EVERY stage of the journey.
I just felt people should be made aware of this, as it is worth it for peace of mind.
Of course, cash-strapped disabled people could find just a few pounds for this extra postal security financially out of reach. And they SHOULDN’T have to resort to such a cost in the first place!
I hope you get your frightening situation resolved quickly.
Kindest regards,
DrailD

Another way for politicians to waste huge amounts of money by bragging and slagging off each other, why the Tories can’t see they will lose and donate the money to a worth while cause, they prefer to give it to already rich social media and media outlets. They are all stupid.

Comment on Doctors FURIOUS as Labour’s shadow NHS secretary shows he still doesn’t know how the NHS works by Airlane1979

Airlane1979 — Wed, 22 May 2024 12:09:20 +0000

The doctors’ main organisation, the BMA, has a history worse than that of the Labour party, bad as that is. Bear in mind that Nye Bevan said he had to “stuff the doctors’ mouths with gold” to persuade the BMA in 1948 to support the creation of the NHS. And the BMA has said and done nothing in response to the healthcare catastrophe in Gaza, for which the UK is so closely linked.

Comment on DWP has now stripped OVER 180,000 people of their benefits in forced move to Universal Credit by Cronk

Cronk — Wed, 22 May 2024 06:28:43 +0000

By far the biggest bill for the Welfare astate are Pensions. But 2/3 of that bill is paid to less than 1/3 of Pensioners……Retired Civil Servants. For over 3 decades now the Taxpayer has been picking up the bill for the insolvent Civil Service Pension Fund. The vast majority of these pension ars totally unrealistic and as a consequence the CBI estimate the Pension Fund has a black-hole of THREE TRILLION POUNDS!!
This is what bankruptcy Greece nd needs urgent attention now!!!

Comment on ICC prosecutor officially seeks arrest warrant for Netanyahu – but will the UK protect him? by Madge

Madge — Tue, 21 May 2024 10:58:04 +0000

Hamas and specifically the alQassam brigades, the military wing, are a resistance organisation. They have the right in International Law and UN resolutions to use military means to fight occupation, racism and apartheid. I understand why they are being charged, to try and mitigate the reaction from Zionists, but it’s like charging the French Resistance alongside the Nazis at Nuremberg.

I hope the Welsh government will now change the law so there is no ambiguity about the use of Welsh in Wales.
As to the comment above, yes to some this may seem trivial but the world never stops and we must endeavour to live the best way we can and use that ability to choose to help others.

Your readers will have to forgive me if I find this a firestorm of humbug in a bureaucratic tea cup.
Good people in the Middle East are having bombs dropped on their heads today in a genocidal war of attrition by a cruel, vindictive apartheid state.
And we read above “… the Welsh Government needs to correct the serious flaw in the legislation in order to ensure that the people of Wales can use the Welsh language in all aspects of their lives.

Comment on Violence against LGBTQ+ people SURGING in Europe, new report finds by A J R Wood

A J R Wood — Wed, 15 May 2024 17:57:06 +0000

Please just consider for a minute whether why you always refer to a LGBTQI+ ‘community’. LGB people have a natural same-sex sexual orientation. They were born with this, and we rightly object to the idea of ‘conversion therapy’. However trans and intersex people do not accept the gender they were born with and even promote the idea of ‘therapy’, even surgery, based on self-identification. Now how adults identify themselves socially is up to them, but it is not abusive if others dispute their assertion that gender is not biological but a personal choice or something ‘assigned’ by authority. In short, transgenderism denies the existence of buological gender altogether and this dehumanises and preys on people much as the advertising industry has done its best to undermine people’s self confidence and psychological stability for many years. Of course there are a (very small) number of people who are neither xx nor xy chromosomes. They could celebrate that, or they could decide if they wished to adopt a male or female persona. But if children and vulnerable people especially are undermined , confused snd exploited, made to feel they are inadequate, in the wrong body, it may make money for certain physicians therapists and pharma companies but it is abusive.

Leave the kids alone. Stop turning people into victims. And stop trying to portray anyone who cannot accept this dehumanising totalitarian technocratic agenda a ‘bigot’. It’s offensive and untrue.

in particular ender is not a consumer choice and if people are uncmforta cannot reasonably force other people to agree with that identification.

Rishi Sunak’s plans to criminalise rough sleeping have been slammed,
as substance-related deaths are set to rise Rough sleeping: Sunak does NOT have the answer, With at least 309,000 homeless people in the UK, which is estimated to rise by 14% within a year, addiction rehabilitation experts at Rehabs UK have highlighted the concerning relationship between homelessness and drug-related deaths.

If only these politicians (I include Starmer, Streeting, Reeves et al in Labour) could experience en masse a few years of , say, CFS/ME, or Long Covid. These truly disabling conditions are a living hell for so many people, and we are just left to get on with it whilst being demonised as scroungers, liars and criminals. There is no help available doctors are not interested, the media is Largely toxic, And echoes the government rhetoric, which is all about money. If you’re not a productive unit, you do not matter. This was blatantly displayed During Austerity, and then the Covid crisis. Government has been castigated by the United Nations for Cruel and unusual treatment Of disabled people on more than one occasion But it just brushes the evidence aside

Comment on David Cameron suggests we would support Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Rafah by Gnu

Gnu — Mon, 13 May 2024 11:23:24 +0000

FWIW, the US “pause” on artillery shells to Israel were not due to any moral qualms, Biden has no morality. It was purely because the US *has no shells to send*. They are empty. US forces in America itself are using emergency-purchased Korean shells for training.

As for Cameron, he is a sociopath, as amoral as Biden.

The “Butcher of Libya” has no limits on civilian casualties, his London regime deliberately killed over 100,000 disabled Brits, a warm-up to the 80,000 OAPs directly murdered in private corporate care homes.

Let s not imagine these are ‘good’ people whatsoever.

The only people they care about are the wealthy, banksters, and psychopaths like themselves.

It’s an utterly depressing prospect.
How different from the energy and enthusiasm of Corbyn years. Yes, I know, that’s in the past, but it is undeniable as to its enthusiasm, inclusivity and message of hope.
This particular incarnation of the labour party is a tragic travesty of the Labour Party of the mid 20th century. Totally opposite, in fact. Indistinguishable from the Tories. And
yes, we do need the Tories out. But not to exchange for an even worse, if that’s possible, (and why wouldn’t it be)? further right -wing bunch of authoritarian establishment politicians masquerading under the Labour banner. I despair. And I don’t see how I can vote for them .

Look there is nothing wrong in controlling migration, humanely, and without malice if the public decides on it.
Immigration is NOT only a “UK thing”. Exceptional navel-gazers dont’ know….there’s immigration EVERYWHERE on the planet. However, the Anglo reich is unique. It uses “the left” to anchor it’s fascist deep state. So, in the US you have the DNC in bed with the Azov battalion and Netanyahu. If “the left” is running fascist wars, what does that leave the right to do? They are free to fly their “freak flag”. This is the Anglo reich’s trick. We the people have NO CHOICE.
