Remploy

I cannot be bothered to go through all this again, but it harder to find a difference these days between the three parties at the top, Liberals are now back to the Whigs, Tories are the Tories, and labour is trying to get in-between the lot. The one thing we do not have is a socialist workers party any more, working class is now hard working people, and the middle class are the new socialist according to Miliband. I fought like hell to keep our Remploy factories open, in the end Labour phoned me up to say it would be best if I left the party, which I did. But in the end what chance of these people now working in Remploy have of finding work, it depends on your disability I will speak in all honesty now, if you have a degree, have a limp or your toe nails is broken you may well find a job, if you have a funny face, you have a problem talking you have disability, then sadly no chance at all, so what does this mean, well it means every one of these people being laid off, yet being told they are able to work, so they will sign on to JSA, but of course to get JSA you cannot have a disability. It's sad but this is the new labour new socialism the new Tory-ism. Not a single worker for the two factories that closed by me eight years ago have found a job, even with the three million Labour gave to the council, what did the council do with it , obviously they did not use it to help the disabled people. We are back in the Victorian period in which we will see disabled people begging

Galloway

So Galloway shows labour how to do politics, labour blames everyone and everything except they are out of touch, We hear people say Tom Watson organised nothing and walked away, I suspect labour were so sure of winning they did not see this happening.

Then you have the argument that Galloway is now a Muslim, but he,s a Catholic but had strong feeling against the war, out comes the critic he went to to Saddam he was mates with a dictator, unlike Blair then.

In the end I suspect Galloway spoke about the wars, about how people in Bradford got nothing from a labour party which does seem out of touch with people worries.

Looking at labour Wales and labour England and labour Scotland and you see labour is struggling, in Wales it has a minority Government, in Scotland it's been wiped out I suspect mainly because it was seen as new labour when it wanted old labour, and you have the English a mini Thatcherite party which offered tip bits.


I do not know the out come of the Council elections because I would vote labour since my independant

family

This year and last has been a nightmare, my Cousin 40 dies in her sleep, she had high blood pressure and she was over weight, goes to bed fails to wake up, my Uncle who was seventy eight tells me a year ago he has cancer, tells me does not bother telling his family, does not go to the doctor, but he was right he had cancer, dies going to the toilet. This week the youngest of my mothers sisters who has been fighting cancer for years, she has so much pain and is struggling to cope said she did not feel well, and passed away, she died thankfully in her sleep, it has knocked the stuffing out of me, but all of my family except myself smoked heavy, well they were all born and lived through the war years and smoking was seen as being social, so many have died way to early but all had so much life taken away with years of pain, then I go out and my neighbour is sitting out side the house, child on her lap chain smoking, to me it's like a loaded gun to your head, but she will say my mother lived until she was seventy, seventy well that's ok then. MY wife's sister in law who has Lupus, and cancer, she has fought it well has just gone into remission, has been informed she needs to go through Labours new medical, she lost all her finger tips to the chemo they actually burned off, she lost as everyone does all her hair, she weights about eight stone well under weight, she cannot walk, she is really struggling, to be told OK your now ready for your medical. That has to be pretty shocking labour says this is down to the Tories, of course it's not it's down to labour they put in welfare reforms allowing the Tories an open door. You had Brown the saviour of the world who stated that Disability Living Allowance was a wasted benefit, you then had the Tories say OK new medical much harder to get we need to save money and we will call it PIPs pips for god sake why not TIPs. I have to say between labour and the Tories these days, both state they are seeking to help the middle class with labour stupid arguments about the squeezed middle, then what is it like to be the working class, well according to labour now we have the Min wage we are all class less and now middle class ballocks . The big problem for Labour are simple it has a leader in Miliband who would like us to think he is a basic working class lad worked his way up, but he's not, the biggest laugh was when he accused the Tories of being rich, who the hell does he think he and most of his front bench are then. Labour will lose the next election and I really think the turn out will be low and that labour and the Tories will fight over the middle class, who I suspect will vote for the Tories, after all labour are not that brilliant with banking, bonus payments, welfare, NHS. I think in the end politics is in the gutter, expenses, lies, wars, then having basically nothing to say, the statement new labour is dead was pure spin. We really do need to know which way labour is going, Miliband will tell you he is safe in the middle not to the left not to the right, well mate watch out for that Tory bus, it's coming right down the middle.

The Tories are at it and labour are angry

labour are angry the Tories are seeking donations, short memories these Politicians £200,000 would buy you not only a meeting but a Lordship with labour.

Loans which were not loans and bribes which were not bribes

Employment for the disabled

A4e is in a mess, but it's not the first time these type of employment charities, groups have been talked about.

I once had a letter from a welsh employment company from Dublin, I know why Dublin, it stated if I did not go to an employment meeting at once my benefit would stop.

I knew that it was voluntary at the time so wrote to my MP who stated she would look into it, came back with a reply she had a number of these emails and letters but did not know anything about the company. Turned out once you went down you were told to sign up with the company and they would get the fee, which was £1600 so the more people it could pull in the more money it would make.

I signed for Remploy on a Monday to be told Tuesday the company had pulled out of the area, oh I could still see them only had to travel.

The same thing when my job centre stated ok go and sign with the Shaw Trust they are local, they left the area saying firms were not interested in helping them, so that's two firms I had signed up for each I suspect would have had the £1600 but what help did I get nothing.

OK A4e is the new type of employment agency which is paid for getting people into jobs the longer you work the more they get, but I was told these firms were then giving out sub contracts to smaller local charities to do the tasks.

We deserve more but the fact is after eight years of saying blow the so called back to work Mafia, I went out as I did before I was disabled and looked for my own jobs.

I could not get through the front doors of many, Asda told me they would only employ people who had been to the job centre because the Job centre would screen people for them, Tesco stated if your disabled then you had to prove you were able to do the same jobs as a non disabled, I said but I would have difficulty with that being disabled he just smiled and shut the door.

Now that the jobs we would have been offered are drying up, we are hearing benefits and benefit payments in the future coming from India, two big computer systems to be set up by the Government will be done in India, with the DWP paying out a Billion in contracts, unless I piss off to India to work that's more jobs lost.


Looks like the UK is for sale.

Labourlist.

Labourlist is of course grass roots labour, which makes me smile it's about as grass roots as the Tory sites, it's not to sure yet whether it's New labour Newer labour. banned again.

It has this problem the leader who is a rich bloke who does not like the disabled much, when he see any of us he uses his eyes to decide whether we can work, he's a weak leader, the weakest I've seen for a long time.

He's not to sure what the public want, so he waits to see a reaction, when the NHS reforms came out, he waited and waited and waited and the Tories got on with getting it through the Lords, then one day he woke up and said hello we need to fight for the NHS, to bloody late.

He's the type of bloke you would see on TV and ignore him because he's boring, and do not get me wrong his brother looks acts and sounds like his brother, how these people got into labour of course was through Dear old Tony effort to get people of his ilk to back him.


The Tories are open to attack but labour cannot do it in case the Tories mentions the deficit and the debt, but for god sake we need somebody to say look yes we are again in debt, but we can live within it.

At this time labours not got a single thing I would agree with, we are hearing Prescott saying more about private police, because Miliband is waiting to see what the public think, he cannot come out and say I me Ed Miliband do not like this, in case the public do.

he's a follower not a elader, it's as simple as that.

Labour party the coming of the ways

We are seeing the labour party fight to see who will run it, Ed Miliband is not the best leader I've seen or the worse for that, but my god he is not the leader to take the party into the next election. We are seeing New labour get annoyed at his weakness yet are not helping him but have decided to help him out by removing him.

We will see that great old fart Clark tell us all he would have won the last election if he was leader, bit difficult if your own people vote you out as an MP mind you.

We have seen David Miliband make his move now and he's waiting to see who will come with him. we are hearing that Blair has been in talks with the New batch of Labour MP's in secret of course about his third way and his place history.

But Labour has a problem it's not Labour, it's not New labour or so we are told so what the hell is it.

have to wait and see i suspect
