"'Nuisance' council tenants 'should live in tents' says Ashfield Tory candidate"
"...certain "nuisance tenants" on the Carsic estate were "making people's lives a complete misery".He then said: "These people, who have to live somewhere, let's have them in a tent, in the middle of a field.
"Six o'clock every morning, let's have them up. Let's have them in the field, picking potatoes or any other seasonal vegetables, back in the tent, cold shower, lights out, six o'clock, same again the next day."

He's later investigated by the Conservative party for Anti-Semitism

And most recently, the foodbank statement.
What a guy!

Glad to read this news about Jack Monroe sueing. Perhaps it will teach him to stop lashing out at everyone who doesn't agree with him though I somehow doubt that.

I’ve been following her for a long time and she’s genuine and bases her politics on real life experience, also lived on the breadline herself as a single parent in Kent on benefits. A lot of her recipes are based on canned and frozen food and are damn tasty, reflecting the reality that ‘fresh’ food isn’t always necessary to make most recipes. It’s a central truth that more knowledge about cooking and being frugal is necessary, but this Tory twists that and makes it into a dividing line between the deserving and undeserving poor. Disgusting really.Quote:

This is what that odious tory Lee Anderson wants. 30p meals are basically gruel, and he wants you to perform tasks to get that gruel. That is pretty much a workhouse. To go along with the workhouses the tories would also re-introduce debtors prison, where you get sent to work off your debt at slave labour rates whilst they charge you for the 'free' accommodation they offer and gruel at £1 a plate, because you know, they need to make a profit on the food they provide you. But don't worry they won't introduce debtors prison until the NHS is totally privatised and people already on their knees will need to face medical debt too.Quote:

I'd say the solution to rid ourselves of people like Anderson is to vote for independence and free our country from these selfish morons in Westminster.
Scotland would be a much better and fairer place without these type of ramblings from Westminster and also from the unelected friends of Tories who sit in the House of Lords.

Andrew Rosindell MP has done some very interesting work for the all party ‘flags and heraldry’ committee. Amazing what they get up to at the HoC.
It's almost like S1 of Anatomy of a Scandal was a documentary.
We have somehow managed to sleepwalk into a situation where the very worst people in society have an iron grip on power.
Sociopaths, misogynists, racists, rapists, xenophobes, narcissists and psychopaths.
For years I honestly thought the country would come to it's collective senses but I'm no longer convinced. If there was an election tomorrow this shower would probably win again.
In the absence of any proper political opposition, rent strikes being discussed online. Organised financial disobedience might be the only way to get this Govt to act.Quote:

The issue Netflix currently have is folk sharing the same account login/password.
Pretty sure the T&C’s say that you all have to reside at same address? My wife’s mum can log in to ours although she never does. Lots of people do it and more power to them but for a govt minister in charge of that very industry to admit it?Quote:

I have a suspicion that starmer saying he will resign if fined may have influenced the police response to not giving Johnson any further fines. Let's face it, if others at the BYOB garden party were fined then so should he and his wife.
