Looks like Labour have fucked the stock market again. They simply can't be trusted.

 

And this after they sold off national assets grossly under value the other week. I really wish someone else would come along and take charge of matters. :no

This will make my job a nightmare btw. The amount of folks scrambling to get a MH diagnosis for ESA is scary

 

Tell them to forget it, the mentallers are going to work cos it's therapeutic:

 

Mr Duncan Smith is adamant that people who are genuinely too ill to work will still be protected by the welfare state, and he will stress that for many people particularly those with mental issues being in work acts as an effective therapy.

There are an awful lot of lazy cunts claiming ESA/DLA who should be working. But the few genuine cases wouldn't last 2 minutes holding down a proper job. It doesn't seem as though there's any work going into distinguishing the 2 groups though

It's an example of policy being changed to fit public stupidity. When the Tories originally encouraged millions to move from the normal dole to any form of sickness/disability it was because the jobless total was the bottom line and any way to reduce that was a priority. Now thirty years on the figure isn't that important but the perceived fiddling is. A legacy of their own making and incidentally another narrative NL have allowed to be blamed on them with little or no argument.

Reading Owen Jones 'The Establishment' atm. He nails it about the right wing government and their vested interest in keeping the poor poor. Makes me want Corbyn in opposition to them that much more

How fucking angry does that book make you btw? :lol: You can feel your blood pressure rising with every page turn.

ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2015 EUROPE From JOHN CLEESE

 

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

 

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

 

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.

 

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

 

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

 

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels ..

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

 

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

 

Regards, John Cleese , British writer, actor and tall person

 

And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.
