THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO

Institution Of The British Juvenile Offenders

For some of you that have seen the film ‘Scum’, which was an unyielding account of life in a British juvenile offenders institution in the 1970s, the BBC banned this years ago for being too graphic, and yet organisations cloaked people like Jimmy Saville for decades.

This movie brings back memories for some, recollections that they might want to forget. And some didn’t get put in these places for doing wrong, sometimes maturer children would get separated from their families home because parents couldn’t get along.

Some were put in institutions for delinquent boys for years and were reminded every day that they were no good. And imagine being sent to a juvenile facility because you weren’t attending school, imagine having a learning disability and being so ashamed you left school, and for that punishment, the government put you in an institution.

Those kids came out different people, and rarely talked about it, then years later on the stories came out in the media about the abuse at those facilities, horrific stories, and a number of those institutions had bad people looking after those kids.

They also used to put people in those places because they might have run away from home because there was an abusive father in the house, yet the kid was put down as a tearaway. Maybe the system didn’t know any better, either that or they were very sick themselves.

Mind you, the schools back then and before had some right tough nuts and the teachers were pretty much like the wardens in prisons.

But have teachers been too soft since it’s been against the law to slap a child, and now teachers can be arrested for dishing out such discipline, even though some teachers only had that job because they enjoyed being cruel to kids, and many went the extra mile, going too far because they got a thrill out of being cruel?

School, of course, could be harsh with kids bullying and picking on each other, but it’s not any different today, there’s still bullying that goes on, only now, instead of fists, its knives and anything they can find, which usually ends up in deaths, and no one can ever forget that brand of cruelty, which could scar you for life and then makes you realise that it’s a harsh world we live in.

Plus being bullied from a young age could cause permanent mental health difficulties and distrust of people, and countless parents would rather not put their kids through this cruelty in the school system.

After all, who enjoyed a grown man caning your backside when you were a kid? It’s a tad pervy don’t you think? And it was shocking in the 50s and 60s, and many of those cruel teachers, well, I hope they come out in a cold sweat each time there’s an allegation of historic injustice that comes to the fore.

Of course, kids could be wicked but the teachers were the biggest bullies and it was particularly unmerciful, and it was great to see this gem of a film, and maybe it should be shown in schools as a history lesson and how harsh it was because today kids live a charmed life where teachers are concerned.

Although it might not be such a good idea to show a movie where a teenage lad gets violated by 3 others. On the other hand, it might show the kids of today that life isn’t that bad in school now and that it could have been much worse.

And that at some secondary schools there were a few damn cruel teachers and the headmaster and deputy headmaster was so ruthless, sadistic and sarcastic that when he whipped the pupil’s butts they would urinate in embarrassment, and that was for just making a sound in class while the teacher was talking.

Mind you, if any teacher did that to a student these days, the pupil would have beaten them to a pulp.

No wonder these lads came out bigger and worse and also angrier in the real world. Although some of those lads that went to places like Borstal, some did get decent trades in there and did go onto live normal lives, but sadly many didn’t and finished back in the system again and again.

Some of those lads that went down the stupid route and finished up in institutions, some changed their path and ended up on the straight and narrow, perhaps they should bring back National Service? But that’s still no justification for brutality.

Although this snowflake society seems to have ruined people, and maybe these places gave character building? Because the youths of today have got worse since the closing of these institutions, and these offenders are worse now than ever before and the murder rate amongst youths has grown as well as immoral sex and drug behaviour, and perhaps we’re simply mollycoddling our children.

But numerous kids killed themselves in these institutions. My father was in one when he was younger. His father had sent him there for stealing a little bit of money out of his pocket.

I remember my father telling me about it. He told me that a kid in there couldn’t hack it and slit his wrists and my dad attempted to stop the blood by ripping up a bedsheet to make it into a tourniquet. The kid lived but these places were crap holes and the wardens that worked them were arseholes.

You have to take your hat off to these people that done there time in these institutions because the kids of today just don’t listen, and not only don’t they have respect for the world around them, but they don’t have any respect for their parents either and these little gangsters going around shanking and bashing people in their gangs have no concept of how easy they’ve got it these days.

Now instead of the adults treating these kids like animals, it’s the kids treating the adults like animals like praying mantis.

Institutions like this, you learnt a lot and you learnt how to survive because you had no other option. And these wardens were tormentors who relished beating the kids, they got a thrill out of it, and they just tyrannised these kids until they’d had enough.

But these kids of today are out there, with kids of their own, pandering to a life of weakness, learning nothing of respect, but in these institutions you had to learn respect, you had to learn to be clean and tidy and to respect your elders, and it was arduous.

Now the system has softened up and inmates take more liberties, and these institutions for young kids back then, well I bet they wish the system was as soft then as it is now.

The wardens then used to tell you to stand to attention, then twist your nipples between their finger and thumb and God help you if you lifted your hand to stop the warden doing what the perverted rat wanted to do.

They would get you in a wristlock, make you stand on tiptoes, then boot your feet from under you and you would land on the back of your spine and couldn’t walk properly.

Other lads were so severely beaten that some ended up in the infirmary, and then the wardens would put them on light duties for the rest of their stay for keeping their mouth shut.

Of course, you had sex perverts at these places and if you were a big kid they wouldn’t pick on you, they just picked on the frightened small quiet boys, no wonder the suicide rate was somewhat high.

There was square bashing in the rain, running barefoot on the exercise field, shovelling coal from one side of the parade ground and then when they went to tell the officer that they’d moved it, he would tell you to move it back to where you’d moved it from.

It was good training if you wanted to go into the Army, but a complete negative waste of time otherwise, and it was an extremely sad experience for those young men to have to endure and perhaps the authorities should have been held accountable for their immoral actions.

Riots in these institutions were settled in one of two ways, either someone from the Home Office attended the institution in question to discuss the events with the governor and a representative inmate to hopefully work out a resolution or the institution’s governor could just call in the Riot Squad or the Army.

The Riot Squad or Army suppressed the uprising and the majority of inmates were locked up in their cells or dormitories, and those who were seen to be the instigators or troublemakers, they were dragged off by the wardens for a good kicking, somewhere out of sight before being tossed into solitary.

Of course, there were some truly committed people out there, but when you watch the film it does strike a nerve because some Private schools were like this as well, well, let’s say, they weren’t much better than these institutions.

The purpose of the cane was to beat you until you would vomit, and if you went whining to your parents, the punishment was even harder, and to think these parents spent thousands to send their children to private school.

Some of these kids were targetted by violent teachers, wardens, well, almost anyone with some authority. The punishment was harsh and no wonder some of these kids left school early to get away, and the psychiatric doctors and nurses were the most sadistic of all.

The wardens were a shower of rats who would set you up and give you a thrashing as quickly as taking a breath, and one could not forget these kids were severely spanked by a teacher simply because a kid said they didn’t understand.

Pupils are encouraged to speak up now if they’re not sure what’s being taught to them, but back then, you got spanked, and all that taught was that you would get punished if you weren’t sure on what was being taught.

Nowadays kids are being encouraged to talk up if in doubt, but being beaten for not understanding back then affected a kids development in understanding knowledge, and it’s not until they became adults, they found that the way that they were taught was totally and utterly wrong, and I wonder if Jimmy Saville had a few keys for places like that.

This might be one of the most honest and saddest movies you’ll ever see. There were a lot of people that didn’t like watching it, but I believe that was the intention so that it would frighten the crap out of you, and I don’t suppose we’ll ever see another film made like this again.

These were the good old days when punishment meant punishment, those days have well and truly gone, it’s all spice heads now and complete chaos, and thank God they outlawed all those places that were run by psychopaths and what a nightmarish bunch of heels they were.

It was extreme violence from the start because back in the day, that’s how they taught the meaning of respect. After all, it was thought that the more you beat the kids, the taller they stood, and how the world has changed.

And these institutions were run pretty much on military lines and indeed some schools at that time used the same policies but it appears that nobody has found the right way to maintain discipline, educate or support these people that are put away by society.

Those wardens needed stringing up because most were nefarious and corrupt and worse than most of the cons and inmates and this film demonstrates quite clearly the contempt the establishment had for its people here in the United Kingdom.

And there were schools back in the day that had teachers that were unmerciful and who thought they were above their stations and got off from being sadistic and who were obvious losers in real life, hence the bullying of kids.

Can you imagine today’s generation in these institutions?

Detention Centres back in the day was what succeeded borstal and that was also violent and your six sense was the main one that you used as would be gangsters in small clicks slashed your face off just to earn a rep and some of the wardens were animals, constantly slapping the crap out of you and they had you marching around everywhere like you were in the army.

Bed block, kit and room inspection every morning and if you never had a job you couldn’t just lie on your bed during the day and in some places, smoking was banned but the offenders would always get it from other cons on another wing at a cost.

The only upside was the food wasn’t that bad and they came out much fitter than when they went in and unquestionably wiser, although I’m sure many came out with emotional and anger issues that developed because of the torture they suffered.

Power corrupts and these places were run on minimum salary, unschooled, unchecked thugs who enjoyed abusing kids and it was an out of control spiral of violence and it was designed to teach these kids a lesson.

There were bullies and kids were battered stupid and they had to fight back and most went on to commit further crimes because it was survival of the fittest and total insanity, and it was there to put the fear of God into these kids, but then the world is run on fear.

Boris, Shaken But Not Stirred

Boris Johnson has no idea what to do when it comes to the Coronavirus and he’s scratching his head and his butt, not knowing what to do, and he unquestionably hasn’t shaken any hand of someone with Coronavirus, even though he kind of made out that he did.

If he’s to keep this virus from spreading any further, then he should be handing out masks to everyone in the United Kingdom free of charge and he should be opening up abandoned aircraft hangers that are no longer in use and making them into temporary infirmaries.

There are countless military doctors and nurses on the ground that could be utilised, and just because the milder weather will be on its way shortly does not guarantee that the Coronavirus will wither away.

Masks are the way to go and the government needs to be giving them out, and even though this is a new illness, it’s not known precisely how Coronavirus spreads from person to person. Still, similar viruses are spread in cough droplets.

It’s extremely doubtful it can be spread through things like packages or food but just in case, gloves should be handed out as well free of charge.

It’s going to cost the government millions of pounds but does that matter when people are dying?

The people in this country have to do their bit by scrubbing their hands with soap and water regularly.

Always wash your hands when you get home or into work, and use sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.

You would have noticed that people have been bulk buying sanitizer. The government should be giving this out free as well, as well as tissues, and if people have to stay indoors because they’re sick, the government should make sure that they’re guaranteed sick pay.

Sadly, no one knows for sure whether or not the more temperate weather will curb the Coronavirus.

Viruses that cause influenza or milder Coronavirus, and there are seven in total that affects humans, some much less concerning than others which usually wane in warmer months, although people spend less time inside in the warmer weather, which means that viruses could circulate more easily.

However, because SARS-CoV-2 is so new, there’s no way to say for sure whether the virus will undergo the same seasonality as other viruses.

There’s one main difference between the novel Coronavirus and the flu, immunity. Because many of us have built up an immunity to the flu, this isn’t the situation with this new illness.

And we won’t be off the hook just because we’re getting to springtime and the warmer weather, although I’m sure that spring will be greatly embraced this year, we unquestionably shouldn’t be letting our guard down just because it will be warming up outside.

And everyone should still follow the preventative steps suggested.

There’s another potential way Coronavirus can spread between people and that’s by faecal transmission, and according to recent research from the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC), those with confirmed cases of the novel Coronavirus have live virus in stool specimens, suggesting there’s a possible faecal-oral route for the virus, as well.

Unfortunately, the only way to know if someone has COVID-19 is to test them, that’s because the manifestations of the illness look remarkably similar to that of the common cold or flu with a cough, fever and body aches.

And it’s important to know that not everyone who’s infected with Coronavirus exhibits symptoms, which suggests that they’re asymptomatic carriers who carry it around with them, spreading it to other people, but never falling ill themselves.

While scientists are currently working on a Coronavirus vaccine, it probably won’t be available in time to fight the current outbreak because there has to be an entire vaccine process, from early development through to human testing, which takes time and costs lots of money.

Fortunately, when coming up with a vaccine for the current Coronavirus, researchers may uncover clues that may help treat or even prevent future outbreaks, but of course, by that time there will be another kind of virus that has mutated, of which they won’t have a vaccine.

Bedroom Tax Domestic Violence Discrimination Ruling Is Final

The Department for Work and Pensions attempted to overthrow a decision that the hated Bedroom Tax prejudges against sufferers of domestic brutality, which was rejected, and judges at the European Court of Human Rights ordered in October that the benefit cut, discriminated against a domestic violence victim who was forced to pay additional money for her panic room.

Following a six-year legal battle, the UK government was ordered to pay the woman, who suffered rape and assault, 10,000 Euros (£8,600) for the damage she sustained, but lawyers for the Department for Work and Pensions demanded the matter be heard in the court’s Grand Chamber, attempting to overthrow the judgment, but the request was denied, meaning the ruling stands and is irrevocable.

The victim’s legal team are now asking for the government to make adjustments to the law immediately, and they say that around 300 more victims of domestic violence are in the same position and that a woman, related to as ‘A’, is a victim of rape, assault and harassment at the hands of an ex-partner.

The DWP cut her housing benefit by 14 per cent for under occupation of her social housing and the department determined she and her 11-year-old son only required two bedrooms, despite a third bedroom in the home being specially modified by police to include a panic room as part of a sanctuary scheme.

An investigation by the legal team representing ‘A’ found almost 1 in 20 households using the Sanctuary Scheme for people at risk of severe domestic violence have been hit by the bedroom tax, amounting to 281 homes across the country and that the vast preponderance of people in the Sanctuary Scheme are women, yet a DWP spokesperson stated that they were carefully considering the court’s ruling.

This woman, whose life is in danger, has suffered great distress as a result of the bedroom tax and the uncertainty about this case.

She’s a vulnerable single parent who’s been a victim of rape and assault and lives in a property which has been specially adapted by the police, at great cost, to protect her and her child and she’s had to fight the UK Government for seven years to defend her right to be protected in her own home.

And she’s pleased that following such a lengthy battle, the European Court of Human Rights has recognised the impact that the bedroom tax is having on her and others like her.

We now call on the UK Government to take speedy action and to modify the rules to exempt from the bedroom tax the small but extremely vulnerable group of women and children who need the safety of a sanctuary scheme whilst they try to reassemble their lives after surviving domestic violence.

And the Domestic Abuse Bill, currently making its way through Parliament, is the obvious route to right this injustice and protect ‘A’ and others in Sanctuary Scheme homes.

Remember Iain Duncan Smith, he laughed at the terror he was causing a rape victim by using the Bedroom tax to make it too costly for her to keep a panic room because he thrived on browbeating others.

And he used the Department for Work and Pensions to convince a court that she had to pay the Bedroom Tax on a panic room installed in her home to stop further attacks against her.

As a result of the ruling, she was evicted from her home and Iain Duncan Smith laughed with delight when he learned of the news, and the fact that Iain Duncan Smith appealed against the decision simply proves what a cruel, ruthless and wicked individual he is.

Only Iain Duncan Smith and the fellow Nazi mutts would laugh at the plight of a rape victim, and this was another disgusting justification for his entertainment and the brutal, psychopathic policies of the government over the recent years were well represented in Iain Duncan Smith.

Hatred engenders hatred, it further feeds violence, and what a despicable person he is, his family must be so proud of him and I’m amazed that given his rather feeble intelligence he managed to become a government minister in the first place.

Poverty Not Only Inflicts Suffering

1200px-Tony_Blair_2010_(cropped).jpg

Millions of children are living in poverty in the United Kingdom and this marks the 20th anniversary of Labour’s promise to eradicate child hunger.

Much progress was made under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown but that good work was destroyed by the Conservatives, and there have been debates about how you measure child hunger, but the metric used by most charities shows 4.1 million children are living below the breadline.

And the number is estimated to soar to as high as 5.2 million within the next three years as Tory welfare cuts continue to bite, and the two-child benefit cap alone could force another 300,000 children into poverty by 2023-24.

The Conservatives have long contended that work is the best route out of deprivation. The dilemma is that it’s not proving to be the case, and it’s estimated that 70 per cent of children found to be in poverty are in working homes.

And behind every statistic is a story of a child going hungry at school or living in crowded and inadequate accommodation or unable to keep warm because there’s no money for a winter coat.

The most disheartening aspect is not just that the most disadvantaged have paid the highest price for a decade of austerity but that in doing so the government have failed a generation of children who have so much to contribute.

Because if you’re going hungry or continually being moved from one temporary accommodation to another, then it affects the child’s education, and if that child is sharing a cramped room with their siblings, then it’s more difficult for them to do their homework.

Impoverished families can’t afford things which others take for granted such as music lessons or school excursions that can improve a child’s development, and talent and potential are going untapped because of want and deprivation.

And if our Government is serious about levelling up, it could start with levelling up the incomes of the most affected in this country in the impending Budget, and the Government should all be behind eradicating poverty – the trouble is, Boris Johnson always appears to be absent while blaming everyone else.

There are numerous people out there that suffer from extreme poverty, not the nonsense Ipad poverty people and the government attempt to stuff down our gullets, but the poverty of yesteryear. However, we do have a sense of responsibility to get ourselves off the plantation.

Bullying Cover-Up Fury

GettyImages_1157399189.0.jpg

Boris Johnson, was the subject of accusation for the covering up of bullies after he insisted that he was sticking by Priti Patel following the numerous allegations against the Home Secretary and Jeremy Corbyn called Boris Johnson a part-time Prime Minister in a feisty exchange.

The Prime Minister said an investigation was taking place into the conduct of the Home Secretary, but supported Priti Patel and maintained she was keeping the country safe.

He pointed to the latest barge of allegations facing Priti Patel throughout her time as International Development Secretary, suggesting that it indicted a shock and unacceptable pattern of behaviour across three government departments.

Priti Patel is facing allegations from three government departments with a senior official at the Department for International Development (DfID) reporting a tsunami of allegations of mistreatment by officials in her private office when she was secretary of state.

A former aide at the Department for Work and Pensions had also reported having received a £25,000 payout from the Government after alleging she was browbeaten by Priti Patel when she was employment minister.

Jeremy Corbyn described the reported payoffs as taxpayers money being spaffed up the wall in reference to the language Boris Johnson used to refer to money spent investigating historic child sexual allegations, and he asked whether the Prime Minister knew of the history of allegations when he appointed Priti Patel as Home Secretary.

The leader of the Opposition called on Boris Johnson to deliver the conclusions of the inquiry into the Home Secretary’s behaviour, and Jeremy Corbyn insisted that a government can’t be judge and jury over its own contact and that there has to be an objective element to that investigation.

Overnight further allegations have surfaced that the Home Secretary frequently raided and humiliated her private secretary while she ran the department for international development.

If this is true, this implies a shocking and unacceptable pattern of behaviour across three government departments, and was the Prime Minister conscious of these allegations, and if he was, why did he appoint Priti Patel?

Yet the Prime Minister doubled down on his support for Priti Patel, telling MPs that the Home Secretary was doing a wonderful job and that he had every faith in her, but Jeremy Corbyn was raging and stated that we have a part-time Prime Minister who hardly turns up but is determined to cover up for bullies in his government.

And in response to a later question from Labour’s Matt Pennycook about whether Priti Patel would be fired or expected to quit if the inquiry finds she’s breached the ministerial code, Boris Johnson stated that he was sticking by her.

The recent allegations about Priti Patel follow the departure of the top official at the Home Office, Sir Philip Rutnam, who quit, accusing her of bullying underlings, but a spokesperson for Priti Patel said the Home Secretary categorically refutes all of these allegations.

And it was said by a Tory source that there had been a collective effort by sections of the Civil Service to undermine Priti Patel and that dark forces were seeking to influence a Cabinet Office inquiry into her behaviour.

The latest allegations relate to the period around 2017 when Priti Patel was dismissed by Theresa May as international development secretary over unofficial meetings with the Israeli government.

Following her removal, a senior figure in DfID was said to have approached staff in her private offices about allegations that they’d heard of bullying, and the senior person was said to have been informed of multiple allegations of staff being humiliated and coming under huge pressure in emails, comparable to the allegations made about Priti Patel’s behaviour at the Home Office.

The senior person then went to see another senior figure in DfID and asked them to contact the then cabinet secretary, the late Sir Jeremy Heywood, so that her conduct record was in the system if she ever returned to government.

And even though the person making the allegations hasn’t been identified, they were said to be prepared to give testimony to the Cabinet Office probe, currently underway into allegations that Priti Patel broke the ministerial code.

The person concerned was further said to be ready to give evidence in support of Sir Philip, who’s claiming constructive dismissal if his case goes to an industrial tribunal, and a Tory source said that what they were witnessing was a concerted attempt by certain sections of the Civil Service to undermine a Home Secretary seeking to deliver what people want on crime and immigration.

Priti Patel expressed her regret at the decision of Sir Philip to resign and urged staff in the Home Office to come together as one team, and in a joint email to staff, written with Sir Philip’s interim replacement Shona Dunn, she insisted they cared about the wellbeing of all employees.

And they displayed their appreciation to the staff for their ongoing hard work and dedication to deliver the Government’s priorities and said that they both genuinely appreciated the work that every person in the department was doing and that they cared about the well-being of all their staff.

They further said that they understood the significance of honesty, confidentiality and respect in building trust and confidence between ministers and civil servants.

What is it that they say? Birds of a feather stick together and all that because all Tories are made that way and more, as they gather together like flies around poop.

It’s a pity though because she does look quite lovely and it seems that these fiery women that end up in the Tory party are born wicked or do they simply become that way when they enter the Tory party and this misuse of power goes to their head.

And it appears that Priti Patel and Boris Johnson have got a lot in common, they have both been dismissed for lying. And Boris Johnson said that she was doing a fabulous job – Hitler also once said the same about his henchmen and women.

And as for Jeremy Corbyn, he does, I must admit look a little sad at times, and some might agree with his politics, but there’s no disputing his passion to help others, but his career appears to be kind of fizzling out.

But to be honest, it’s better that his political career is fizzling out than crashing and burning, which I no doubt, that in the end, Boris Johnson will befall.

Boris Johnson can stick by Priti Patel, but then when he needs to fire her, should he go as well? And I’m sure many people can’t wait to see them both go, along with their overbearing, lying, bullying, ingratiating ways.

And I wonder if Boris Johnson and his buddies practice that Priti Patel smirk at the beginning of every meeting and he won’t discard her because then it might look bad for him. After all, he has no choice, does he? He formed a Cabinet in his image, so now he can hardly question his judgement, in fact, he probably never does.

And it might occur to even a random outsider that he knew what she was doing there in Israel, hence her promotion to one of the highest offices in the land and hence his unequivocal support for her, and an observer might quickly assume that she’s got the goods on him and he can’t dismiss her.

And we should for one second not think that there’s prejudice or antisemitism anywhere within Parliament, with scores of MPs that have been excluded. And in all honesty, these are only allegations against Priti Patel until proven otherwise in court, and note that Boris Johnson hasn’t endeavoured to refute them.

On the other hand, Jeremy Corbyn has been described as an antisemite, based on unproven allegations, and even if Priti Patel falls on her sword, there will be another one along in less than five minutes.

However, it’s all allegations, someone claiming or stating that someone has done something illegal or improper and typically one made without evidence, and which simply demonstrates we’re a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.

But let’s face it, what has she done? Has she reinstated the 20,000 police officers that the Tories got rid of?

Has she brought in a workable immigration policy? Has she tackled the crisis in our prisons, probation services or border force?

Currently, she’s done nothing important, apart from being attacked for bullying, but I suspect the facts will come out when it goes to a tribunal, and if the enquiry finds her guilty, then she must go, but until then she should be deemed innocuous and should be permitted to get on with her work.

Although, if she was in the police force or a doctor et cetera and was under investigation, she would have been suspended until the enquiry was concluded. So, we could say that this a typical overbearing Tory government turning a blind eye, but still she’s no different to anyone else and should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Coronavirus: Weak Zero-Hour Workers Are Led Into Choosing Between Isolation And Food

MPs are demanding an emergency law to stop thousands of zero-hour and part-time workers being left poverty-stricken by Coronavirus as Unions and Labour sounded the alarm over the government’s sick pay laws amid concerns huge numbers of people in the United Kingdom may need to self isolate as a precaution.

Statutory Sick Pay doesn’t cover people who receive less than £118 a week and those who’ve been off ill for more than 7 days also need to present a GPs note to qualify. Nevertheless, people are being advised to avoid their GP if they have Coronavirus symptoms, to stop further spread of the virus, and self-isolation is meant to last 14 days.

And it’s been claimed the situation will leave part-time or zero-hour workers choosing between protecting their own and others health and putting food on the table, and the government have been called on to act and for private firms to do their bit to ensure workers aren’t left in the lurch.

Because there will be workers out there who will have to choose between putting food on their table and putting their health first, and the government and employers have to intervene in some way to support those workers.

Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) is paid to employees or agency workers who have been sick for at least four days in a row. They earn at least £118 a week on average and tell employers before a seven-day deadline.

People have to make an average of £118 per week to be eligible and the government should now guarantee that workers can get Statutory Sick Pay regardless of income because there are about a million workers in the United Kingdom on contracts with no guaranteed minimum hours.

0_Nigel-Nelson-interviews-Lisa-Nandy-MP-one-of-three-Labour-MPs-contesting-to-become-the-next-leader.jpg

Labour leadership hopeful Lisa Nandy called for an emergency law to extend Statutory Sick Pay, £94.25 per week to workers on all incomes from day one because the menace of Coronavirus is worrying enough without having to fret that it will leave you without money for rent and food.

Workers on insecure contracts and those with questionable employers or bogus self-employed in the gig economy are being left to fend for themselves and to make needlessly tough decisions.

Self-isolation for some means no sick pay and this is a global health emergency and we need to do everything we can to make sure it’s not also a personal or financial hardship for families in the United Kingdom.

Ms Nandy said the burden should also fall on private firms, many of which have their own sick pay schemes, and she stated that employers need to wake up to their wider obligations.

There are going to be consequences for everyone if sick people are attending work when they should be at home because bosses shouldn’t put their profit margins before public health and people need to be able to follow medical advice.

The General Trade Union (GMB) first raised the matter last week, stating that a delivery driver was recently contacted by a high-risk customer. The unidentified driver’s company told her not to come back into work, but that meant she wouldn’t have any wages until she was given the all-clear.

However, GMB stepped in and the company backed down, but sadly more and more gig economy workers are experiencing the same outcome, and the threat of Coronavirus is an enormous problem for employers and workers across the United Kingdom, and workers in the so-called gig economy, or on zero-hours contracts are being left abandoned and poverty-stricken if they have to self isolate.

Once again the bogus self-employment model is screwing over the disadvantaged, but GMB is calling on all employers, regardless of the contract to do the right thing and pay their workers if they have to take time off due to the global health emergency.

And employers have been asked to make sure they use their discretion, and respect the medical need to self-isolate when making decisions about sick pay.

Anyone not eligible to get sick pay will be entitled to claim Universal Credit and/or contributory Employment and Support Allowance, and further action will be taken if needed to protect low wage or zero-hour workers, however, there’s no confirmation on whether this will involve widening Statutory Sick Pay.

And it was said that officials are drawing up strategies to ensure that the Coronavirus doesn’t leave people in the lurch, and a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spokesperson later urged Universal Credit claimants, some of who are in low paid work, to contact their Jobcentre if they’re affected.

The spokesperson stated that their staff were ready to assist people who are affected but they were advised to contact them by telephone, or via their work coach via their online journal, to explain their situation.

But this comes after ten years of austerity and one payday away from living on the streets and an expanding crime wave in the United Kingdom – Achoo. This country is doomed and the best thing about it, most of you voted for it, and we are simply slaves under the Tory government.

And what they don’t mention is that you can get help but you’ll have to fill out multiple forms that will arrive consecutively once the previous one is returned and then they’ll have to wait 5 weeks before they’ll get any money – what should they do in the meantime? Starve to death? Because they won’t be able to go to the food bank and don’t forget you’ll have to lick the envelope before sending it!

It’s a terrible and frightful position for anyone to be in, and the point is, self-isolation won’t work if people have to go to work as they have no savings and no sick pay. However, by the time the government have worked it out, it will be too late in the prevailing circumstances.

So, it’s work or starve, doesn’t give much of a choice, plus the major outbreak of the virus could further result in panic buying, empty shelves and food riots, and only PAYE staff members will get compensated for having time off because of Coronavirus.

But the UK public on zero-hours contracts can starve and now there’s a discrimination between PAYE and zero contracts on the working class who have no choice but to take those zero-hours contracts or not work at all, and it now seems this is the way to get rid of the poor peasants and I bet numerous Tories will be overjoyed.

Booting the Tories out at the next election would be a great start, especially now it appears Brexit won’t pave the streets with gold after all.

Just a 0.16 per cent increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at best after the US Trade Deal or a 5 per cent plus decline if we lose out to the Americans. But the kamikaze Tories intend to crash us out anyhow and pick off the UK remains, and in a few years, people will look back at this, calling them the good times under the Tories.

Maybe we should just eat the rich?

Yet somehow the Tories will still blame Labour, like their incredible attitude and acknowledgement to the floods, and where’s Boris with his mop?

The UK Government Will Not Rule Out The Cut-Off Of Whole Cities

The UK government has refused to rule out cutting off whole cities if Britain enters a worst-case scenario of Coronavirus, and apparently, they won’t take anything off the table, as the global death toll nears 3,000, including one Brit on a cruise boat in Japan.

The Tory Cabinet minister, who’s setting up a war room and declaring emergency laws, has warned scientists have stated it’s certain that the virus will become endemic in society.

If that happens, in the worst-case scenario the United Kingdom may need significant actions that would have social and economic disruption, which could involve closing some schools with specific risk and pulling ex doctors out of retirement.

Football matches and shows could also be forbidden and people could be urged against using public transport.

China has isolated whole cities, and it’s likely under the circumstances that the government would try to cut off a city in this country as well, although there’s a tremendous economic and social downside to that, but the government aren’t taking anything off the table at this stage because they’ve got to make sure they’ve got all the means possible if that’s what’s needed.

And they want to reduce the social and economic disruption because at this stage we still have hope, even though the numbers elsewhere are growing fast, but we still might be able to circumvent this outcome.

There are 23 cases confirmed in the United Kingdom at the moment and right now some school should be closing, although the government are thinking about a potential prohibition on big public gatherings and they’ve not ruled them out.

Emergency powers could be used to implement quarantine if patients resist, and they now can ensure they are so that the police can assist in doing just that, and stockpiles from no-deal Brexit proposals are now being retained in case of a Coronavirus crisis in Britain.

People should ensure they catch a cough or sneeze in a tissue which is then thrown away, or in the crook of their elbow, as calls to NHS 111 have shot up by more than 50 per cent.

Nevertheless, the Health Secretary has stated that at this stage people should go about their everyday business and that over 60s don’t need to avoid public transport, despite the Director-General of the World Health Organisation advising that they should.

If you’re 60+ or have an underlying condition like cardiovascular disease, a respiratory condition or diabetes, you have a greater chance of contracting severe #COVID19.

Try to avoid congested areas or places where you might associate with people who are sick.

As for the government attempting to handle a crisis, we shouldn’t trust them as far as we can throw them, particularly Boris Johnson who thought it was more important for him to go on holiday than to deal with the crisis.

And if the truth is told, this country was too slow and something should have been put in place weeks ago and Boris Johnson has been a walking disaster.

There have been three storms in three weeks that have battered this country and a global outbreak of a virus that’s started to kill off people faster than thought, and unless we’re all sleeping under a rock, all everyone appears to care about is Boris getting his rocks off with Carrie Symonds and the news of their imminent wedding and hatchling.

And we’re being told to wash our hands, does that mean we should wash our money as well?

I also sense a hint of fear starting to appear and when I was in a shop today I saw a man with a mask on, so maybe the government are intentionally keeping us in the dark as to just how big this thing is about to become.

Ironically, handles of supermarket trollies are rarely ever cleaned and then food is touched, and they say that the virus can last well over 48 hours on surfaces, and then they’re telling us that they might shut cities down, but then they tell us it’s not that serious, what are they not telling us?

Perhaps we should be listening to the World Health Organisation than Mr Hancock and the Tories, and we should be avoiding large crowds and public transport. After all, Mr Hancock couldn’t manage a fish supper, never mind a Coronavirus outbreak because all they care about is money and not public safety, and this is almost as entertaining as ‘Hancock’s half-hour’.

Bonking Boris

_methode_sundaytimes_prod_web_bin_7246045a-1939-11ea-a9c5-93ba951187e8.jpg

It’s been announced that the UK Prime Minister is to become a father for the sixth time, and will be the first Prime Minister in almost 200 years to marry while in office.

CARRIE SYMONDS.png

Boris Johnson and PR executive Carrie Symonds, 31, his live-in lover, broke the news of their happy double, and this is what she’s always wanted, a condition of their relationship, almost and he was delighted to assist.

And the Prime Minister and Miss Symonds were extremely happy to announce their engagement and that they were expecting a baby in the early summer, and it’s understood that Carrie Symonds is six months pregnant.

The couple has now been together for about two years and got engaged at the end of last year but kept it a secret from all but their most intimate friends until now, but an excited Carrie Symonds who’s the first unmarried partner of a sitting Prime Minister happily posted an Instagram image of Boris Johnson kissing her on the cheek.

She said that she wouldn’t have normally have posted this kind of stuff on Instagram but that she wanted her friends to find out from her, even though many already knew but some of her friends didn’t, and that they got engaged at the end of last year and that they’ve got a baby hatching early in the summer and that they feel especially fortunate.

The shock news came just 11 days after Boris Johnson, 55, settled with his estranged wife Marina Wheeler, with whom he has four children, aged 20 to 26, but their divorce is yet to be settled, so pausing the date of his and Carrie Symonds marriage, but of course, they’ll want to wed quickly to avoid having an unwed mum at No 10.

And this partly illustrates why Boris Johnson has been laying low of late.

Carrie Symonds is excited but she will continue to work on her environmental projects. Boris Johnson further has a fifth child, who was born in 2009 after an entanglement with art consultant Helen Macintyre.

Former Chancellor Sajid Javid was amongst the first to congratulate Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds, tweeting that it was wonderful news. The former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson also sent the smiling couple her best wishes.

They will become the third pair in recent history to have a baby while living in Downing Street, following in the footsteps of Tony and Cherie Blair and David and Samantha Cameron.

The latest Prime Minister’s baby could have been conceived at the Queen’s Balmoral estate last autumn when Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds spent a night at the castle but returned to London the following day due to the gathering Brexit impasse.

It was later reported that the Queen was not comfortable with them staying overnight given royal etiquette normally forbids unwed couples from doing so.

Cherie Blair had also previously revealed that her and Tony’s fourth child, son Leo, was conceived at Balmoral in 1999 during the Prime Minister’s yearly appointment with the Queen.

Cherie Blair said that out of pure confusion, she’d left her contraception at home.

MARINA WHEELER.png

Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds became close when his second marriage to Marina Wheeler hit the rocks about two years ago when he was Foreign Secretary, and Carrie accompanied him to everything from private dinner dates to high-powered political gatherings, and their close association flowered into romance as they discussed their shared interests and Westminster gossip.

Friends first caught wind that he fancied Carrie Symonds, then Tory director of communications, in 2018 when they attended the party’s Black and White fundraising ball.

They barely took their eyes off each other and six days later Carrie Symonds tweeted enthusiastically about a speech Boris Johnson had made about Brexit. That evening they were spotted tucking into a Valentine’s supper in London’s Covent Garden.

The pair went to remarkable lengths to meet during and after work and Boris Johnson sent a car to pick up Carrie Symonds from a wedding held near Chevening, his country retreat in Kent.

She has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since he took over from Theresa May as Prime Minister in July, and Carrie Symonds was barely seen at Boris’s side on the General Election campaign trail late last year, although she was pictured waving with him outside No 10 following the Torie’s thumping victory.

The duo chose to live at the more spacious four-bedroom flat at No 11 Downing Street rather than the two-bedroom official residence at No 10, and where they share Jack Russell-cross rescue pup Dilyn.

Carrie Symonds had not been seen recently, giving rise to Westminster rumours that she was hiding a secret, and last week she was missing from his arm at the Black and White ball but she was with him at Chevening last weekend.

And she’s hired a personal adviser on a six-figure salary, paid for by the Conservative Party.

Sarah Vaughan-Brown, 45, former director of communications for ITN, will serve as adviser and gatekeeper to the new first lady of Downing Street.

Boris Johnson met his first wife, Allegra Mostyn-Owen, while they were students at Oxford. They married in 1987 but the union was annulled in 1993. That year he married Marina Wheeler.

The last Prime Minister to wed in office was Lord Liverpool who married Mary Chester in 1822. His first wife Louisa died aged 54 the previous year.

Boris Johnson is further thought to be the first Prime Minister to divorce in office since Augustus Fitzroy, the 3rd Duke of Grafton. An act of parliament enabled him to leave his first wife Anne in 1769. He promptly married Elizabeth Wrottesley and the pair went on to have 13 children.

In the meantime, pitches are now being made by Members of Parliament for the Prime Minister’s marriage to take place in their constituency.

Boris Johnson was questioned last year about a possible proposal and he was asked if he was going to buy Carrie a rock any time soon. The flustered Prime Minister responded that it was a pretty good question.

Now exhibiting the extent of his feelings, the Prime Minister spoke with a huge smile that he was really happy, but the first thing that crosses the mind is that when this kid is 16, he’s going to be ancient.

And it’s not so long ago since the police were summoned and he was allegedly knocking her up in a different way. Let’s hope he can handle the larger withdrawal agreement better than he handled this one.

So, there’s going to be another little Boris to add to his growing collection. Still, I guess this story has taken the attention off the Home Secretary for a bit, hasn’t it?

But how many people truly care? After all, it never seems like he cares, he’s never seen out and about with his children and the only time you might see him pushing a pram this time is if he needs some good PR.

And a sceptical person might say that the time of the release of this news was simply intended to take the heat off bully Priti Patel and vacant Boris Johnson hiding when the country is in crisis with flooding and the Coronavirus and that some media are simply doing the governments bidding by putting this in the headlines instead of something that matters to the country, well, that’s what a cynical person might say.

I wonder how much this baby and the wedding will cost the taxpayer? Or will his Russian compatriots offer to put in a bit?

Another baby on the horizon, more of Boris’s offspring plotted around the United Kingdom. Hopefully, this union works out and if not, then I hope that Boris is going to support his child because there’s nothing to be proud of getting several women pregnant and then disappearing, and he seems to have a history of that.

Carrie Symonds has done the easiest part with Boris Johnson, but the most difficult part will be hanging onto him.

And there’s been a shocking scandal on the news about single mother’s with children and how they’re now seen as the scourge of society and now we have Carrie Symonds, unmarried and pregnant! One rule for them and another for the bastardised.

Should we feel happy for Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds? Probably not! Should we be happy for the baby, well the jury is still out on that one, although we can’t condemn the child that is developing in her belly, for it has no concept into what it’s going to be born into.

No one in the real world can truly afford to have a child, but most people want a child, it’s called procreation and it’s what makes this world what it is. And whether married or not, no one truly knows if they have a rock-solid relationship or marriage or the means to raise a child because anyone can end up being out of work at any time, it’s not an exact science.

Boris Johnson has always lived a privileged life and most certainly always will and he can afford to have as many kids as he wants, whether he’s around long enough to see this one grow up is another story.

And then there’s the child that Boris Johnson seems to want to hide and who never seems to have their father around, and this is all great news for Boris Johnson, now it means he can take another mistress.

Maybe he was told to make a baby for public relation purposes, it’s been done before many times and what a fine picture it would make, the girlfriend, the baby, the dog and Boris Johnson. I bet the cat at No 10 is feeling a tad sidelined, just like his other children.

And why should the people of this country be interested when there are far more important things going on in this country? And there have been much more interesting couples at No 10, yet Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds appear to the most phoney couple going, just so that they can hide the dirt under the carpet while letting the honeymoon with the voters last a tad longer.

They say that you should lead by example and this is the example that Boris is showing the youths of today and the right way to start a family, but of course, he won’t impute himself! But look, folks, this is the modern way to start a family. Yes, impregnate as many women as you can and have loads of babies!

Two wives, one mistress, and one young lady and 6 kids. He doesn’t need to ponce off the state, he can ponce off the taxpayers. We might pay for his wages, but we don’t want to be paying for his children as well. If he wanted children, he should have been paying for them himself.

Some people might say that she’s finally trapped him but I’m sure he’ll find a way to untrap her later on. After all, he’s not a one-woman man, when he seems to spread it about like Lurpak.

At least we’ll know where all our taxes are going. Probably paying for the nanny who will undoubtedly raise the child and particularly when Carrie Symonds stated she was hatching a baby. Maybe an alien life form, reptiles, fowl or Platypuses…

And there are people out there that whine about fathers having loads of children they don’t bother about and fathering with many mothers, so why is this okay now that Boris Johnson is doing it? And are Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds going to have a private wedding or are we all going to have to pay for the security on it?

Let’s face it, he’s shafted everything he’s touched, why quit now? After all, he was still married to Marina Wheeler when he knocked up Carrie Symonds – well, here’s a man of character and integrity… Not!

And when Boris said that he was pulling out of the EU, maybe he should have used a condom – he might have got a better settlement.

DRIVEWAY ROBBERY

A strange legal loophole means anyone can now park on your drive and there’s not much you can do about it, and there have been several cases in the United Kingdom where homeowners have been stuck with a stranger’s vehicle on their driveway, only to be told neither the police nor local authorities have the power to remove it.

Because in the case of a stranger parking on your drive, a problem occurs when the boundary between criminal and civil law is clouded.

If a vehicle is parked on a public road and it’s obstructing your drive, local authorities can issue a fine, but once the vehicle moves onto your driveway, it’s technically on private property and local councils have no power.

Councils are expected to remove discarded vehicles from both public and private lands, but if the motor in question is taxed, insured and has a legitimate MOT and isn’t in a hazardous condition, they’re unlikely to move it on private land.

The police will acknowledge the vehicle is technically trespassing, but they’ll classify it as a civil offence, meaning you would require an eviction notice from the courts and then you would be forced to begin a long and costly legal process.

A solicitor would be able to get the civil court’s consent to hunt down the legal owner and a judge would have to make its removal, an order of the court. Court enforcers would then be the ones to take action and have the random vehicle removed.

But all of this court action would be at your expense and could end up costing thousands simply to free up your driveway. So, if you don’t want to go through the court process, you only really have a few choices.

You can park your vehicle on the driveway, blocking in the stranger’s motor, as long as you don’t obstruct any part of the public road. You would then have to hope that you catch the owner returning to their vehicle and then they oblige when you ask them to move.

Or you could hire a private tow truck to have it removed, which will see you fork out at least £100, but keep in mind that any damage incurred when the vehicle is being towed could be thrown back at you by the owner, and you would be liable to pay for it.

You could also fit a barrier or parking bollard on your drive to section it off and would feasibly save you money in doing this, but strangely, the system appears to support the offender over the victim in this situation.

Boris Johnson Acknowledges That £111 A Month Is Not Enough To Survive On Universal Credit

Boris Johnson has agreed that £111 a month of Universal Credit isn’t enough to survive on after being faced with the frightful case of a pregnant woman.

The Tory leader, who previously called his £250,000 newspaper salary as chicken feed confessed after he was quizzed by SNP MP Mhairi Black.

Mhairi Black raised the case of a constituent who is eight and a half months pregnant and on the new six in one benefit, which includes a five-week wait for the first payment.

That delay leads to many families taking out advances, which is then paid back out of their future benefits to cover the gap, but they’re then hit by the repayments, which calculated to £50 million in one month alone last year.

And after deductions, including an advance, this unfortunate pregnant lady was left with the grand sum of £111 a month to feed herself, to heat her home and care for her child, and she said that she’d be delighted to give the Prime Minister more details so he could help but that she wouldn’t ask him in principle.

Additional details of the case, including the woman’s name or details of why she only ended up with £111 were not immediately accessible.

But DWP statistics say the average Universal Credit payment is £720 a month, though the information on deductions is less clear, and Boris Johnson responded that he was happy to look at the case or to do whatever was needed to assist with specific cases. However, continued that in the round, Universal Credit has helped and is helping 200,000 people into employment.

And Boris Johnson worded his response carefully just weeks after being slapped down by the official statistics watchdog for making a fraudulent claim about Universal Credit, and in January the Prime Minister announced to PMQs the six in one benefit has resulted in getting 200,000 people into employment.

However, the UK Statistics Authority said his claim was incorrect because the figure is only predicted once the benefit was completely rolled out in 2024.

But it’s all come to little to late for the majority and it’s okay for the government to pat themselves on the back with those changes but it won’t bring back the victims who’ve died.

Suicide doesn’t just encompass one effect of someone just feeling down, it has several issues and the Universal Credit is at fault and the government who are attempting to cover their tracks, and who are acting like nefarious low life vermin pigging it through the trough as ordinary people suffer.

The cost of peers expenses and daily attendance allowance grew by 29 per cent in the year to last March to £23 million. Lord Paul claimed £47,885 in expenses despite his family having a £2 billion estate.

The business magnate, 89, spoke only once in the Lords and more than 110 peers didn’t make any verbal or composed contribution to the House throughout that period, but claimed a total of £1 million and yet some people of the United Kingdom seem to think this is acceptable.

This is unacceptable and some people do whine about it but these leaches are still allowed to carry on as normal.

Universal Credit is an unjust policy and it serves no one that needs help and the rules are so complicated that even the benefits staff that are trained to follow those rules haven’t got a clue, so what chance have the neediest and defenceless in society got?

Well, zero chance and was that by accident or design?

Either way, Universal Credit is cruel and targets the disabled and strips them of their benefits which they genuinely deserve and need. However, some people dislike the fact that people are getting money that they so justly deserve, but those people worship at the political altar of the champagne socialists and are deceived enough to believe that they are them, but then such is socialism, ‘Do as I say, and not as I do’.

One day the penny will drop and hopefully really soon because Boris Johnson only helps the richest get richer.

And yes, Universal Credit was designed as a benefit for getting people back into work, but there’s a group of claimants that will never be able to return to paid work, and severely disabled claimants have been transferred from legacy benefits like the ESA Support Group.

However, what the DWP doesn’t understand is that the disabled are being beaten to the point where they end up destitute or will end up committing suicide et cetera because they can’t handle the stress of Universal Credit or the sanction regimes encompassing Universal Credit.

Universal Credit has proven to be a political decision to try and force as many as they can into work whatever the consequence, but time and time again it’s been shown to destroy lives and cause poverty.

And it’s simple in the eyes of the Tories who lie about helping the most defenceless in society so that they come across as the caring party, whilst behind the scenes, they give instructions to private companies assessing them to get them off benefits, no matter how sick or unemployable they are.

Then there’s this latest report that the DWP have mysteriously or inadvertently shredded the report that demonstrates a link between Universal Credit, sanctions and deaths.

But there’s always a cover-up somewhere where reports into people who’ve killed themselves after benefits have been stopped, and it’s not what you know that matters, it’s what this government tries to prevent you from knowing that matters.

And heating your home is crucial because if your body temperature does down below 95 degrees you can fall into hyperthermia, and hyperthermia doesn’t discriminate age.

Heat is vital for a decent quality of life, the same as food is essential, but then some might say that’s an extravagance as well, and what about those that need Oxygene to keep them alive?

Cold associated ailments can cause pneumonia and heart attack as well as hyperthermia, yet people are content to punish this pregnant lady to illness.

We might not agree with young girls getting pregnant that can’t afford them, but they’re happy to condemn a child to a freezing home, and then there are damp related illnesses because a cold home equals damp, which will ultimately rot the home to its core, which will then cause respiratory problems – no thermal underwear will sort that out!

Boris Johnson declared that £111 a month Universal Credit was not enough to live on, however, the Lords get £325 a day for just turning up, that’s a bigger increase over a week than people are being made to live on for a whole month on Universal Credit.

That’s a £125 per week increase, while those on Universal Credit have to try and survive on £111 per month, even though Boris Johnson acknowledges it’s not enough to live on, well, that wouldn’t even cover the cost of his favourite bottle of wine which costs £180 a bottle.

But then there are those people who would say that this woman is being compensated for screwing up their lives because they have to pay her taxes, well they’re certainly some form of alien life, what would they rather she did, give up her baby for adoption and get a job?

I’m sure the child would thank her in years to come and those people that think of themselves before having any compassion for others certainly are not of parental material, and it’s somewhat apparent that these people are not fit to be called human, and just when you think that people couldn’t sink any lower, they manage to amaze you.

I guess we shouldn’t care less of what other people think of us, but we shouldn’t be condemning people either and for those who are ill and have become unemployed because of illness, the stigma is colossal.

We know nothing about this woman, yet people out there have deemed her a waste and an idiot, and it makes me furious when people are allowed oxygen and a platform to air their inhumanity, and Boris Johnson himself said candidly that he couldn’t sustain on the Ministers wages of £140,000 a year.

Boris Johnson also said that £250,000 a year as a journalist was peanuts, says the man who’s never had to do a real days work in his life, but he can give out billions in foreign aid while UK citizens are being left hungry, homeless and more. He should try living on £111 a month, well, that would be gone on his first lunch break at some fancy restaurant.

But the most fun fact concerning ‘aid’ in the budget is repaid multiple times over in excessive trade concessions we lever out of folks overseas, and we’ve robbed the world for centuries, then given ‘aid’ in exchange, which was greatly beneficial to us and damaging to everybody else. It’s like mugging somebody on their way to the bank, then loaning them the bus fare home so you can burgle them.

The United Kingdom has become so unbelievable, and the author of that disaster gets a flaming knighthood, whilst his pride and joy has forced countless people into dire hardship while costing the country countless millions, so whose head should roll, let’s have a vote, the architect or the quartermasters who ordered these Draconian cuts?

Universal Credit is helping thousands back into work, NO, it’s helping thousands into poverty, and how can it be helping when thousands that receive Universal Credit are still having to rely on foodbanks?

And Universal Credit is saving the taxpayer money, NO, because it costs more to administer than it saves.

The fact is that Universal Credit is merely intended to put people into debt along with forcing them to take zero-hour contracts which the Universal Credit payments system can’t cope with.

And the reason the DWP quoted £720 is that it includes the money for rent, so if you take off what the rent is, that’s what people have got to live on for a month and it’s shameful.

People have to leave work for a diversity of reasons but when it’s for ill health, some people have to wait months for their Capability to Work Assessment which enables them to get more money. In the meantime, they have to use food banks to survive, which in the meantime is making them sicker.

And when people realise that a Lord gets £323 per day for simply turning up and then signs in for the taxpayer’s money, no wonder tomorrow’s children won’t live to a good age, and the outlook for unhealthy children living from food banks and receiving universal coffin is harsh.

But this isn’t about a woman being pregnant, this is about the foolishness of Universal Credit because £111 a month is not enough to live on pregnant or not, and sometimes people end up needing relief and most people in ordinary jobs are one paycheck away from disaster if you happen to lose your job.
