Welfare Reform

Image

Confusion at the DWP concerning top-of-the-line welfare improvements, with the absence of leadership and demanding conditions.

Image

Staff Members at the DWP said that the working framework was soul destroying, with a lack of leadership and too much dishonesty and that a large number of people working on the programme had negative experiences.

One of their employees said: “After 29 years of service this has been the most soul destroying work I have done.  There is too much dishonesty and no one ever admits to making a mistake.”

Seemingly the whole system needs to be upgraded and, certain issues with communication that needs to be resolved.

One civil servant communicated: “I have never worked somewhere where decision making was so apparently poor at senior level and, communications from that level was totally nonexistent.”

One could overlook what’s going on, but in fact people have to be courageous enough to entice the masses into speaking out and, to fight off what they know is inappropriate and, occasionally illegal.

What is going on is abhorrent and, we have to be against what is happening to the people of England.

While the government and its successors grow, the people of England are gradually going to wither away while the coffers in the government’s pot becomes vastly bigger.

It’s massively segregating the people into thinking that there is an exceedingly high amount of out-of-work people that are attempting to discredit the structure of the DWP, which then exhibits a new ad campaign between the “Shirkers and the Workers.”

Nonetheless, before the hard worker ascends himself on that high horse he sits on, start to look on all sides of that coin, but of course, they are two sides of the same coin, both are used to control people and, neither normally works very well.

In accordance with the DWP’s own statistics, a large part of all welfare expenditure is consumed on pensioners.  53% on out of work benefits balances for less than a quarter of the welfares budget.

It may well surprise you to learn that benefit spending as a share of GDP fell throughout the first 11 years from the previous Labour government; it only began to improve in 2008, after the economic crash, as hundreds of thousands of Britons found themselves out-of-work through no misdeed of their own.

Jobseekers Allowance is at this present time £71 a week, or £10 a day.  Could Mr Osborne, or any other Tory cabinet minister live on £10 a day, could anyone live on £10 a day?

Image

Well, as Iain Duncan Smith said, he could survive on £53 a week, that’s £7.57 a day.

Image

Currently the National Minimum Wage is £6.19, which over 39 hours a week comes to £241.41 for anyone 21 years old and over, take away £4.64 for tax, which leaves you with £236.77, but evidently they are paying the unemployed in line with the Minimum Wage, which undeniably as one can see, they’re not!

Image

So where did the other £165.27 go to?

Although reportedly Kath Kelly sustained herself for a full year on just £1 a day – I’m just wondering what year that was, perhaps 1812, but this ladies looking good for someone who’s birthday would have been the same year as my great grannies, with that silky hair, gleaming eyes and sparkling teeth she still has, after living off free serve-yourself meals, shopping at church jumble sales and, cadging uneaten food from grocery stores and restaurants, but beggars can’t be choosers and, she wasn’t purchasing the food, she was scrounging leftovers and, If she had to pay for the food for a £1 a day, she’d never do it.

Image

So what, is there going to now be a two mile lineup at the end of each store and restaurant and, what did she do for her lady days, reclaim the sanitary towels – How much is a sanitary towel these days, more than a £1 and, what about toothpaste?

Ms Kelly it seems even managed a free holiday in France by hitchhiking to the Channel Tunnel and, convincing a French woman to take her as a passenger.  I don’t know about you, but I’d be extremely observant whom I cadged a lift off, if anyone, particularly in this day and age where the crime ratio has grown progressively.

Image

Well done for Ms Kelly, but not everyone seeks to be like the tramps on the street and if we do have to conduct oneself like the vagrants on the street, then what has this world come to, to regard human beings like animals.

Image

So, is that correct George Osborne, are there many of jobs out there and, nearly all out-of-work people are just idle?

Not according to Vicky Harrison who’s vocation and ambition it had been to become a teacher or television producer, but in the end gave up hope for the future and, terminated her life after more than 200 failed job applications.

She was an intelligent young girl, with 3 A-levels and 10 GCSE’s; she had studied arduously and, had everything to live for, but she found it mortifying that she ‘d been out of work for so long and, couldn’t take it no more, or was it because she was so fed up of picking up the morning paper and, reading that somebody had called her a scrounger, when evidently all this young girl wanted to do was work.

Her death tragically spotlights the human sacrifice of the highest level of unemployment since the middle of the 1990s.

Miss Harrison was on £51 a week Jobseekers Allowance and, finally reduced her range of jobs just so that she could bring in some money and, feel useful, but even applications for a waitressing got her nowhere.

After two years and putting in applications for roughly 200 jobs, she still continued to be unemployed, but as affirmed by the government there are plenty of jobs to go around, well apparently whoever totalled up the figures could not count and, maybe they should go back to school.

Vicky Harrison was defeated by the statistics and, lost the will to live because she had been struck with unemployment for so long and; the effect of that was far too much for her.

There is only so many times the government can soft-soap a person and, prompt them into thinking that in order to get a job we must stop being work-shy, well this young lady was far from idle, but she was still unsuccessful in getting a job, even though she had demoted herself from her dream job to stacking shelves and, still no one would employ her.

Edward Snowden granted temporary asylum in Russia

Unknown

 

The White House appears to be truly upset with Russia’s decision, they have allowed US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden short-term refuge in their homeland.

Unknown-1

 

Edward Snowden’s location will be undisclosed for security reasons, but the US are demanding that Russia sends Snowden home to the US to face legal proceedings on espionage allegations, even though when said and done, it’s not in fact espionage because he did not spy for anyone else.

Unknown-2

 

He may have accumulated proof against the US government, but he did not accumulate evidence for someone or somebody else, though admittedly he did it in the absence of permission from the US government, so while he is guilty of that, he is not guilty of spying for anyone, which is what he would ultimately be imprisoned for if he went back to the US.

Seemingly if the information that the US government have is so top secret and restricted, then their security is not that superior, or else Edward Snowden would have at no time been able to retrieve it without it coming to their attention, but he did manage to retrieve it and, disclose the information.

The only thing that one could see from this time on is the problem that there will be no dealings between the US and Russian government; they will now be enemies in opposition to each other.

The decision that Russia made on Thursday to allow a safe haven to Snowden at present threatens to send an already awkward relationship between the US and Russia to the lowest level in years.

And what with Russia protecting the ex US spy agency contractor is at the moment viewed as a smack in the face and, the White House is measuring up whether they should now back out of the Moscow summit in September.

The fact that Washington is even sending out this behaviour towards Russia is potentially harmful and, may have consequences and, the two nations are not expected to sort out their dissimilarities because they already have bad personal rapport with each other.

The governmental conditions in Washington on Russia is toxic and; Snowden has for the time being developed this further.

 

 

 

Jeremy Hunt overruled by High Court

Jeremy Hunt acted illegally and, misbehaved badly, using his authority to endeavour to cut facilities at a London Hospital in Lewisham.

If Jeremy Hunt had achieved this, it would have had serious consequences for the future of the NHS hospitals.

Image

The residents of Lewisham fought in opposition to Jeremy Hunt and, were victorious in that battle when a High Court judge ordered that cuts at Lewisham Hospital that were endorsed by Mr Hunt earlier this year should’ve never have been set forward in the first place.

There were rounds of applause in court as Mr Justice Siber pronounced that the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt had violated the terms of the National Health Services Act 2006.

It’s an act of parliament that lays out the formation of the National Health Service in England and, it doesn’t matter who’s in government after that time, that law remains until it’s amended.

Consequently it has to continue to be the same, except in a case where a government or high court alters that enactment.

Anyway, we are far from secure of anything because someone will eventually come along and, amend that law when they feel like it, or when it’s no longer of use to them.

The residents of Lewisham may have won their battle for the time being and, Lewisham Hospital is protected for a while, but in due course some bright spark will come along and try to modify that ruling because laws were meant to be broken.

Image

It’s in human nature to break the rules because they were made by man himself.

Margaret Thatcher’s Funeral Exhausts Taxpayers Money

Image

Her laying to rest came to the price of £3 million pounds, which could’ve gone towards the economic deficit that the government keep on about.

It was said that direct policing and security spending came to £943,833, and the costs of the interment itself came to £261,976.

I’m not sure about you, but why would anyone want Margaret Thatcher watched over with security when she was evidently dead anyhow.

It was stated by ICI personnel after they turned down her job application that she was headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self-opinionated, no wonder she made Prime Minister, although they shouldn’t have named her Margaret Thatcher, they should’ve dubbed her Caligula.

The Cabinet Office established the Opportunity Cost of the guarding the funeral, made it impossible for the police force to be free for duties somewhere else, which was calculated roughly at £2 million pounds.

Image

The honour of a state funeral is normally available for the sovereign as head of state.  Spouses and widows of monarchs are given an official state funeral, which differs merely in the fact that the gun carriage bearing the casket is pulled by horses as opposed to sailors, as well as an undertaking of Parliament not being needed.

Image

Nevertheless, a small amount of documented civilians of profound attainment, extraordinary military pioneers and outstanding respected political figures have also been honoured with a full state funeral, comprising Sir Isaac Newton, Lord Nelson and, Sir Winston Churchill, who was widely considered as one of the most significant wartime front runners of the 20th century.

Image  Image

Image

Nonetheless, a confidante of Lady Thatcher revealed that the former prime minister did not desire to have a state funeral and that it would’ve been unfitting for her to lie in state and, it would be a waste of the taxpayers money – I’m under the impression that must’ve been the only rational thing that she’d ever said!

High-earning Tenants are now expected to show their Incomes

Social tenants that are paid a higher bracket of wages will now be legally required to reveal their earnings if they take home more than £60,000, so that they’re then in line with the market rental.

Image

The Communities and Local Government department indicated last week that the government will set down in law that the burden is on the occupants who are being paid more will have to disclose their income to make sure that they are making a reasonable contribution.

The CLG’s feedback was that the occupant had to pay to stay in their place of residence and, £60,000 was the economical of the three limits set out by the government in its discussion on the pay to stay.

Social landlords will be required to use the additional cash made from this strategy to finance and develop reasonably priced homes.

It’s not the impoverished and out-of-work that this governments cuts will have an effect on, but it will be the hard working people as well, no one is sheltered from the governments control, apart from the exclusively rich and, government themselves.

I Ain’t Got No Home

Edward Snowden’s father made it known that his son should remain in Russia because his son is being discredited by the Obama administration.

Image

Lon Snowden has been working tirelessly behind the lines with legal professionals in attempting to obtain ways for his son to get an impartial trial in the US.

Edward Snowden has been accused in federal court with contravening the Espionage Act and, divulging particulars of NSA reconnaissance.

Image

There have been eight whistleblowers accused with breaching the Espionage Act under Obama.

At the moment,  we have a remarkable group of people, or members of this expanding club, comprising Snowden who has been accused by the US government with the stealing of government property and, two counts of violating the Espionage Act.

In a phone conference with The Associated Press, the senior Mr. Snowden declared he had misplaced his faith and, was not sure that his son would be treated without bias by the Justice Department.

Currently Edward Snowden is in Hong Kong and, he intends to remain in the city and contest any accusations against him in a court of law if it is established that he is culpable, he faces up to 30 years in prison.

Image

Government have extensively wrestled with the concept of the limits if any, to chair on the idiom of ideas and beliefs.

The quandary dates back to at least ancient Greece, when the Athenians prized single entitlements, but nonetheless victimised Socrates for his teachings, laying claim that he had lead astray young people and, had disparaged the gods.

Things have altered somewhat since ancient Greece and, Socrates, but we still have Freedom of speech and, it’s one’s constitutional right to convey one’s beliefs and opinions, utilising one’s body and property to anybody who is ready to receive them.

Image

At the moment,  Edward Snowden needs to obtain a haven and, relocate to anywhere, or anybody who is prepared to entertain his opinions and ideas, but still it’s his constitutional right to communicate his beliefs and opinions – that is not Espionage that is just telling people the veracity of what he regards as true.

Image

The right to freedom of expression is recognised as a human right and, under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that is recognised in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Article 19 of the ICCPR states that everyone shall have the right to embrace opinions without intrusion and everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall incorporate freedom to seek, receive and impart information and, ideas of all kinds, irrespective of limitations, either verbally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.

Image

Consequently Edward Snowden did not carry out Espionage, he did not spy for anybody else, the US government allegedly do that on an everyday basis, so in speculation the US government are supposedly blowing their own trumpet.

Edward Snowden is welcome to a warm sofa in my house anytime he likes because as far as I’m concerned he has carried out no unlawful act, except  revealing what happened and if telling the truth is a crime these days, then everyone is guilty of something and, should all be put behind bars.

Scooter drive-thru Ban

A PENSIONER has accused McDonald’s of discrimination after McDonald’s prohibited her mobility vehicle from a drive-thru.

Image

The lady pulled up at the popular establishment because she fancied a strawberry milk shake and, was then told that the mobility vehicle broke health and safety regulations.

Image

Mobility scooters provide a person the sense of independence that they require to get out and about, but as stated by McDonald’s, not any longer.

The lady said that she didn’t expect that McDonald’s would want a large motor vehicle driving through the restaurant and, thought it would be a bit of fun to use the drive-thru.

Image

Mobility scooters can cause substantial harm to the user or other people if it crashes into someone or something.

Class 2, controlled wheelchairs and scooters, these are only suitable for driving on pavements or footpaths and, have a top speed of 4 miles an hour.

Class 3, powered wheelchairs and other outdoor powered vehicles, including scooters.  These are appropriate for riding on roads and, have a top rapidity of 8 miles an hour and, must not weigh more than 150 kilograms without the operator and any cargo.

I’m not sure of which mobility vehicle the lady was operating, but by what I could see, this lady was driving an 8 mile an hour scooter and, that is then classed as a motor vehicle with a tax disc, so she should have been allowed to have gone through the drive-thru at McDonald’s.

Nonetheless, even had her scooter been a 4 mile an hour buggy, then health and safety would not have allowed her to drive into the restaurant because it then becomes a fire hazard and, is for road use only.

Nasty Immigration Posters

Now they’re putting large outdoor board displays telling illegal immigrants to go home, or face being taken into custody.

Had the government not let them come in and, continue to be here in the first place, then we’d not have billboards like this.  After all, it says illegal immigrants, which means they’re not meant to be here, so why are they and, why have they been allowed to continue to exist in this country for so long?

Illegal immigrant means that they’re here without suitable documents and, over the years illegal immigration has become overwhelmingly on the rise, from the poorer to the richer country, but the United Kingdom is no longer the wealthy country that the poorer immigrant thought it used to be, so why are they still flocking in?

Image

Since 1945, immigration to the United Kingdom under British nationality law has been considerable, in particular from the Republic of Ireland and, from previous settlements and colonies of the British Empire, such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Caribbean, South Africa, Kenya and, Hong Kong.

Nonetheless, advertisements like this on the side of vehicles is unpleasant, as well as disagreeable and, should not be allowed and, if we do, then we are presenting ourselves like animals that are no better than the ones at the zoo.

Illegal immigration happens largely from countries with lower socio-economic situations to countries with greater socio-economic conditions, but in this country presently, that is not the situation.

In 1965, a new Act demanded migrants to have an occupation prior to their arrival and, to have special expertise or who would fulfil the labour requirements of the national economy.

So when prospective immigrants think that the likelihood and benefits of successfully relocating to their destination country are considerably more costly, then illegal immigration becomes an option.

The government said that it was more economical to get people to depart from the United Kingdom of their own free will, as an option of being led away in hand restraints, but these people know that at the end of the day they are going to be led away in handcuffs because they know they’re here illegally, they may be foreign, but their not ignorant.

Flyers and advertisements are being given out in internet cafes, newsagents and money transfer shops and, the government are saying that they’re handing out direction and assistance with travel documents, but that won’t make any difference because the illegal immigrants that come into England do so because even though we are in a financial decline over here in the UK, it is still more effective for them to live here in England and, still post money back to their families in whatever country that they came from and, still have enough to live off while in England.

What the advertisements should say is: Please don’t vote for any government party next time, because whoever gets in cocks it up anyhow.

We know who you are!

Image

I’ve heard this one time and time again, of course they know where we live and, yet they maintain that we’re scroungers and, live off the sovereign state.  Nonetheless, if they know where we live, why did they not sanction our benefits for disability ages ago, instead of telling the tabloids that we’re conniving fakers, bent on defrauding the tax payer out of their hard earned wages.

Image

Truth is that the government has the newspapers in the palm of their hands, controlling them, so that they report the news to the working classes, that the unemployed and, disabled are faking an ailment that’s not there, allegedly it’s all in their heads.

Image

The government are armed, but what are they armed with – Bad breath, colourful language, feather duster – What do you think they’re armed with? – Control!

Nevertheless the unemployed and disabled do not deserve to be assaulted with verbal insults and, disability hate crime, indicating that this is the new norm for people and, those who are disabled.

We lead ourselves by example and if this is the example we’re giving to the destination of procreation; then we have no chance at all, yet the government’s sanctioning people’s money for apparently unneeded spending, but then they go out and acquire themselves a brand new motor vehicle, or a house in the country at the expense of the tax payer and, then tell us it’s because of the unemployed and disabled that the country’s having problems and, the workers accept this rubbish that the government are supplying them.

So it’s “Do as I say and, not as I do” and, then when this happens, in the end you will see the death of interest between people and, as well compassion, goodness and kindness and, no matter what the circumstances are.

It’s double standards, them and us, but when the milk turns sour, I’m not the kind of pussy to drink it.

Prince Philip already stated that, “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation”.  Or did that indicate when he said overpopulation, the unemployed and disabled?

Image

This is unmistakably not a caring nation and, it has no morals and, if you are any kind of leader, it’s your responsibility to inspire people. 

Well, they are encouraging people to lead by example, making it easy for everybody to follow them.

The microwave mind-control so that your minds have a melt down.  Causing people to reportedly talk nonsense and, a meaningless string of words and not feel well and, is this a mind control weapon?

Watching television and, reporting on it was once the safest job in the world, now it’s turning into a bad day in Bosnia.

Image

At the moment, yobs on the street are beating up disabled people because they watch what’s on TV and are convinced that it’s true.

The welfare state is a large part of British family life, with about 5.3 million of them being pensioners, but the government are currently saying that there are generations of taxonomic groups on benefits that have at no time worked.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation issued a study in December to see if there were three generations of the same family that had at no time worked.

Image

In spite of tenacious investigation, researchers were unable to locate such families and if they did exist; they account for a tiny fraction of workless individuals.

Nonetheless, Mark Littlewood, Director of the Institute for Economic Affairs wishes for the names and addresses of everybody on benefits made public by publishing them, along with the benefits that they’re given so that the out-of-work, disabled and pensioners can bow down at the governments feet even more than they do so already.

It’s now the needy against the greedy and, the people you trust from the ones you don’t and, I don’t like to mention it to Mr. Littlewood, but he’s not going to get any grovelling communique of appreciation from the masses, he will only get one word from them, “It’s a right, not a charity”.

Nail in the Coffin

One day you’re living and, the following day you’re in your coffin, well that’s what occurred when Gillian Tuckman’s retirement benefits were cut short, following an inaccuracy that was made by the Department for Work and Pensions when they made a complete and utter cock up.

Image
 
 

This lady had no idea of what was going on until the Council sent her a letter to say that her executors were offering their sympathy.

The DWP said that a human blunder was accountable for the mix up, which leads me to the billion pound debate, if human error is to be held responsible, then what else are they responsible for where facts and figures and, calculations on the out-of-work and, disabled are concerned, in fact, all scroungers that the government say are claiming benefits, or is that an error as well?

The council has restored her benefit immediately and, once again, the council expressed regret for the distress brought about to Miss Tuckman, but she said that while both the DWP and the council have made an apology through the press, they have not apologised to her – I hope they refunded her for the coffin as well!
