Big society

Options
I keep hearing about "the big society" from the government and a thought always come straight into my mind: what are doing?
A lot of people work for charity or in their communities without a second though. But what I would like to know is what are the people who are telling us to it, doing?
What are you David Cameron doing for charity or in your community? Perhaps he is doing something, I don't know, so to get people motivated and to show that MPs are not hypocrites they should produce an MPs list of what they are doing.

  • I am sick to death of this so called Big Society that forces sick and disabled people to look for work with no chance of getting a job because of their problems.
    Nearly 3 million out of work with more to come and only 450,000 jobs available (Do the maths)
    That does not want to pay carers a living wage, takes mobility benefits away from people in care homes, pushes to privatise everything including the NHS (Yes it is coming)
    A society that pushes people out of work but forces them to do unpaid labour in exactly the same jobs.

    Not a society more a forced workforce
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
