  • At least it's just a Trolling Accusation and not swearword Benefit Bashers who are so easy to recognize.

  • 848 views from MSE* The Power of the Law* lets hope they win and the DWP are helpless to be able to do something like Appeal to the Supreme Court.
    Gosh imagine a Victory being published in this of all places!!!!!!!!!!!
    NB any Lawyer I would add sympathetic Left-leaning Lawyer would like to correct me then please please do. I want to get this right.
    This whole legal dimension is yet another thing that is needed to be added to the more hopefully formal dimension of a hopeful CAB presence on MSE.
    Meanwhile I have a few proposed Links, which I would appreciate the Lawyers looking at once I have posted so all present and correct.
    I think benefits bashing on MSE has gone too far.

  • All strength to you Michael Meacher MP a decent voice amidst the Tory wolves, #nastyparty as it forces the most vulnerable to pay the deficit the Torybankers forced on us and continue to force on us via massive QE payments,with no results.

  • MSE Martin and MSE Editorial Liason and Admin.
    I think Legal links are well overdue to add to a hopeful rigorously protected CAB Zone on this site. Where Benefits Bashers are not allowed to come in with their interferering and judging ways. They would NOT be allowed to trespass a punter having a Welfare Rights Session or a Session with a Lawyer Pro Bono or otherwise.

    At last, an MP who is an example to the rest of the wasters.
    Michael Meacher MP
    http://www.michaelmeacher.info/weblog/2013/01/is-parliament-fit-for-purpose/
    Michael Meacher should be leader of the Labour party, and the next PM
    an example to the rest of the useless parasites we have now.
  • It's very enervating to watch him.
    Writing to our MP's Petitions, Vigils, the more difficult it is for the DWP to wriggle out of seeing the blood on their hands the better.

    This is the full debate which goes for 3 hours.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/21035307

    I think you would be surprised by the debate which MP's did on atos and even more surprised (**** OFF) by the minister response.
    If it ever got to the point where i have no money to eat. I would go to the police station and break something to get myself arrested. Atleast i would get a warm cell and food and if everyone who get SANCTIONED by the job center did that than the government would have to change there policy about sanctioning so many people on the work program.

    When I was younger and used to go to the pub with friends a couple of times a week, we used to debate everything and anything - sometimes for 3 hours. By the time we were kicked out at 11pm everything seemed to be so unimportant. We were happy to disagree. We saw life and it's problems in a different light.
  • There's a place for both, so long as the barstards are forced to back down from dangerous policies.

    And now having spent a long time bragging about how you were abusing the system you come to the sharp end where your benefits are suddenly about to be trimmed. No point arguing the issues with your MP is there, he's only there to show a hand for your constituency afterall. From your previous posts bragging about what you were 'given' I guess you can't argue the point so I understand your "It's inevitable" stance. In your case I am afraid that karma really does exist Andy.
