I said on another thread, the Tories will be answerable to nobody, no one to stop them taking us back to Victorian times!

Hi

I agree Tessa, I have also posted about my local MP.

The man who started 2020.

Abolition of Minimum Wage, no more State Pensions.

It is up to everyone to look after themselves.

He is incredibly rich and in a very safe seat.

Re: What a cretin!!!

To be fair the working hours thing has been a disaster. Yes people can opt out my husband did and still works hours he wanted but many used it as a way into benefits, by only working strictly the hours they are allowed they get top up benefits. To my mind that's ridiculous.

When we couldn't manage on 48 hours we got jobs with more hours when people can't manage now they sign on for benefit.

I'm no fan of fat cat bosses but if you look at it from the side of a worker who is willing to graft it has damaged something in society. I even know people say they can't do more than 16 or they lose their benefits ! I work a little part time job 15 hours a week if I got one more hour I'd get benefit to pay my rent and council tax ! How fair is that ?

Re: What a cretin!!!

Thread title....'What a Cretin'

Definition of a Cretin ...
'A person who is physically deformed and has learning difficulties because of congenital thyroid deficiency'.

What kind of person uses the disabilities of some unfortunate people as a label to describe those who have no such disability...

Re: What a cretin!!!

I must say I hate the use of words like that whether a person fits the bil or not, I imagined that it would be a censored word, most forums have a swear filter and you never see words like that as they are taken out before the post appears. I'm amazed off seems not to have one.

It is not the forum at fault here, it is the person who uses such words.

I agree but if a member can't be trusted not to say such things a swear filter does it for the rest of us mags. Most of us won't want to see that word used think of it as protecting us.

Forum I help run you can put in custom words so you could clean up many threads and it alerts the mods when someone breaks the rules more than 7 times instigating a disciplinary meeting so we can decide how to go from there, usually a short break from the forum is enough to teach most members.

Re: What a cretin!!!

What did I say?!!!
This morning on the Wright Stuff papers, the Whips are worried that The Tories will gain too much power if they're allowed to change the EU laws when they're adopted.
No one listens to me!!!
