Guest MattP Posted 15 October 2014 Share Posted 15 October 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/feb/04/davidbrindle Ahem. Good read. Some fine examples in there as well. As an aside, I always feel old these days when I read articles on the internet that strech back 10-15 years for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 16 October 2014 Share Posted 16 October 2014 Source? Actually there is an article in the Mail and The BBC News about a woman who suffered mental illness and had an heart attack after her benefits were stopped when he stressed out because of the worry. She was sent a letter asking what she was doing to find work whilst lying in a hospital bed in a coma. Unfortunately the Mail is 1o months too late with the story as I saw it back in Janurary and I believe I may have posted it and received the usual responses 'untrue, trouble makers, loony left, never happened, admin error' amongst others so I see no reason why I should search for stories if people debunk them because the story does not fit in with their way of thinking. The Google search is quite good for finding stories not always seen in the mainstream media. You just have to be open minded when searching. Google woman in coma asked to work then take your choice on which one of the links to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing again, how conservatives think towards its poorer or disabled citizens. FFS 2014, and we have morans, even voted in has Lords.Freud would have been at home in Germany 1936-45.Forget the out of context, its the thinking behind it. Its not the first time he has opened his mouth and spoken through his arse. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/lord-freud-past-gaffes-on-welfare-food-banks-and-bedroom-tax-revealed-9797082.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted 16 October 2014 Author Share Posted 16 October 2014 It amazes me how many people are mock outraged at this poorly worded comment. On one hand we want our polticians to be of the people, not some polished PR person, the next thing you know we will jump on someone who doesn't present their ideas perfectly in answering an off the cuff question in an informal setting at the party conference. Next up recordings of pissed up politicians telling bad jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted 16 October 2014 Share Posted 16 October 2014 Politicians are bad jokes. if you are not on the receiving end of 'off the cuff' remarks by people that represent you then i supposed you can take that view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 16 October 2014 Share Posted 16 October 2014 My brother was asked to run for a place as a party member of a party. He declined when told that it was allowed for politicians to tell porkys if it is in conjunction with their job or working hours. There may well be some whose intention at the start were genuine but for a lot the old saying fits 'Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. (apologies if the quote is not spot on) I suppose the reality is politicians cannot always do what is morally right and they cannot please everyone.

A lot of politicians are actually pretty good people who do a lot of good work, I found out a few months back that of the the £1,000 allowance my local councillor gets he puts every penny back into the community and it's all accounted for in the local village rag. The people I find who often moan about them the most are the ones who have never tried to make contact with their local MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 16 October 2014 Author Share Posted 16 October 2014 You would be mad to go into politics if you didnt genuinely want to help people and your country. People see the disconnect when people treat it as an intellectual excercise and dont worry about the details. You need all types of people yet we seem to judge them as if they are a single type and there is such as thing as the perfect politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MP has the best attendance record for Parliament. Then there are MP's who hardly ever visit their constituencies. I have known of MP's that do not answer letters or send a bog standard reply. And that is true. It may not be widely publicised though for obvious reasons. I think it is more white lies than complete full on fibs. It was a few months ago when I was told. I will ask him to put it in writing so I can quote exactly. I do not lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 16 October 2014 Share Posted 16 October 2014 True Jon. Back on topic. The last Labour office actually recommended paying the disabled upto £4 a day. http://order-order.com/2014/10/15/labour-backed-4-a-day-pay-for-mentally-disabled/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
