It was all a con, but well camouflaged in many cases.John M Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251285057595626917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-40658017699906676552009-11-09T15:21:25.314+00:002009-11-09T15:21:25.314+00:00Notice how smoothly this policy fits in with the t...Notice how smoothly this policy fits in with the topic your previous post: manipulate the population so as to create a larger client base, thus ensuring permanent hegemony.<br /><br />Indeed, didn't Gramsci invent the phrase 'Cultural Hegemony'?<br /><br />No punishment is sufficient for these ********.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02330412326038302877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-45982370125983548882009-11-09T08:06:55.639+00:002009-11-09T08:06:55.639+00:00A lot of those miners still are on Incap due to &#...A lot of those miners still are on Incap due to 'psychological problems' following their suicidal strike intended to bring Mrs. Thatcher's Tory government down. At the time, the government allowed the rules to grow so that such people stayed off the unemployment figures - voters used to think that it was government's job to get those figures down in those days. They're a bit more realistic today. <br /><br />One of the few policy areas that Mister Cameron's quisling Tory regime will still be allowed to frame without running to his UE masters next year is welfare spending. All he has to do is add a few amending lines of wording to a number of benefits and tax credits legislation to the effect that Child Benefit, Tax credits, Council Tax and Housing benefits and the allowances that derive from children will henceforth cease after the second child. You want three kids? Go ahead, but not from the taxpayer's pocket. Watch the unmarried mothers of Britain discover how to use contraception in short order.<br /><br />He might want to add a time limit for starting a family and being re-entitled to more child-related benefits, such as ten years.Thus, if a girl has her first child at 16, she'll have to bear her second one by 26 if she wants taxpayer's help for its little brother or sister. Then watch breeding on the dole end in a single generation.<br />Of course, Cameron's Leftie Tories probably won't let him do any such thing because it would be 'cruel,' and anyway, he might be wanting to do the handful of things that a British local administration is permitted to do, such as tinkering with <a href="http://www.conservatives.com/Policy/Where_we_stand/Business.aspx" rel="nofollow">tax allowances</a> for businesses in the complex and absurd scheme the Conservatives are presently offering, or signing off the new design for postage stamps.North Northwesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990919627286136085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-18095294875009424922009-11-09T04:39:31.169+00:002009-11-09T04:39:31.169+00:00Whoever signed off nearly 20% of Rhonndas workforc...Whoever signed off nearly 20% of Rhonndas workforce as " disabled " has a lot to answer for.<br />The initial plan when putting the rump working class on the sick was to save movey by not having to pretend to retrain them; they would just die off and thus cease to be a drain on the public purse. The plan backfired because instead of dying off they breeded and their offspring regard going from congenitally unemployable to 'disabled' as their major career move.<br /><br />I can understand the old miners having a high degree of disability, emphasemia and other industry related diseases but their wastrell offspring have never worked so what diseases do they have , oh yes, Stress !bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.com
