Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Unbelievable.........

David Cameron claims benefits are being slashed to give those who depended on them HOPE


If anything showed this PM is out of touch and living on a different planet its that quote above.

What an asshole he is.

The Bedroom Tax violates a parent and child’s right to a family life – what an appeal win!!!

February 18, 2014
What a win!

Any separated parent and often the father who has a ‘spare’ bedroom for his child or children who stay at weekends and holidays and is hit by the pernicious bedroom tax for wanting to still be a responsible parent and have a family life then read this and SMILE.

Then read it again. Then get someone you know to read it out to you just so you know your eyes havent deceived you as to what this SENSATIONAL judgment says.

It says you have a right to a bedroom for your children.

It says your children have a right to a bedroom in your home which is also their home

Mi casa su casa!

It says the back of a fag packet bedroom tax ‘rules’ deny you that right to family life and is a breach of your human rights. It also says the HB regulations that do NOT allow you a bedroom for your child are NOT compatible with the IMPERATIVES of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in these circumstances.

The coalition call this policy the spare room subsidy and have tried to sell it on morality grounds.

YET there is nothing more IMMORAL than the state interfering and denying a parent their absolute inviolable right to a family life AND THE BEDROOM TAX ALSO SEEKS TO DENY A CHILD THE RIGHT TO A FAMILY LIFE TOO

Next time you see IDS or Freud or McVey laying on the spare room subsidy argument as being moral and just and right and all the rest of that hypocritcal blather, then remember reader the DWP argument seeks to deny a parent his or her child and seeks to deny a child his or her parent….and the court here has said correctly that in these all too common circumstances that the bedroom tax policy is a fundamantal breach of the right all parents and all children have…that of what the Tories used to uphold as sacrosanct…a family life!

Yes, very nice gf.

Is the ECHR going to pay for this?

ECHR...?

Sorry got it Max.

No actually I think it should come out of Tory funds. They passed the stupid act.

Lets face it.......MONEY IS NO OBJECT.

It would seem to be the case gf.


so, a separated man would need a three bedroom house/flat to accommodate his TWO kids when they visit?

Not sure about that Max. If different sex you would logicaly think so.

Ive only got the original act.

Im sure egg head will be making an appeal but I dont give him any chance.

That's the problem with this human rights thingy, there seems to be no end to what people are entitled to, as long as somebody else is paying for it.

UNEMPLOYMENT GOES UP.

Recovery built on sand.

Max you must be factoring in some kind of compensation.

This is money taken away not given.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew Neil ‏@afneil 1m
Average earnings increased by 1.1% in the year to December, 0.2% up on the previous month.
Cost of living squeeze continued through 2013.....................ends

and fiddled inflation figure is 2.8%........3% plus for most of last year.

Little wonder people are getting poorer and poorer.

Tory Sleaze.

No, they are trying to engineer a reduction in welfare payments.

In itself that's not a bad thing.

But now the human rights thingy is in operation, that's the end of that.

Welfare spending, for all the headline horror stories, is still rising.

We cant afford it.

Max can we afford the tax avoiders and Tax evaders then???????????????????????

Why dont the govt and the media give this the same amount of coverage as Benefits Street.

Lets say call it Criminal Greed Street.

Agreed gf.

Cheers Max. Nice to have some one on your side.

Dont forget Im a capitalist by nature but believe in responsible capitalism.

The present shower couldnt deliver responsible capitalism if they tried.

Its a FRED CARNO, ARTHUR DALEY government this.

Look at Camoron never had a job in his life always had everything he needs given to him on a plate. How the hell can he tell a man whose lost his job through no fault of his own that benefit cuts are good for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its assholic talk.

Strange no Hays about today, he reminds me of an alcholic mate I have who gets up at lunchtime and dives straight into his fridge for a beer. Poor devil is hooked even drinks parafin at times.

That goes for Cleggy and Millipede as well gf, never knowingly done a real days work in their lives.

About time they all did Max........ Osbournes another.

Just think when his father dies he inherits SIR which opens even further doors than the doors he already as open.

Ive worked my bollox of all my life and yes im privelidged to be a multi millionaire, but at least I can say Ive earned it, these politicians cant.

Just been handed on a plate to them.

I started out at 9 with 3 paper rounds.

Come to think of it wheres MR 5 inch ohh sorry meant MR 5% today aswel.

Is it this unemployment going up they are embarrassed at?????
