Cameron & his Tory shits attack the disabled

Spread the love

I apologise that I’m still trying to get up to speed on this. ILF. Is it The Independent Living Fund that has been abolished?

I’m sorry. I know that this **** ********* (Tory Government – well you can make up your own) has abolished the support that allows disabled people to have a life.

ed: Cameron and Osborne have abolished the support that disabled people need to live independently.

ed: What it means is that they will be denied their independence and will be institutionalised and much more actually. It will mean that disabled people are imprisoned.

ed: It’s happening. Independent Living Fund has been abolished. Disabled people are being institutionalised i.e. imprisoned.

Imprisoned for being disabled?

I want to say that Hitler went for the disabled first but did he? I’m going to say it regardless. There were homos, communist and socialists too. Am I missing something? Well that’s history for you.

08:10ed: Ok I lost the plot there. The point is that the independent living benefit for disabled people has been abolished. What this means for disabled people is that they are institutionalised i.e. imprisoned for being disabled. That’s thanks to Cameron and Osborne who are ever so willing to provide huge benefits for crap bankers.

A decade on …

Spread the love

A decade on I’m starting to feel very much like I did a decade ago – that the state is out to get me personally. Actually, it’s more than just a feeling. It’s the language used about Fascists (individual Fascists?) and Big Cons.

It all seems totally out of proportion as it was a decade ago. Hardly necessary or proportionate for name-calling a couple of Bully-boys and making a probably unfulfilled commitment to get up to speed. I said that I was trying to move on. The trouble is that it should by now be well appreciated that I do defend myself.

I can’t help thinking that perhaps this post would be better made tomorrow.

11.30 edit: I’m going to let this go for a short time to see if there’s confirmation or not.

20.35 edit: Having reviewed things I think that I was prob mistaken and that it’s not directed at myself. It’s taken me a long time to get a handle on Cameron and I think that it’s simply that he’s a big fan of Tonee’s for unknown reasons and – despite achieving good grades – he’s not that bright. For example the (Eton) mess that he made about censoring search engines and now he wants to ban alternative narratives (conspiracy theories) and start a Cameron Youth.

David Cameron to joke about Islamic extremism

This got me going:

David Cameron launches 5 year-plan to tackle Islamic extremism in Britain

Mr Cameron will argue that such a “warped world view” leads to conclusions that 9/11 was “actually inspired by Mossad to provoke the invasion of Afghanistan” and that the British security services knew about 7/7, but “didn’t do anything about it because they wanted to provoke an anti-Muslim backlash”.

and Louise Casey is still about.

Boris Johnson’s crap water cannons

Boris Johnson’s water cannon farce reveals why he will never be prime minister by Adam Bienkov

“…

The inspectors found the weapons have as little as two years’ operational life left before they have to be turned into scrap. Recurrent problems with the pump and the “critical failure” of the tank would be hugely costly to repair and there could be significant problems finding spare parts for vehicles that are now at the end of their operational life. Day-to-day operation and maintenance of the weapons would also be complicated by the lack of any manuals available in English. Meanwhile the time needed to make essential repairs could leave the weapons out of service for significant periods of time.

Bullingdon Tory idiot Boris Johnson

In short, the Home Office found the weapons to be seriously dangerous, hugely difficult and expensive to maintain and operate, and shortly in need of a trip to the scrap yard.

Given the majority of these problems were public knowledge in Germany before Johnson agreed to buy the weapons, it is incredible that he still went ahead anyway. It is especially baffling given that he was repeatedly warned against buying the weapons, not just by his opponents, but by his own former policing deputy and his own party on the London Assembly. Last year, when Johnson pushed ahead with their purchase anyway, a senior member of his City Hall team told me that Boris would “live to regret” his decision. How right they were.

In fact, Johnson’s more sensible advisers aside, the only people to have come out of this sorry saga well are the negotiators of the German police force. The ingenuity and financial sense of the Germans has been somewhat called into question in recent weeks. However, they can hardly be faulted for their prudent management of this particular deal. It is difficult at the best of times to dispose of obsolete and life-threatening military hardware. But for the Germans to get a foreign politician to actually pay 300,000 euros for the privilege of disposing of the defunct weapons for them was a particularly impressive feat.
