Children falling ill or dying is their own responsibility, they need to feed and warm themselves said a Tory, probably
Is this overblown? Genuine question. My house doesn’t drop below 13 in the winter and we always open windows to sleep at night. Most days we don’t even turn on the heating.
Is this a comfort or life/death issue? I suspect both but want to understand why.
I think what’s so frustrating about this is how obviously in-the-wrong the energy companies are, and that we see that, and it fucks with our sense of fairness. Just like with the banking crisis though, the people who are in the wrong are being awarded huge bonuses while the government tells us to tighten our belts or in this case, nothing at all.
Anyone else read that as “uk faces humiliation crisis” or just me?
Does anyone know yet when exactly we’re getting the £150 and £324 payments?
Honestly, imagine if we actually attempted to fix things instead of blaming smart motorways, the woke and immigrants.
Families with children need the same legal protection as pensioners against being cut off in the colder months. The majority of big UK suppliers have pledged not to cut off households with children under 16, disabled and vulnerable etc, but proper legal protection would be a stronger guarantee.
Who’s to blame…
1. Thieving corrupt lying Tories
2. The right wing press that support them
3. The LibDems who stupidly enabled the Cameron government, spread lies and then in the last election, because of the fantasies of their idiot leader, went after Labour seats, splitting the vote and letting the Tories have the seat
4. The backstabbing, lying, racist Labour MPs who spent years trying to hurt their own party
I normally don’t vote but I’m going to start voting, tories are disgusting.
I’ll try my luck in far East Asia. Escape the poverty and desparation of the UK…
My neighbour voted Tory and now she’s complaining that the government aren’t doing anything to help her.
This strangest sound emerged from me when she said it. Not so strange that she didn’t understand what I meant though. She’s avoided me since.
I was listening to the radio yesterday, and it stated prettymuch this, but the next headline was about how much aid and food parcels are being sent to Pakistan due to the flood. Absolutely baffling, you’d think we’d get all our shit sorted out first
We’ve been facing a humanitarian crisis since 2010
It’s not supposed to be my/our job but are there some decent charities that are doing a better job than our current government at… yknow… keeping children alive.
Perhaps people should have been more careful with their money instead of having more children than they could sensibly afford. For the last 30yrs or more people have lived right on the edge of what they could actually afford, using credit cards for everything they want
From the view of the politicians in charge in the UK, it’s not a crisis. It’s a **culling**.
You have to understand that its been decades now of the same politicians doing their best to keep these children from getting anywhere:
Now they are just dispensing with the niceties of obstruction of lives and moving right on to destruction of lives.
When the UN inspector visited the UK about 5 years ago and clearly stated the problems in British welfare and society the right wing media tried to destroy his credibility. It was the UN for god’s sake, it further confirmed that the media and govt was corrupt and harmful to the people.
I’m glad I grew up poor, all the stuff I grew up watching my parents do to make ends meet will come handy as the Tories continue to plunge us into chaos.
Silly me thinking that education was a form of upward mobility.
Where will you be when the petrol bombs start flying?
