Can you imagine your child being left in pain after an accident because you have the wrong health insurance. Welcome to the 51st State

What would it be like being told your cancer is treatable but in your case its terminal as your insurance doesn’t cover it? Welcome to the 51st State

You lose your job, your home because & your kids because workers no longer have rights. Welcome to the 51st State

You have rickets, your children have scurvy, because you cannot afford fresh unprocessed food. Welcome to the 51st State

I was born in Britain, a part of Europe, but we were sold out due to greed of the predator class, so now are sub-Americans.

WELCOME TO THE 51ST STATE

Can we remember the loveable buffoon that is Boris also offered homeless folk fifty pound notes then set fire to the money as they reached it. Beyond cruel and has £50 to burn, so he ain’t a man of the people.
He treats women as objects and believes its OK to touch them, to sleep with women who he is giving contracts to, and seemingly beat them up. Not a man.
He lies and steals for greed, is power hungry and cares nothing for the people. Allows Trump to hide an American citizen who ran into a young lad on a motorbike and killed him.
Not a man as I understand the term.
He bought water cannons to use against us. That’s against you and me.
He sells off out NHS and other services to make profit for himself and his friends.
NOT a man in my book.
He offers to send our soldiers into harms way at the whim of a mentally ill American President.
Not a man who should be in charge.
He refuses to abide by the law despite being the ‘prime minister’.
Let’s be fair he is not a man, he is an egocentric, pathetic excuse for a petulant child. He is a racist hater, an absolute embarrassment. He is dangerous. He is a laughing stock. He is not a man. He is not humane. He is only. barely human.
So no Boris I do not like you, I do not think you are a joker, I think you make Jim Davidson look reasonable. You are a vile excuse for a person. You are an abuser upon every level. Sadly I truly thought my fellow Countrymen and women would see through you. It seems not.

This is a man you has no empathy, no morals, he is greedy and corrupt. He is not your friend, not your mate.
BORIS YOU REALLY ARE A BASTARD.

Now I agree and support all the posts about not setting off fireworks ahead of bonfire night because of animals being afraid.

I also would like to point out that men, women, children and their pets are not just facing fireworks in Syria, Yeman or Palestine right now. The rockets being fired at them there are not for fun or display. They are not to produce awe or gasps at their beauty. Their bangs signify death and destruction. They ar being let off to kill and maim.

Worst of all they are
Most are likely made and sold by British firms. So let’s spare a thought for those creatures, animal and human too.
Jonesy.

I have been unable to work for a few years now and am in receipt of ESA and PIP.

I am nervous about writing this because I may be targeted by the DWP and Jobcentre. This likely would result in my benefits being removed or at best suspended.

I have several chronic illnesses that make life difficult and at times more than challenging. I live with constant pain, and though occasionally people will see me about looking as if I am what is perceived as ‘normal’ and living my life, most of my days are simply existing with the pain, the exhaustion and sadly the soiling my illnesses cause.

I get very low and often so suicidal that I sit with several insulin pens in my hands fighting to find reason to stay alive. One day I may very well lose that battle.

I also become scared of answering the phone or worse the door. Keeping my curtains closed in order to hide from the postman or the rest of the world.

Anxiety and depression often develop alongside chronic illness, for me, the only person I can truly talk about, illness stripped me of my strength, dignity, purpose and worth. It isolated me from friends and strained my family relationships even beyond breaking point. It allowed my children’s mother to describe me as a useless cripple to my kids and others.

Britain judges me and hundreds of thousands of others as scroungers, living off their money. Not contributing to society. My journey was one of working, college, university, and developing my career. I started out working in a belt and brace factory in Manchester, driving buses in Manchester, Wales and Derbyshire, with youth work, residential care work and finally child protection Social Work to management level.

My career was my life, after my kids. When ill health stole it from me along with most of the other things I held dear I thought I could never be of any ‘use’ again.

My path was my own, others have similar or different ones, some may continue to undertake some work, some folk may have never been able to work. The point of national insurance (NI) and tax is to ensure all in society, whether they have been able to contribute or not should be able to live a safe, nurturing, happy and worthwhile life. At least for all those years I paid into the system it’s what I was led to believe.

I now realise I will never be able to work for anyone else, my health issues ensure that I cannot plan to work one day to the next. I can have two or three good days then spiral down for a month.

I can however possibly commit to complete a court report over a six or eight week period. That may give me the option of setting up as an independent social worker. There is a bit more to it but that’s the gist of my current thinking.

I needed more information about what support would be there and how my benefits (entitlements as its not a benefit) would be effected.

I called the Jobcentre on their 0800 number and was on hold for forty minutes. My call was then answered. I was despite the wait still in good spirits as finally there maybe some hope that I once again would be able to contribute towards the people of the UK and pay something back once more.

I explained the reason for my call and was promptly told by an officious nameless female voice that I need to go into the job centre. Well again I cannot yet make appointments, especially at this time of year, I therefore asked that after the forty minute wait upon the phone for her please not to just fob me off. Her answer was to snarl (only word to describe her demeanour) “I am not fobbing you off”. I asked her to change her attitude and suggested I may be recording the call and was sure the press would be interested in the manner she dealt with people. She said “if your recording this I will hang up” and she did so.

If I had been at my lowest ebb this would have destroyed me.

This was a civil servant employed to work with vulnerable people. There is no way to complain and if you do you become ridiculed.

A few months ago I had phoned the DWP and was again after a substantial wait explaining to a male worker how the additional PIP assessment process was making me want to kill myself, the line was quiet as if he had hung up but then came back to life with him laughing to an unknown collegue about a photo someone was sending around their office. It was only the intervention of a friend that stopped me ending my life there and then.

I am so far lucky that I a here to moan about the way I am being treated, over a hundred and fifty thousand others are not. They have died through the callous actions of these vile people.

It’s not only the Jobcentre staff that are horrific to the vulnerable, I have had abusive behaviour from the police, I have been attacked three times due to my disabilities and daring to use my crutches in public. The police accepted it was hate crime, but failed to act. I have been called names such as scrounger or cripple by members of the public and my ex wife.

Today’s society is truly abusive towards anyone seen as vulnerable. I saw it as a social worker in the communities of England and Wales, but never realised just how truly terrible it is.

We are singled out by programs such as Benefits Britain, Kyle and the like, which make out that folks with disabilities are scroungers, thieves and fraudsters. The press villifies the poor and who they see as weak easy targets. They create anger at those who cannot defend themselves, from the homeless, the mentally and physically ill, the poor, the refugees, the list goes on.

Why? Because whilst you are angry at us you no longer focus upon those who really steal from society. I won’t point fingers, work it out for yourselves, but if it’s not the sick, disabled, weak, poor then who is it? Who is forming your opinions? Who is allowing these modern day SS administrators to behave like they do? Who rewards their inhumanity?

This has been my experience to date after four years of illness. I cannot begin to imagine what it will be like for those who have always lived this life, that will continue to be dealt with as if we disabled are scum.

We need to defend free speech even if it’s loaded with hate. If we subvert people’s thoughts we cannot ever hope to change their views.

By blocking, ignoring or name calling all we do is increase the divide that this government and Brexit has widened.
I have friends who have very different views to mine. But without challenge on an intelligent and affable level they will always be different.
I truly have found shouting or name calling makes for them to be more obstinate.
I am secure in my morality. I need no longer try to prove it to others, they see it and if are friends respect it. That is to me an opportunity to begin to change theirs.
Experience forms our views. Nurture truly is more shaping than nature. Time we realised that.
Yes we need to continue to confront organised hate. That cannot be allowed to thrive. But we also need to steer folk to a better path if we are to achieve a fairer society and the better world we all desire.
Discrimination does anger and frustrate me. But I know my stance, I just need to continue sharing it with others.
It’s no good only socialising with those like you, with that you can never change anything.

Thanks for reading.

At the Climate Change Rallies the police were told by Johnson to go in hard. They arrested many children and young adults. They also arrested a 91yr old bloke.

The officers sadly “follow orders” just like the SA & SS did. There are no end of bastards that will fall in line because their ’employers’ tell them to. Police, DWP, Military, Hospital Administrators, Council Workers. The list is endless. It’s abusive and vile.
PEOPLE HAVE LOST SIGHT OF HUMANITY AND OFTEN THEIR OWN ROOTS.
It really is time to open your eyes. People refer to 1984 by Orwell but in. Any ways we are wel and truly on the way to a far more scary dystopian world. Machines and computers can do pretty much any job. China have just unveiled a tank that controls itself. The US have ‘intelligent drones’ that can operate autominously. We are no longer even cannon fodde for Countries or now more likely Corporations. We only now really are a measure of the wealth of the super rich, beyond that we are a drain on their resources.
Our lives not only hold no value to them, are no longer a profitable commodity, but are seen as stealing their world and taking up valuable space.
We are now an inconvienence but soon will be a threat to their utopia.
People do not yet see this, they do not under stand. They truly believe that since the invention of digital watches and home computers the world changed, the old evils were vanquished, our governments not truly valued us.
Sorry but no. Those evils got more powerful, now they can watch you whilst you eat tea, have sex, or even clear your bowels. They don’t need cameras in space, nor even cctv, you, we all carry our own portals to be watched, listened to and tracked from.
And sadly no this is not tin foil head decoration time, this is not the view of a conspiracy nut, it’s real, it’s getting to the point all your thoughts will be a matter of record.
We are no longer seen as cattle to be herded but are now a pest to be culled.
Sorry I know it seems far fetched, too much time to think, over active imagination, but seriously think for yourselves, once you do not work in Britain and USA you are vilified, dehumanised, seen as the problem with society. You are called, victimised, attacked and have no access to the law, to justice and in the good old USA you can’t even get health care.
The truly poor in Britain are ignored, beaten, imprisoned, stripped of what little belongings they own, and yes even set fire to for entertainment. We have a prime minister known for goading people forced to live on the streets by offering them a £50 note then as they reached for it he set it alight. Oh hang on this is one of those facts changed since he became PM.
I can’t force you to read this, I can’t direct you to believe it, Al I can do is show you my truth, my views born from working in the poorest communities in England and Wales, from protecting children and their families from harm, often resulting from depravation and poverty. From saving kids from abuse, and seeing how distanced from humanity some of those in power, managers, officers, even ward staff truly are when seeing the worst humans have to offer. Watching families beaten down and being laughed about because those who should have been keeping them safe saw them as worthless.
Our society is broken. We are not the cause. But our inaction, our refusal to hold our heads up coludes with the true monsters of our existence and perpetuates a world where we, our families, friends and children are seen as worthless.
We can only hope to fix it by taking on the oppressors. They have the power, the resources and the arms, we have only us, but we outnumber them a million to one. We’ll we would if we finally learnt from the lessons of the holocaust and stopped “just following orders”.

When I was a child growing up in the 1970’s many of the adults around us had grown up in war or fought in war. They were proud that this little island had stood alone in Europe against fascism and the Nazi’s. I knew men who had been in the first wave on D-day, who had been at Dunkirk and had been amongst the troops liberating prisoners – victims at the concentration camps.
My paternal granddad had served in the merchant navy and Royal navy on the Russian convoys. My maternal grandad worked at Chadderton Works building Lancaster bombers and earned the nickname Mephistopheles, after a Faust demon.
My mum and dad were born in the war and lived in Liverpool and Manchester whilst bombs rained down. Their playgrounds were bomb sites.
They lived with rationing and make do and mend. They never knew if they would see their parents again when they left for work or sea.
That war was fought by us commoners not for power or gold, but for survival. Whatever the reasons the estaishment had, most people were fighting to stop the fascists. They died to protect us from hate.
Sadly history shows that our Royals did not quite feel the same.
The point is our families all lost folk to that war, all the people of the UK fought, suffered and died to stop the hate, cruelty and murder that is the fascist way. Yet now we are letting that religion of terror into our country, our communities, our homes and our hearts.
Yes racism continued after the war, it has always been sadly a vile part of our society, but it was challenged, it was not acceptable, we knew it was wrong and were ashamed of it. Now sadly it seems OK to spout hate and bile, it seems to far too many fine to go on a rant about anyone who is a little different due to race, colour, gender, ability or sexual preference.
Well it’s not OK, it’s not fine, it’s not acceptable. My family lost members fighting the fascists as likely did yours. So stop this shit, wake the heck up and realise that this hate is devised by those with power to divide us and stop us seeing who really steal our jobs, the asset strippers, who leave us in slums, the landlords, who keep us poor, the employers and banks, who incite violence and hate, the media and establishment owners.
It is really and truly that simple. They are scared of a united Britain, a united society. Once we all see through the hate they may just have a real reason to be scared, and maybe we will then fight against our fascists to leave a better world for our children?
I hope so anyway.

I see that the Jeremy Corbyn is an IRA supporter crap is resurfacing. Firstly shame that we don’t see how many British and Irish lives were saved with an end to the conflict in Northern Ireland. No one can think an end to war was a bad thing? And given that Corbyn brokered with those on both sides doesn’t that sort of show that he was not and is not an IRA supporter, despite those really badly photoshopped images still doing the rounds.
But we do have a government in bed with the DUP who were and are supporters of the protestant faction terrorists. Mmmn yep short memories.
We also have a government happy to destroy the peace in Northern Ireland just to get their way.
Don’t forget that Karen Bradley the Northern Ireland Minister appointed by Theresa the Traitor didn’t even know there was a difference between Republican and Loyalist groups. We’ll she wouldn’t being raised in sleepy Buxton and only interacting with plebs when she lorded it in her dad’s pub.
It seems that despite Labour taking a neutral stance on Brexit, and the commitment from Conference to let the people decide with truth and not the lies from both sides that were peddled, the Brexit hardliners are scared that the people might with some actual knowledge make a different decision. Oh dear that might mean a delay or even cancellation. Oh gawd would that mean that the corruption and tax evasion of the super rich might be exposed? That Mogg, Johnson and even HM Queeny might be seen for what they are?
Oh dear.
Well if you want the Irish terrorists (or freedom fighters depending on your view, I prefer the term ‘people’) to rearm out of the greedy breaching the agreements and trust then yep a no deal with the proposals for Ireland might just do it, but if you want continued peace, a better deal for Ireland and Mainland Britain, a Brexit or no Brexit of the people, surely we need an experienced cool negotiator? Mmmn now doesn’t that sound like someone we know?
I am not pro or anti Brexit but am anti no deal. I want a future for the UK and that is not on the coat tails of America and definitely not with Trump, who as a point of interest attended fundraisers on the republican side during the war (not troubles, it was a war, people died on both sides).

Have a little think folks. What’s best for Britain?

Yep I am a grumpy old egotistical opinionated bastard, I lived 52yrs and seen quite a bit and done some stuff to earn that right. I am not God, if there is one, I ain’t a prophet I am just as described with hopefully a tad of intelligence and a splash of wisdom.

I marched with the miners. I fought at the side of the print workers. I blocked streets in Manchester and London against oppression, racism, war and apartied.
I worked in communities to protect children and their families from poverty, discrimination and sadly way to muc abuse. I helped convict the abusers, and they were of all ages, races, class and cultures.
I have watched folk die due to Austerity, cuts and corruption.
I have worked all my life until I got ill. Not working is not a choice. I loved my job, my career. It gave me reason, pride and self worth. I earned a good salary and paid my taxes and NI.
I still fight every day against the injustices I see. I try to educate when needed. I try to get people to see hate us not the way forward. That division is a weapon used against us by those who seek to control us.
Brexit may or may not happen. If Labour get in there will be a binding vote of the people. This will be based upon truth not lies. Labour have no agenda but what’s right, and what the people truly want. I actually do not care if in or out, as long as we do not suffer for the greed of those in control (or as with this current Tory shower no control).
Of late I have had to block folks on my timeline and in groups not because I disagreed with their views, just their offensive and hate filled mannerisms.
We as a nation are being divided. We are being made to see our neighbours, families and friends as enemies.
Well you are only my enemy if you try to insult my intelligence, steal from me or anyone, abuse or try to harm me or others to sate your greed, corruption or ego. I make a good friend but a very bad enemy. I never forget, and sadly rarely forgive. A fault I know.
The Prime Minister and the previous four, yes including the War Criminal Blair, have in my opinion harmed others, stole from us all and continue to insult our collective intelligence. They therefore are my enemies and will never be forgiven. There are other MP’s also on that list, along with some folk I know from here or in person. It’s a fairly long list. Sadly.
Just because I have that list does not mean I will ever act upon it, but opportunity sometime arises for Karma to be assisted in its duties.
And no I am not now or ever have been violent or aggressive just to be clear, and do not advocate injuring others. Not my way.
I digress.
The point is unless you are on that list for those very reasons you are not my enemy. I hold no malace nor have any other agenda but to fight for a better world for us and our children.
I respect all if that respect is earnt, I give everyone a chance to earn it, as I am an old skool biker and that’s our way, but btray that respect and trust and it will not be as easy to earn it back.
I don’t want sycophants as friends, I want free thinkers, with morality, empathy and honesty. I want folk that care as much or more about others as they do themselves. Most of you fit into that slot.
I do moan, whinge and whittle, I know, in fact when I am on a downer I don’t like me so can’t understand why anyone else would. I have little self worth and low self esteem, but I have my morals. I live and stand with them.
I will stand with those I see deserving of it. This often not only lost some so called friends and regretfully family on the way but often has made me a target, but it’s my way. My morals are my honour. I will not stand by and see others hurt or attacked. I will not allow theft or fraud against folk. But that means I stand against all corruption including tax evasion, and corruption.
I wil not support war unless it is to ensure regimes that use fascism and extremism that seek to murder, injure, torture, maim and oppress are ended.
I will never support imperialism or expansionist. I will not stand aside for genosude, whoever the protagonists.
Folk are folk. Human are human. Life needs to be fair and promoted, not oppressed and ended.
There are resources on this planet to sustain our population and reasonable growth, but not whilst greed is the controlling motive behind power and control.
We all know this. We all know that those who have the title of mega rich hold the majority of the worlds resources to ransom. Wealth is a measure of power. That is all.
So anyway if you read this far it maybe let you see something of me. And thank you for getting to know me a little more.
I am nothing special, I hold no more value than any other person on this planet. I am not remarkable, not talented, not special. I am a simple bloke, with nothing more than you see. But I have the right to call some of you friends. That makes me truly rich beyond words.
So thank you again
Jonesy

I see it every day folks on Facebook and twitter.
Of the giving up of Empire they remain so bitter.
It matters not that we enslaved so many free folk.
That we invented concentration camps is just a joke.
The dead and dying upon our freezing damp streets.
To these vermin are a sight of amusement and treat.
They care nought for cruelty aimed at sick and disabled
Display pics of white clad knights who are only fabled
These muppets see themselves as the master race
Puffed up toothless middle aged with ruddy red face
They vote Conservative or even more pathetic BNP
Pushing for Brexit so at last their hatred will be free
What these idiots will never have capacity to be taught
Is that humanity is our gift and that they will be fraught
We will stand against their bile and ongoing hate
Never to pass without challenge their sealed fate
