He’ll send them all to prison…..

Hurry up, there are only 100 places left

More gesture politics because the conservatives introduced it…..

“ Why in God’s name has Yvette Cooper scrapped a justice scheme that would have forced shoplifters to do unpaid work in the community?

At a time when shoplifting is at an all-time high and when many people now just walk into shops and steal whatever they feel like our dopey Home Secretary has dumped the Immediate Justice Scheme which would have forced these no-marks to carry out tasks like cleaning up graffiti, repairing fences, weeding and working in charity shops.

None of those things would remotely make up for what they’ve done, however, it would have made villains take some responsibility for the misery they’ve caused and it would have meant retailers - who are losing £1.7bn a year thanks to shoplifting – feel that, at least, the police give a damn.”…..

why do slaves in the community need stopping from doing work where people crying for work could be implemented?

pepe.

 

[coollino]

I see that our esteemed leader has removed a £100,000 portrait of Maggie Thatcher that was commissioned by none other than Gordon Brown…gesture politics is alive and well. So come on K9 when are you going to stop amateur hour and actually run the country. Obviously everyone in here will agree with him, but apart from pandering to his lefties how does this rebuild the U.K… answers on a postage stamp please…..

It is a bit strange seeing as Reeves current changes have been closer to Thatcher than anyone one else, I'll give you that

But yeah I do agree it's pretty embarrassing, I don't know where the story came from tho. It might be a tradition to move it to another room, I have no idea

It’s in a room apparently called the Thatcher room, it’s just petty …..

I’m sorry, but what does this even mean……

I'm always a bit cautious about the term 'made up illnesses', there's quite a few with genuine problems which are 'invisible' (chronic pain, mental health) in the sense that there's no outward sign, such as cancer or being wheelchair bound.

There are, however, those who definitely swing the lead. My favourite being an old neighbour who claimed to be basically lame from knee osteoarthritis and alternated between being pushed around in a wheel and limping around using a stick. Every so often he'd forget himself and the bad leg would change. Or he'd be spotted playing football with his nephews. Had a decent left peg actually. Especially as it was apparently useless! On Wednesdays.

Man was an arse.

Fair point.

A former neighbour of mine had what I used to term a "made up illness" and he was sadly found deceased in his house.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Constant disappointment how some neighbours and even family of people who have very servre mental health problems will set about essentially bad mouthing and label " just lazy" "get a job". To the point "safe guarding" measures have been put in place to protect individuals from community backlash. Simply don't get PIP without medical evidence from specialist professionals.

Yes, I worked for the DWP for over five years and saw how stringent their assessments are.

They’re banned inside public places, but obs a lot of pubs turn a blind eye to them ( as long as people don’t take the piss )

Since when are vapes banned inside public places? I thought the smoking ban didn't cover them?

I’m not sure that having a portrait removed from a wall, was intended to be a policy mechanism to rebuild the UK.

More or less when they became popular the biggest complainers in my experience were tobacco users who whined "its not fair".

 

[Xizor]

He's clearly nicked the painting to put up over his bed seeing how he's such a Red Tory Thatcherite or whatever.

Just a metaphor. Going to watch myself some Gebeebies today after work, I need some botoxed presenters frothing at the mouth.

Head fallen off

I wonder what positive earth shattering policy to ‘rebuild’ the nation K9 will announce today…
