DISABILITY BENEFIT CUT BY PM MAY

Disability Benefit will be cut from £102 to £73 a week part of the £12billion 'saving' issued by George Osborne and PM May does not stop it. She spoke of "Equal Society" ?????? Another con merchant!!!




What kind a person, especially as a woman, is PM May, living in the lap of luxury, to cut Personal Independence Payments which will have devastating effects on the most disabled people.




Apparently PM May carries on where ex-PM David Cameron left off or is he still pulling the strings and she just acts. It would not be a surprise.

Charities warned that 230,000 people could lose or receive a reduced  Personal Independent Payment (PIP).


It also concerns the most vulnerable cases of disabled people who need round-the-clock care. It is the worst deed PM May could have done.


At the same time PM May gave the 650
MPs a pay rise of £1,049 which bring it to £76,000 from 1 April, 2017. In 2016 their pays increased from £66,000 to £72,000. MPs who are already more than well paid considering all their expenses are paid by the taxpayers. Their  claims for fuel allowance totalled to £200,000 alone.

Labour refused the pay rise.

110,000
DLA claimants were re-assessed by Maximus, an American firm which had been in court in the USA for fraud, and 21 pc had their Disability Living Allowance benefit cancelled.

Another 121,000 a 23
pc had their  PIP been given but at a lower rate
The data shows that nearly half of those re-
assessed people lost some or all of their disability benefit.

450 with Parkinson disease
3,069 with MS
4,450 suffering of a  malignant disease
294 cystic fibrosis
36 MN
1,617 classed as terminal ill
2,525 blind people
570 suffer from AIDS
128 Haemophiliacs
19 double amputees
20,050 Back pain
34,545 Arthritis
8,084 chronic pain symptoms
10,725 learning difficulties


The
DWP insisted that on a whole 40 pc had their payment increased and 12 pc had experienced no change.

The most repulsive statement came from the
DWP about those classed as terminal ill. It said: "They were not found any longer as "terminal ill" because they were not expected to live beyond six months."

Charity MIND which cares about mental health pointed out that 74,580
DLA claimants with four psychiatric disorders lost some or all of their of their benefit - 55 pc were re-assessed.

It all came after the £4,4bn were scrapped. On account of it Ian Duncan Smith resigned and it showed and proved what kind of character he is to begrudge the benefit to the worst off people.


He should have been axed a long time ago because the amount of taxpayers' money wasted on his Universal Credit reform, untold harm to people, 2,300 suicide and it is still a mess.

On top of it all he allowed himself and his DWP staff a £44million bonus while all the time ex-PM Cameron and ex-Chancellor Osborne were looking on fattened their friend as never before in UK's history.

The worst disabled people also had to return their much needed
Motability vehicle.

What kind of callous and cold-blooded people, sitting in high position earning fat salaries, pay no expenses and do nothing but cutting desperate ill people's benefit.


Is it not enough that over 2,300 people were driven to suicide? Does nothing ever reach them to make them stop?
New report stated that another 600 disabled people last year alone died because of being forced into work and their Disability Benefit was withdrawn.

TOP ELITE ACCOUNTS FROM PANAMA TAX HAVEN LEAKED Updated 11 May, 2016

All the accounts are on the Internet now!!! Has it died a natural death again like all the other scandals because the "Elite" is involved.

PM David Cameron faces questions of his shares and taxes in Panama but now it was decided there will be no inquiry as requested by Labour.

Icelandic people went on the street and had their PM out within 24 hours while Cameron, and his 'Elite' gets away again and causes more damages to the country and its people.


My Point of View:  It would be a big surprise if UK politicians are named and heads are rolling, especially at the very top

All these days Mr Cameron denied being involved with his Father's account in Panama but today he admitted he and his wife had shares in it but sold them in 2010 and paid all the taxes. What about British Virgin Islands which is the biggest tax haven of them all?

From one of the world’s most secretive company MOSSACK FONSECA in Panama 11 million documents had been leaked. 


Panama is one of many tax havens for the most richest to hide their money. It was such a massive leak that may of the top elites will be worried. Will they reveal it all?

The leaked papers prove Mossack Fonseca helped the richest people to launder, dodge and sanction money to avade taxes.

The company said: “It has operated beyond reproach for 40 years and has never been charged with criminal wrong doing.”

The data show 72 current or former heads of state, including dictator’s accounts of looting their own countries. The very fact that there were also dictators’ accounts does not make them look so innocent.  On the other hand, so called democratic leaders are also not innocent from looting money from their own country.

The documents came into the hands of the German newspaper Sueddeutche Zeitung and were passed on to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
BBC Panorama and The Guardian newspaper are part of the 107 organisations in 78 countries that had been analysing the documents. The BBC does not know the identity of the source that provided them.

In my personal opinion it is hoped they never will. The whistle blowers had to suffer and still suffer only because they told the truth about the dirty dealings going on.

These documents are papers fro Panama tax haven of the rich and powerful. It covers every business of Mossack Fonseca during the last 40 years.

Gerard Ryle, director of ICIJ, said: “I think the leak will prove to be probably the biggest the offshore world has ever taken because of the extent of the documents.”

So far we were straight away informed the Russian, including Putin, Egyptian, Syria Mr Assad, Pakistan PM Ayad Allawi, former vice president of Iraq, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko and Iceland Sigmundur Davio Guneaugsson were involved.  We have not heard about any other leaders from the USA or West.  Do we believe they are all straight and honest leaders never to siphon off a penny to a tax have? It is unbelievable.

Hold on a minute they mentioned six members of the House of Lords and three former Conservative MPs and dozens of donors to the UK political parties have offshore assets. Why were they not named like the other people? Will it be swept under the Westminster carpet or hoped in time it will all be forgotten?

With today's well informed public it does not do any longer with the decades old finger pointing to Russia or other countries. The USA and West have also a mountain of dirt on their doorstep

Since a laundering ring was exposed and ran by Mr Putin's closest friend but no USA or Western names of politicians or leaders it raises suspicion if the sudden exposure has not a purpose of discredit Mr Putin or all the others named?  Is it to believe  the USA and West have all clean vests?

PM David Cameron has promised to “sweep away” tax secrecy but it turned out to be another broken promise. He is now planning a summit of world leaders next month, which will focus on the conduct of tax haven. Has his chair starting to wobble and why such a massive effort of a summit of worlds’ leaders?

He did not call for a summit of the worlds’ leader for the steel industry?

RUSSIA INCREASES MILITARY BACK-UP IN SYRIA


In my opinion it took longer than expected. The US and the UK played too long cat-and-mouse in this and other countries which were no concern of theirs.

As far back as the destruction of the World Centre; Bush and Blair invaded illegally Afghanistan and fought the Taliban. As before they supported them and when Russia, fighting the Taliban, pulled out because they could not see any winning the fight; America changed their sites and attacked the Taliban. It took 10 years and hundred thousand of civilian lives as well as soldiers.

Now, they are pulling out and it was already reported that the Taliban retook some areas which were bitterly fought over and cleared.

At the same time the US and UK invaded illegally Iraq. Big outcry went across the world that Saddam Hussein was a dictator and has weapon-of-mass-destruction. War raged and people died and they brought down Saddam Hussein and his ruling party.

As before, it was reported, that there were no ISIS in Iraq but now it had a stronghold and the people are far worse off.  The WMD had never been found and British top scientists and weapon expert Dr Kelly lost his live, assumed murdered but classed as suicide. Because he stated that there are no WMD.

The US then supported the rebels in Syria fighting President Bashar Assad.  Eventually it turned out that they turned into a terrorist group Al Qaeda which partly turned into IS.

In 2012 IS started to kidnap journalists and aid workers which was kept from the public for a long time. Eventually, the news broke when IS started to behead them one by one and showed videos of it. They were US and UK people. Then it was discovered that they were held since 2012 and 2013.  Although both governments were aware of it the US still supplied ‘rebels’ with missiles and  the UK chemicals which can be used to produce chemical weapon.

The whole scenario came to a head when a chemical weapon was dropped on Ghouta a suburb of Damascus, in Syria. Mr Assad was accused of using chemical weapons which he denied. The US Secretary of State John Kerry was urging, with all his might, to attack Syria. UK Prime Minister David Cameron agreed and they were heading for a full out war, maybe even with chemical weapon.

In the eleven hours, so to speak, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov intervened and made Mr Assad to hand over all his stock of chemical weapons to be destroyed which was within a year.

An UN special team went to Syria and investigated.  As of today, the report was never published. It makes you wonder what is going on there. The UN supposed to be neutral and no matter which side dropped the weapon it should have been published.

It has now been revealed that ISIS has chemical to produce weapons and it is assumed about 20 tons of it. They are producing them and it is not known where the chemical came from; or at least so it had been said.

Prime Minister David Cameron started bombing the ISIS in 2014 even so the MPs voted against it. His decision could have wide reaching implication. Especially now that Russia started to get involved and President Vladimir Putin decided to increase military back-up of President Bashar Assad. Libya and Iran are also on his side.

It is hard to accept that America will not stop interfering in other countries and the reason for it; if American stops or slows down their armoury production their economy will go down too.

Since Sept 14, 2014 the US-led-coalition launched air raids. At the same time they are supplying 5,000 ‘moderate rebels’ to fight the IS on the ground of Syria.  There is no such thing as a ‘moderate rebel’. It is another smoke screen.
.
One news might be good in a strange way. el-Qaeda’s leader  Ayman al-Zawahiri decided to attack ISIS because their leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi claimed to be the leader of all Muslims.  Everybody agrees that ISIS got out of hand.

So far 4million Syrian fled which is one of the largest exodus in modern times and 20,000 dead and it mainly increased since 2013 when the situation deteriorated.
A further 7,6million Syrians have been displaced within Syrian.

A report published by the UN in May 2015 stated an estimated loss in economy was $202billion. Looking at all these figures in human and financial loss emphasizes the madness of war.

The supporting Kurd militia seek to defend three autonomous enclosures in the north of Syria.

Already the last time, after the chemical weapon was dropped, John Kerry kept putting fuel to the fire by shouting about 1,500 people died even so the experts from the doctors who were there at the time said that it was around 500.  UK PM David Cameron also added by stating he was ready to send warships and air supplies. The Russian put their foot on the fuse which was slowly burning towards another World War.  The people, who always suffer most, kept holding their breath.

Now, instead of John Kerry having learnt his lesson keeps pushing it again to an all out confronting. When the Russian appeared on the scene to back-up Assad then John Kerry started to change his tune. He stated that a diplomatic solution is always best. He now will fly to Moscow to a meeting with the Russian government.

The US has about 50 million starving and homeless people but John Kerry managed for Congress to agree to $500million to supply the ‘moderate rebels’.

The UK has over one billion starving and homeless people and three million unemployed but there is hundreds millions available for war.

It is absolute lunacy and every one in the street agrees with the new Labour leader Mr Corbyn when he wants to stop war. Look at Switzerland. A neutral country and a fine example of prosperity; having only a reserve army.

JEREMY CORBYN LABOUR NEW LEADER



He won it by 60 per cent out of 400,000 votes. Mr Corbyn has now the hard task to pick the right people for his Shadow Cabinet Ministers.

His number of promises certainly gave him the majority of votes. His plans are:



As a self-described democratic socialist, Corbyn has advocated the re-nationalisation of public utilities and railways, re-opening coal mines, combating corporate tax evasion and avoidance as an alternative to austerity, abolishing university tuition fees and restoring student grants, an unilateral policy of nuclear disarmament and cancellation of the Trident nuclear weapons programmequantitative easing to fund infrastructure and renewable energy projects, and reversing cuts to the public sector and welfare made since 2010 by the government of David Cameron. He is also a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, the Palestine Solidarity CampaignAmnesty International, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the National Chair of the Stop the War Coalition. (Wikipedia)

n general bringing back equality to the UK. He has certainly all the right boxes ticked and hopefully he achieves them all.

Since Prime Minister David Cameron and his Tory Party riding rough-shots across the general party it certainly needs a man like Jeremy Corbyn to stop them. Already the Tories spreading smears and lies stating that Mr Corbyn plans to axe the.Army. He really said was that he axed the Nuclear weapons and it would be nice if there was no army and peace across the world. The full speech can be read in the Daily Mirror which he gave on 26 October, the anniversary of the Atom Bomb.

Jeremy Corby is a MP at Islington North and was a backbencher all those years from 1983. He is known for giving answers he believes in and not answers to get votes. Sometimes it even went against the Labour Party but there again it was Tony Blair at that time.

Mr Corbyn is known as left-wing but left-wing or right-wing as long it pulls the Labour party back onto the road it was famous for. Tony Blair with blinding the public with “New Labour” almost dismantling the original Labour Party.  It turned out that he was nothing but a Thatcherite. Why he never joined the Tories straight away is a good question?

Now Mr Corbyn seems to face all the problems the Tories created and bring back the Labour to care for the people again. As Mr Corbyn stated in one of his speeches when someone accused him to bring the country back to the 1980 he replied: “No, I bring it back to the 1970s when Harold Wilson and James Callaghan were in power. Harold Wilson was the only Prime Minister who did not follow the US He refused to join in when the US declared war on Vietnam.  He also paid down the National Debts. James Callaghan was praised by The Guardian for the best Prime Minister since Attlee.

The most important fact is now that the Labour MPs are unite behind Mr Corbyn and bring the Party back to its full glory which would win the next election.  MPs, no matter which party, seem to have one ambition to climb the ladder and fill their own pocket; instead to support their leader and work together to bring prosperity to the country and its people. As Mr Corbyn said a few days ago that MPs are hopping in and out of limousines, go to big dinners. In his opinion that is not what MPs suppose to be there for. They should work for the people who voted them in.

Mr Corbyn does not give that impression and maybe it was also a point which brought him the win of Labour Leadership. People have more than their full share of MPs and leaders living in luxuries while demanding austerity. The gap between rich and poor has widened almost to the Victories ages.  The public is on widespread starvation, homelessness, over 1,000 food banks to keep them alive and thousands committed suicide or died of starvation while the millionaires and billionaires doubled and trebled their wealth in the last four years.

With Mr Corbyn it seems like a new dawn and hope has broken because he is known as a hard man when he wants to achieve his plans, speaks his minds and believes in it. He also plans to give other Labour MPs a chance to speak at Prime Minister’s Question Time in the House of Commons.  If the Labour MPs have the sense to unite behind him Labour not only brings back the Britain which it was famous for but also the original Labour Party.

NEW ANTI-STRIKE LAWS ISSUED Update 15 Jan., 2017



Update 15 Jan., 2017 --
Theresa May new Prime Minister is again planning to make anti-strike law. It followed her grant sounding speech after the New Year including  promise of creating a more equality nation. Well it proved her words are just words as with Cameron. Furthermore, despite NHS is in worst crisis further cuts had been planned.

Britain has already the most restricted anti-strike law in the Western world.

Newly elected Tory Business Secretary Sajid Javid promised to unveiled plans to make it even harder for trade unionists to take strike actions. The new law will allow employers to take agency staff during a strike to replace workers taking strike actions. This is a great folly and will be costing twice as much. Will the government pay for it but it will be no surprise they charge it to the taxpayers as they did with their election campaign?

At the moment the anti-strike legislation demands to have a 40 per cent support from the workers. Javid wants to have it increased to 50 per cent.

Sarah Sachs-Eldridge of the Socialists Party said: “David Cameron incoming Conservatism Government was elected by just 24 per cent of the electorates would not even be in Downing Street if the same law would have applied to them.  The calculation of the Tory government is that they can effectively outlaw strikes in the public sector.  However, they may well be over-reaching themselves in their euphoria of their narrow victory.  The root causes of industrial actions, low bullying at work, long hours, zero-hours-contract, etc cannot be wished away by an act of Parliament. The consequences of the proposal will be widespread anger. The Socialist Party will be campaigning energetically for action, to defend the right to strike.”

=================================================

PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
=================================================


The Labour Party and Unions will be joining.

After five years of the previous government Tory and LibDem the living standard dropped dramatically because of the decreasing payments.

At the same time the 650 MPs had a pay rise of 11 per cent and will receive this year another £7,000.
Rich people doubled and trebled their fortune in the last three years, according to the Telegraph.

The move to increase anti-strike legislation is no surprise to any one and at least to the Union. It must the first action the newly formed Cabinet made.

RMT General Secretary Mike Cash said: “It was on the cards that this government, a wholly owned subsidiary of idle rich and bad bosses, will move to tighten the noose of the anti-union laws around the workers’ necks at the earliest opportunity.

“This proposed new form of law will mean one form of democracy for the greedy political class and another for the organised working class.

“The Trade Unions will unite to fight these attacks.”

TORIES WHEELS STARTED TURNING ALREADY - Update: 20 May, 2015


UPDATE:  20 May, 2015 -- New Report states that a great number of Community Police Officers are to be axed. They were established to patrol the streets to keep the crime down, to keep in touch with the public and give the real Police Officers more time to deal with bigger crimes. 

Already Tory’s wheels started to turn. It seems they can not wait to turn on the full speed. The last time with the coalition of LibDem, which did stopped the Tories a number of times, they could not so easily put through their many evil plans. Now with having the majority and do not need a Coalition they will be going full speed ahead.

The Daily Mirror already suggested six plans where the Tories will cutback.

1)      Benefit will be capped to £23,000 per year for each family.  It will hit family badly where there are a number of children and it will be the children who will suffer. They were planning this before but the Coalition demanded a £26,000. It will hit families in inner cities where the rents are high.

2)      State will be given new power to invade privacy of ordinary people.  This plan was on the agenda before but the LibDem blocked it. Now the Tories have the majority it will be back. Police will now have power to monitor your browsing and private messages.

3)      Under 21 years will be exempt from claiming Housing Benefit. Charities announced already that this move will get more people homeless and living on the street.  The bedroom tax will help in a roundabout way these youngsters because some families will rent out to cover the tax instead of losing their home.

4)      Referendum on EU membership. Business people already complaining of the uncertainty and it will be two years of expensive time wasting dither.  Well this time they cannot blame Labour. It was the Tories including Cameron who kept announcing it.

5)      Fox hunting will be legalised

6)      Another old dream of Cameron to be revived is changing the constituencies’ borders. The last time again it was LibDem to stop it. This move is obviously in favour of the Tories and already preparing for the next General Election trying to ensure another win.  Labour would lose 20 seats. It would also mean there will be more MPs and more salaries and expenses. At the moment the expense bill was in 2014 for £103million; more than at the peak of the expense scandal in 2009. The austerity is a con to the public. MPs got a 10 percent rise.

Tory’s voters well done but you will not be off the hook because this is only the beginning and the real big bang is still to come from the Department of Work and Pension when Ian Duncan Smith drops his sharpened axe. There is a £12billion cuts prophesied.  It should have made the people prick up their ears especially when the Tories avoided with all their tricks to answer where the axe will fall and for how much.  On a whole they are planning a cut of at least £28billion stated by the Chancellor George Osborne well before the election.

The remaining £16billion of the sum of £28billion will most probably be cuts in council and public service and that will also affect the Tory’s voters who thought joining the elite will give them a winner and exemption from hardship suffered by ordinary people. To some it will be a winner on tax relief if they are in the higher salary bracket.

Another point should be stated about the cons and lies from the Tories about austerity. Convinced the public of the only way to reducing the debts and deficit for introducing austerity. The only thing it reduced was the credit rating for Britain which brought it down to place six. Despite of austerity the Tories managed to add £500billion to the National debts and had the audacity to say that Labour brought them into debts. Labour never made so many debts in all their time they had been in power.

As for accussing Ed  Miliband stabbing his own brother  in the back the Tories are champions in back stabbing the public as well as their own MPs. Did they not promise not to close the A&E in Enfield and then weeks after that Cameron did it. So were all the others closure of A&E but promised before not to. The whole NHS was promised in the last election 2010 and in 2015 again that it would be save in their hands and look back what happened. All the other promises were also never kept and Cameron had the audacity to repeat them.   Is that not the biggest backstabbing there ever was?



As for Labour’s bad economy look at the chart above which is from the Office of National Statistics and even Cameron can not argue with that or white wash. It shows that Labour brought the economy back within a year from -2.5 GDP to +0.5 GDP while the Tories managed to have two recession brought on by them.  The truth is he won on nothing but smears and lies.

By right the General Election should be held again because they won under false pretences and before the Tory run the country completely into the ground.

The tax Credit Cuts were never in their manifesto and their promised to invest  £8billion into the NHS every year which has not happened. are only two of a number of failings.

ROTHERHAM CHILDREN ABUSE FILES GONE "MISSING"


ROTHERHAM TOWN HALL
This is a greatest insult to the 1,400 children being abused by vile men. Apparently the locks had not been tampered with and therefore it points to an inside job. It adds to the other files gone missing within the Home Office of a sex ring within the Parliament. PM David Cameron is still looking for it. It was handed in during Margaret Thatcher’s time to the Home Office Secretary Leon Brittan.

These missing documents were reports from 2002 – 2012.  If the police done their jobs from the start many children would have been saved from the ordeal. These people who are responsible to let it run on for 16 years have no idea what it means for a child to be raped and definitely did not care. There must have been some devastating evidence in in those files to go the length to remove it; they certainly did even one better by it. There must be a very vile group involved in all of this to hurt these victims all over again and just to protect themselves.

As for the Home Office Secretary Theresa May shouting for an inquiry and yet another inquiry which always cost the taxpayers a lot of money while every body earns on it and not one inquiry resulted yet into the truth, is a waste of time and money. Instead of hand it over to the police and give them a free hand, yes a free hand. She has not yet found the “missing” files which had gone "missing" from her own backyard from Leon Brittan’s time.

Another failed promise from PM David Cameron --  Transparency.

At Rotherham Borough Council and Police there seemed to be one scandal after another emerging and as the MPs pointed out, only too rightly, that is looks another cover-up. An appalling situation presented to the public who do not accept any excuses any more.

Rotherham council leader Paul Lakin said: “He had asked for a through internal investigation into the missing file." These 1,400 victims deserve justice tone.

And a South Yorkshire Police spokesman added: “The force accepts and will implement the recommendations and conclusions from the select committee report and already commissioned an independent investigation into child sexual exploitation.”

Home Office spokesmen said: “Mrs May has been very clear that what happened in Rotherham amounted to a total dereliction of duty by the authorities. The Home Secretary is leading cross-government work to learn the lessons of Rotherham and has written to all chief constables stressing the highest standard must be met in tackling child sexual exploitation. She also made it clear that there is a debate to be had on the issue of PCC recall.” Does the Home Secretary Theresa May get anything ever right? Her record is not great.

The public heard all those “fine” words before whenever there is a scandal and wewill hear them again the next time but there has never been any improvement. It is a shame but has to be said that the public lost all belief in this Government and police.

A child abuse of over 1.400 lasting 16 years and now to crown it all the files gone “missing” is beyond any acceptance.
