...the DWP has succeed it under THatcher, she abolished SS in the early 1980s.
I'm not of an opinion that New Labour would have willfully employed ATOS to do things negatively, the Civil Service however within the DWP would be another kettle of fish. I think the Civil Service are 90% of the...
...and the need to be tough on them, accompanied by sanctions.
And the abolition of Incapacity Benefit and introduction of work capability assessments run by ATOS was legislated into existence under New Labour. The Tories ran with this enthusiastically but they didn't create it. New Labour did.
Can't manage to do the parliament thing, but the horse racing, then naming a train line after herself, fucking manages that with no issue, is ATOS on the case with this scrounger?
One theory I read was that Putin sent them to the most dangerous area in the East so they'd get wiped out so no embarrassing war crime trials if they got captured.

We must...
Absolutely.
The flip side is recognising that most of us are not in this war. We are (mostly) commenting from the sidelines.
I don't know "the answer" is either. I doubt there is one. I also doubt whether "we" need to find it.
thing is it's all very well saying stuff like 'no war but the class war' (and i agree) but its a bit of an abstract slogan in this context, since there is a war there, whether you like it or not. and advocating that people didn't fight or fought 'on a class basis' would basically be taken to...
