campaign against welfare cuts and poverty

Was going to say something similar, closest cbt came to that for me was in gathering positive evidence in your life and using that evidence to help change how you think, which is miles away from blind positive thinking.

That's certainly part of it, but only really a small part. After all, that's really not much of a step up from "pull yourself together and snap out of it" (almost certainly what Tory therapy would look like!) :D

So Hoban kicked out and replaced by the hideous drone McVey, Mark Prisk also shown the door.

Byrne off shadow bench as well, no news on who is replacing him as yet. Stephen Twigg also demoted apparently.
 
Jim Murphy(partly responsible for ESA) moved out of defence, hope he doesn't get shadow Works/Pensions

Byrne stays as HE minister, poor students.

Sue Marsh seems to think Bryne going is a disaster as "at least he now understands the issues"

I think there is some truth in that, but he would stick to neo-liberal proscriptions

Byrne may understand the issues, but he has no appreciation of them, and no compassion.

btw Rachel Reeves tipped for his job, another economist

So, same shit, different arseholes.

btw2, wonder if Hoban will spill the beans on the incompetence of Duncan Smith.

Unlikely. Hoban is fairly young and may still have a ministerial career in front of him. He's not going to queer his pitch just to drop Dunked-in Shit in it.
 
Diane Abbot sacked not moved "due to disloyalty"

yet JIm Murphy who led on Defence who was most likely briefing against Ed, only moved, then again it was to Int Development, blessed are the peacemakers, how ironic!
 
New benefit bashing programme, Monday, Channel 5(owned by the pornographer Desmond) "On Benefits and proud of it"

who needs Pravda when the 'free press' will do it.

https://www.facebook.com/AbolishBedroomTaxOrPrepareForBritainsCivilWar2013

Sadly "Abolish Bedroom Tax" FB site also seems to be endorsing this crap, some of the comments are horrendous, and may be illegal, the war continues.

Interesting to see Dave Balfe(Teardrop Explodes/Food records) sticking up for claimants in the comments, few celebs do, and he must have a few bob.

why not join him, post on the site...

Personally, I'm an advocate of an unconditional citizens income, but the principle of our current, so called ''contributory'' welfare system should be that If an individual has been paying X amount of tax for Y amount of years & suddenly loses their job, then he/she is fully entitled to sit on their bum, do nothing, & claim X amount of benefits for Y amount of years without having to worry about about the DWP hassling them, nor about judgmental little turds wagging their fingers at them.

Only once you've claimed back what you've paid in, can the state then start attaching conditionality to the receipt of the benefit. That *should* be the principle of a contributory system in theory, but thanks to said judgemental little turds, in practice that isn't the reality, & people are expected to ''work'' for a benefit that some have already bloody well worked many years for. :mad:
