Why the lib-dems are shit

Doesn't appear to be a thread specifically about school cuts so i'll just park this here for now - hidden away in the bit of the paper no one reads yesterday:

Rich schools to get richer under spending plans

This was on the radio as well; at least one of the Radio 4 news programmes. So what we have is a double whammy of dishonesty; no extra money for education and some 'take from the poor and give to the rich' with the introduction of the regressive pupil premium.

The Lib Dems not so much the dented shield of the coalition more their cowardly, lying, pickpocket.

Don foster (libdem for bath) just removed his pre election pledge to vote against tutition fee increases from his website.

The lying scumbag.
 
nice to see the legal aid cut affecting people who feel that they have been fucked over by the DWP. Progress. New politics.
 
It's great, they've launched an attack that will potentially lead to legal challenges to various decisions whilst removing the ability of those effected to use the law.
 
It's the big society in action: if you want to get help with court costs, pass the hat around everyone you know. They all become stakeholders in the outcome of the trial and that is something we can all be rightly proud of. Progressive. Fair. Legal representation.. </sarcasm>

Except it bloody well isn't :mad:
 
"He also suggested the Lib Dems had just one chance to change the voting system." hmmm... i wonder why that might be?
 
that link said:
Nick Clegg and the other Lib Dem negotiators called for a "a commitment not to raise the cap on tuition fees" (a watered-down version of their manifesto pledge to phase out tuition fees over six years), a cut in the number of government ministers, a four year fixed-term parliament and "a commitment to no public subsidy for nuclear power stations". All of these pledges have since been broken by the government.

Is anyone opposing this shit?

Anyone in the three main political parties? A handful of solitary MPs.

In the wider community? Just about every CAB, law centre and other advice-giving organisation out there. Doesn't matter though. However many representations are made against the legal aid cuts, they're unlikely to be reversed. Legal aid has been the source of far too much legislation that's inimical to poor employment practices and bad practice by central and local government to be allowed to carry on. And it's mostly used by the working class and the underclass. What makes us think we deserve access to something that makes our lives easier, ffs?

Massively unpopular and hugely concerning amonst the welfare rights advice/benefits information giving professional community I've been told by festivaldeb, who knows ... ;)

I appreciate this is niche opposition .... :(

Not really "niche", Will. It affects any and all advice-giving organisations across the board, from local law centres to national ones like Age UK, anyone who refers cases from people who have no money up the legal food-chain.
