This conservative government and the ConDem coalition before them, perpetuate shameful policies to (a) create division within society and (b) ensure that the cost of housing in both the private and rented sectors remains artificially high.Divide and rule has always been the credo of the "establishment" in their dealings with ordinary people. It is a vile strategy executed by dispicable politicians to benefit their supporters and benefactors.In the meantime, more and more people are forced into homelessness because they are not able to afford the ever increasing burden of rents or the spiraling costs of house purchase. The National Audit Office criticises the government, reporting a sharp rise in homelessness over the past five years,brought about by increasing private sector rents and cuts in housing benefit.

The report goes on to state that homelessness has increased every year since 2010, with rises in rough sleeping and households living in temporary accommodation. This situation is a direct result of government policies,which are subsidising high cost private housing for sale, to the exclusion of building affordable homes for low income families, for rent or assisted purchase.

This callous indiference towards sections of our society, is an abdication of government responsibility and is directly responsible for growing numbers of people living in tents pitched on small areas of waste ground, or sleeping in doorways of shops or other public areas or living in totally inadequate "temporary accommodation". It is a situation whch no civilised should tolerate in the 21st Century. In many ways, this government is producing housing conditions not seen in the United Kingdom since the 1930's. It is a situation which we must resolutely resist and vigorously oppose.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
