There you go . .
North Korea is one weird f**kin' place !
Total control and extra minutes to ensure. A home win, is this Alex ferguzons new job?
To think North Korea didn't qualify despite Kim Jong Wilde having a magic mobile phone with the dead glorious leader giving team training from beyond the grave. Probably didn't work because the network coverage is probably not up to scratch, bloody Yodaphone
Somebody needs a reality check!
'Braves' ffs?
God it's pathetic isn't it?
Unable to work because of a crippling illness, Stephanie Bottrill was already struggling to survive before the hated Bedroom Tax came in.
But Iain Duncan Smith's punishing new payments were the last straw for the tragic 53-year-old who killed herself to avoid plunging into further poverty after being hit with an £80 a month bill for the two spare bedrooms in her council house.
And last night her distraught son Steven begged David Cameron to scrap the tax to stop anyone else being driven to suicide.
It ain't a tax it's a reduction in a rate of benefits.
Housing benefit has been a black hole in the benefits budget for years; funding people subletting rooms or just occupying bigger homes than they need. The only ones profiting being greedy landlords.
Or giving families on benefits the rights to have multiple rooms for kids in diferetn properties (even if they have their own flipping homes)
sorry cuts have to be made some where. And if this unfortnuate woman wasnt better supported or advised by friends, families then I am sorry.
She wasn't even claiming her full slate of benefits.
I loath how the left seem to be colonising every suicide like some f**king death cult.
People kill themselves for all sorts of reasons not just because the government suggests they don't need 2 empty bedrooms.
Thatcher sold off the council houses in the 80's and didn't use the money to build new social housing. The housing benefit goes straight into the pockets of the private landlords. The claimants don't see a penny of it.
A single person has to pay a suppliment for living in a two bedroom property, but there are hardly any single bedroom properties available.
The changes to housing benefit legislation have been poorly and ineptly thought through. Certainly pushing people into single properties is mean spirited and short sighted (what happens if they have kids, marry or want to care for an elderly relative?) the messing with disabled people is stupid and something the government seems addicted to/
But the core problem it's adressing is still there. People claiming housing benefit for over sized properties and blocking council houses.
It's one where I wish those who protest their anger would aim it more carefully.
And council housing was not the shangrila its been made out to be.
A woman is dead because she could no longer afford to live in her tiny world,as her home was deemed as being to big for her.
She may have walked into rooms and remembered the laughter of her children and the life they led. From her window she may have seen people she had known all her life in the community she loved.
But she didn't understand things she never even claimed all that she could have got.
She wrote notes to her children left the house tidy returned the keys and committed suicide.
As for the twenty quid involved those that implemented this tariff spend more on lunch, whilst others see it as a way of reducing a trillion pound deficit.
If the family can't afford the burial they should ask their local Starbucks to chip in.
Evil and pathetic
The eighth richest country in the world, with some of the smallest houses in the Europe. Public school elites who live in ridiculous large houses tax people on benefits because they have a spare room. The poor are once more made scapegoats of bankers, politicians and vested interests. People who were encouraged to borrow more than they could afford are punished whilst those who did the encouraging get away Scott free. This tragic death is a symptom of a society that is rotten to its core, and that rot runs both deep and to the very heart of the establishment. With every day we learn more about both our recent past and present that can only make you speculate just how corrupt, how many cover ups and many vested interests have been protected by this country and others that purport to be moral world leaders.
