Unemployed now being given Starvation Rations in UK

Alright, you need to do something besides construct dangerous armchair conspiracy theories out of corporate propaganda.

The facts are very easy to find. You can't call it socialism when we are engaged in the greatest fascist revival since the the Beer Hall Putch.

The reality is this: 50% of the total population of the United States now fights for less than 15% of the total wealth. The top 20% own over 85% of all the wealth.

So this is Socialism?

So, it's more like trying to get social justice don't you think?

There are some leaders of industry that have spoken up, but guess what? They too have been marginalized. The truth is we don't have any ethical leaders of industry. None of them give a damn about either the employees that served them or even the nation that allowed them to become who they became.

Stop attacking and kicking people who are already down and waving the flag for multinational corporations, because that is what you are actually doing but you think it's the poor people that have brought the nation down. Nothing is further from the truth.

"a people who are entirely lacking in economic self-determination,
either personal or local, and who are therefore entirely passive in
dealing with the suppliers of all their goods and services, including
political goods and services, cannot be governed democratically--or
not for long."
-Wendell Berry

God, I'd be in heaven. Of course, weather becomes the most important thing in your life, at that point.

Now this is actually Socialism, the same kind they had in the Eastern Block. The kind where you had a job assigned to you, like it or not, that's what you are advocating.

The kind of nice society where freedom of picking a job isn't an option. I've paid plenty of money to the state so I have a right to unemployment if I need it, or if I need anything else, because if the state can't provide that much then they sure as hell don't need to provide red light camera's: Of which several cities have now been caught for shorting the time in order to generate more tickets!

So, fine, you want to cut people off at the knees? Fine, then cut the fucking state off as well. If they can't even see to the physical well being of the people they are supposed to exist to serve then they don't deserve to exist either.

Get the fuck out of here with your corporate sponsored Nazi bullshit!

welfare bums claim sickness benefit!
us people on the dole want a job, but are only quizzed on what we are doing to look for work... not helped.
All people on the dole now have to go to an agency who don't help you get a proper job because they are paid by the gov to get you off the dole by any means! This means that the likes of myself are sent for unsuitable jobs.
Example: I have a bad skin condition (and i don't go on the sick because of it) so they send me for jobs in places that produces or serves food! A waste of everybody's time, who would employ me to serve food and would you want to be served by me? I don't think so! But if i ask about training for a digital tacho card (so i can drive 7.5t vehicles fitted with tacho's) they say there is no funding, even though i have a 30yo clean licence, and experience in this field, but can't get the paperwork to do this!

Yep...the Carter years. Home loans at 12%. I worked at Crocker Bank...21% interest rates on 100k Jumbo loans for 30 days. Those little old ladies made a killing, so I thought. I didn't realize how highI inflation was, though, since I was a mere 21 y/o. Amazing. Oh, that's also why not to trust credit unions. Levi Strauss' credit union deposited all it's funds into our bank. No place will be safe, if there is a bank run. Food, Water, Metals, Gas, batteries, propane,Gun, Amo. I was thinking of getting a CB radio, too...

wonder who's paying the funding for this?

See it's bullshit! I don't think they have jobs or enough of them and instead they cycle bullshit like they have jobs. This keeps them looking good like they are trying to help people. In the USA the USA jobs has posting for Equipment Operators but they are supposedly part of the Police and Firefighter rules where you can't be over 37 years old. Complete bullshit. Like operating a bulldozer on a fireline or a logging road is so demanding you have to retire by age 55. Consequently, while construction is heavily hit with unemployment, men that need jobs can't even qualify despite 10, 20, or 30 years of experience! They can pass all the jobs bills they want but if they can't get these stupid human resouce assholes to wake up then they might as well give up.

didn't expect to see this yet

I'd rather KEEP MY HARD-EARNED MONEY to benefit my own family.

Yes and many here are talking big, bold, and mean. All the little peons, all on the same boat. You aren't going to swim away from this one.

since when? when i was unemployed my advisor 'helped' me look for suitable jobs

Not that I do not feel for the UK, but, Americans have been choosing between food and bills...food and meds...food and heat...for quite some time, now. No Sally Struthers trying to help American kids who are starving or homeless or who cannot afford medical treatment...and YES there are people like that here. No countries rushing to help us. There are tons of people who fall through the cracks and have nothing and get nothing! Instead, we have the welfare abusers collecting welfare in many states and who have lived on welfare for generations. Those who really need it in a crisis will never get it.

You don't have the first clue of WTF you're talking about. Social justice - what a concept. that means take hard-earned money from all those millionaires and billionaires - you know, the same evil bastards that make $200K a year - and give it to lazy ass mother fuckers who'd rather sit on the couch doing bong hits and whining about how fucked they are than get a job or start their own business.

There are all kinds of ethical business owners out here in the real world, but government fucks them up the ass with a 10" strap-on when they pass all kinds of expensive regulations that only the big guys can afford to comply with. So, don't give me your "no ethical" industry leaders. Get government the fuck out of everyone's life and let small business do what it does best - service customer need - and watch jobs take off.

Those who voted these socialist bastards into office (0bama and his gang of thieving demoncraps) ARE THE ONES WHO ARE BRINGING THIS NATION DOWN. Social welfare is a prison. Once on it, nobody wants to give up the free shit, so they stay poor so they can prove they need it. Then, demoncraps threaten them with having conservatives take it away and force them to vote for more socialism.

They egg them on with class warfare - just like what you're doing right fucking now.

Get a life.

oh fuckoff, just because you cant get a job doesnt make you a 'bum'. Try living off 60 quid a week, see what sort of life that is. Dont believe the media hype, i was out of work for nearly a year and its horrible, not the free-ride everyone thinks it is.

Often what we want and what they do is two different things but neither need happen. Everyone can keep their tax monies (most of which the govt would keep or use for wars) and the homeless would still be cared for as they always have been.

I AGREE 100% with AC1555198 so true!!!

i have seen these sorts of threads on glp but they always turn into racist flame threads with trolls popping up left right and centre.

If there are going to be bailouts it is better the money went to the people than the corporations.

This, ill-regardless of what country. In the States, a State has the power to be "socialist". Even then, once upon a time.. private charities did most of the work. I don't get how a private charity would require a stamp from some gov't office... Its sounding almost like how some places here make it illegal to feed the homeless.

It is people of many colors who do it..plain and simple..I do not want my comment to become racist topic. That was not the point!!!

Arguing over scraps as the war machine sucks you dry and subdues the planet. For what? For who? Fools.

It's a good thing we are not in a Depression.


They would tell us, right?

of course they would...nothing to see here...

I know(hope) you were being sarcastic!!! :)

yep because many people cannot see how the rich/poor divide system works for those at the top. noone would choose to be poor but for us all to be equal and living comfortably would mean they wouldnt have a rule over us.

You'll be singing a different tune when you become unemployed. We need to help each other. They WILL take it all away from all of us. If we don't stand together, we fall.

Divide and conquer

Big freaking deal...let them deal with the chit like the USA and AU have since the beginning. Fuck the Queen.

Many Britons face a stark choice: starvation or feeding themselves by begging or stealing.

The real problem is that people put their faith in corrupt demonic government systems, instead of putting their faith and trust in God Almighty. (Jesus)

I put my faith and trust in the Lord and to tell you the truth, He provides everything for me, takes care of all my needs, provides in abundance.

My advice is turn to God and ask Him for help, stop sinning and pray, if you do it properly you will see God Almighty in action and all your troubles will be gone.

He is mighty and nothing is impossible for Him.

Turn to God, He takes very good care of His children.

I love Him.


Leviticus 26:1 I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God. 2 Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. 3 If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons. 4 And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit. 5 The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.

6 I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters. 7 You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you. 8 Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9 I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

10 You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old. 11 I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off. 12 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.


14 But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments, 15 If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant: 16 I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies. 17 I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.


18 But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins, 19 And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass: 20 Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

21 If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins: 22 And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.

23 And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me: 24 I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins. 25 And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies, 26 After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.

27 But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me: 28 I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins, 29 So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters. 30 I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.


31 Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours. 32 And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof. 33 And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.

Well, it's time for them to join the world.
