  1. Was Kiffy the guy who tried to white-knight the other porn thread we had?

    Not white knighted nah, it was the wrestling vs porn - which is more fucked up thread. I said porn, still do.I have heard some back story to the video I posted, and the director who directed which is that she really wasn't ok with how rough the whole thing was, and what you see isn't acting.But I guess I could be wrong.
  2. Yeah, this government that raised the tax threshold to ten grand, taking many of the lowest earners in thr country out of income tax altogether? In between the Tories deliberately trying to brutalise the working classes etc etc, a few decent Lib Dem policies have crept through, and that's one of them.

     

    It is, to be fair, a good move. In some ways the destruction of the lib dems is a real shame, I really did have time for alot of their policies. But they're fucked for at least a generation after hooking up with the tories. But really, the bigger point of the massive gap between the top 5% and the 95% underneath it is hardly affected by it. If anything it allows the status quo to continue more easily.

     

    In lighter news, the EDL leader continues to have trouble with the british laws he wants to defend, up in court again for assault http://www.lakelandecho.co.uk/news/north-w...sault_1_3818784 could another prison stretch be in the cards?

  3. Ya know what?

    I can't help noticing a more than coincedental similarity between young tommy and our previous moron young happ hazzard, I have a feeling he's going to ignore the things that just got explained to him and pop up spouting rubbish in the same way in a day or two in a very similar fashion.

    Could be wrong of course, but that's very unlike me.

    Erm, how is that any different to what you do?

     

    And I have not, nor never been called happ hazzard.

     

    I just think its bollocks that this kid gets to portray himself as a working-class hero when his dad was a millionaire and chose to splurge all his money on houses and private education instead of thinking about the future.

     

    But he didn't though, this has already been pointed out to you by numerous peopleand you're just too thick too bother understanding it. He pointed out that without the buffer affect the welfare state gave him and his family, he'd be fucked. This has been explained to you numerous times but you just won't hear or respond to it, and can repeating the same shit over and over again.

    That's how what you're doing is different to me, cos I'll debate things back and forward and actually listen and respond to the other chaps opinions.

    And that's why I'm starting to become quite convinced you're young happ, if not you're doing a good enough impression of him to be considered a twat of a similar order.

  5. When over 40% of decisions against disability living allowance are overturned on appeal, and dr's are starting to speak out that people they know are unable to work are being found fit to do so. It's not just cutting down on people taking the piss, it's hammering the most vulnerable people in society to save money.

     

    Links please.

     

    From first hand experience of this in the last few weeks, the DWP isnt doing their job properly anyway. My DLA application was apparently considered on my application form and a letter from my GP, but the decision and the explanation given as to why it was refused after previously being successful, bore no relation to a condition that hasnt changed from the last application and potentially got worse with the addition of depression and continual problems of broken toe which has set me back months. It looks like for all intents and purposes that they havent read or completely ignored the form. One of the reasons given for the rejection is that Iam not at risk of falling. Now it was made plane in the form that I broke my toe by falling down the stairs because of my condition that leaves me unsteady on my feet and affects my balance, this is backed up by what I've said to two different hospitals and my GP and as far as Iam aware the various medicals Ive had, but it was completely disregarded or not even considered in the first instance

     

    Usually it takes 8-11 weeks to assess, mine took over 14 and no specialists were contacted, they didnt look at the ESA medical or ESA advice who have declared me unfit to work on grounds of disability and clearly they havent read the form at all when making their decision. A phone reconsideration (when its clear the advisor I was talking to wasnt actually listening to what I said) will take another 8-11 weeks despite them having all the contact information and medical stuff at hand ( I even included copies of my specialist letters confirming diagnosis and what I can and cant do) and if that fails it can take up to 1 year to appeal ( which will be done at a public tribunal if it gets that far) Farce doesnt cover it.

     

    I said earlier in this thread that I didnt expect to get it, but the delays, the complete lack of anything and the ignorance shown is beyond a joke. So at present Im living on c 300 pounds a month because, they cant be bothered to do their jobs properly and not afaik due to any changes in the system and the way in which things are handled.

     

    If you agree with the point I'm making why do you need links?

    You're a perfect example of someone being shit on by the system who is clearly being refused benefits for no good reason! You are one of my links!

    There's another one.

    The attack on the benefits of people who are clearly unfit to work is possibly the most foul thing being perpetrated by our current government, I have a feeling you misread my point!

  6. For sure. The problem is, it also still acts somewhat was a poverty trap. I know a chap who's got 3 kids, and was working for a low wage, supported by various benefits. He got a pay rise at work which took him over some invisible margin, and lost a load of benefits, and ended up about 60 quid a week worse off.

     

    Whoever is in government, they need to work out a scaled approach to benefits that allows people to move progressively out of reliance on the state and back into full-time employ. At the moment it's too complicated, too expensive to regulate, and too inflexible.

     

    But how can those two things be acheivable? How can you regulate and ensure people are always going to be better off by working/doing better at work while making it simpler?

    The case in point being referred to here has no bearing to your point (the bloke's dad went bankrupt, desperately needed welfare, and may or may not be off it now, we don't know) but to answer your point. Yes it's ridiculous that working can leave you worse off than not working in some cases, but without further amendments to the system, and further regulation, you can't address that. And if you scrap it and start it again, you still have to factor in help for those who need it twinned against the necessity that people always do better when working. And that will be complicated and require large amounts of regulation.

  7. So the original problem tommy has was the suggestion that the kids family got everything from benefits, which he never said, now he's got a problem with him because when the family wasn't claiming benefits his dad was a hard working businessman.

    It does rather sound like you're keen to argue just for the sake of it tommy old boy. Bit o right wing bias perchance?

  8. The second dr, presumably that'd be the one from the start of this (or possibly last) series, with the flesh stuff out the vat which made a second dr. Certainly seems plausable that he managed to escape being as clever as the dr and stuff.

  9. When over 40% of decisions against disability living allowance are overturned on appeal, and dr's are starting to speak out that people they know are unable to work are being found fit to do so. It's not just cutting down on people taking the piss, it's hammering the most vulnerable people in society to save money.

    In addition to which, they are areas with very high unemployment where there simply aren't the jobs available, more so as we go further into recession. Ensuring those families have the welfare they need isn't taking the piss, it's basic humanity.

     

    Besides which you're taking his quote out of context, when his family lost everything it was the welfare which allowed them to keep going, without it they would have been fucked. So he owes everything to the welfare, not everything they've ever had has come from welfare.

     

     

  10. Also, there was a young dude who said something...well, quite worrying, really, at the conference the other day:

     

    I owe my entire well-being and that of my family to the welfare state.

     

    For real? And that's...good is it?

     

    It's awful, when families fall on hard times, as his did, it's vital that they get sent out on to the streets with nothing. Any other approach is simply encouraging the cunts, and we can't have that.

  11. This is the problem with politics in this country, and to be fair many others. There's loads of things fundamentally wrong with the tory, labour or lib dem (/tory?) policies. But the only noticeable alternatives are full of morons/mentalists/both.

    Depressing quite frankly.

  12. I did read in private eye that the episode written by, I think, Neil tenant, they didn't have the budget to do a new alien for him, so they just went with one of the ode's, or whatever it was called, as they had it in the stock room. That doesn't speak wildly highly of it.

    However, I quite like the new dr who, have done since it came back, it's not entirely fair to compare it to huge budget american shows like lost and the like cos it has a different demographic (kids, families, and nerds, rather than just nerds) but I still think it does the whole thing rather well.

  13. Smoking heroin? Does that count? That was defo my low point. The epitome of "what the fuck have I done".

     

    It never bothered me to much when I did that. Tried it once on its own and have to say, was one of the most boring drug experiences I've ever had, sitting around with two junkies with the only conversation being someone occassionally saying "This is nice gear," in between long periods of people saying nothing and scratching themselves. Dull.

    Smoked it to come down off crack as well and that was actually quite pleasant.

     

    But then neither of them really strike me as low points because I didn't get addicted, didn't lose jobs and steal to pay for them or anything of that ilk. It was just trying em out.

  14. Lol, yeah I misread your post there. But the link didn't say it was on green belt land when they bought it either, unless it did and I missed it. Happy to fess up if that's the case.

    Either way, it's entirely up to the council whether they allow building or don't, regardless of whether it's green belt, they're not allowing it, and let's be honest

    It does look like they'll get moved on, and turn up at ground they don't own somewhere and start the same shit all over again. So I still don't entirely see their getting moved on as having any benefits, the
