A series of original reports including the rebuttals of the lies being put out this past week against the poor in Britain by the DWP 'Secretary of State' David Blunkett and by the so-called Opposition Tory MP Edward Leigh , Factual evidence ce fo how DWP has been violating UK laws and international and Universal human rights laws against the involuntarily poor in the UK under Tony Blair
Is David Blunkett up to the job of even running the DWP let alone reforming ‘welfare and pensions’?
Evidence we have uncovered in England show the DWP is a mess and it is the DWP that has been committing the real fraud that allegedly amounts to ‘astronomical’ figures, the term misused by Tory MP Edward Leigh when he did a typically fraudulent job last week of attacking lawful claimants and people in poverty in Britain.
The consequences of these illegalities by the DWP and by the Ministers are bound to be far reaching and worrying for the whole of British society.
A composite piece based on agency files and other sources and as carried on the Scotsman website on Monday 17 October 2005 read as follows: -
Mr Blunkett "is focusing on the serious job of reforming pensions and welfare," said a spokesman for the minister. "He is not going to be distracted by these false allegations and innuendoes."
Let us then focus on Mr Blunkett’s ‘focusing on the serious job of reforming pensions and welfare’.
A reasonable interpretation of that claimed focus would mean that Mr Blunkett would by now be aware of the case of a man in his 50s who has been subjected to years of harassment by the Department for Work and Pensions through no fault of the man himself`?
After all, the man’s case is one of the most well known ones within the DWP!
The man is legally eligible to benefits because of ill health.
There is no assertion even by the DWP that there is any doubt about the man’s eligibility on health grounds.
Yet the DWP have stopped the man’s benefits.

just vote them out at the next election (snigger, snigger)

Never mind, you can always vote them out at the next election (snigger). With Blair getting absolute power with 2 out of 10 at the last one, I reckon by the next, Blair should easily lose if you can get 'minus six' out of ten people to vote for him.

Still waiting for you to give a breakdown of that "2 out of 10" statistic. It wouldn't surprise me, I just want to know how you got there so I can have a think about it.

Is 'voting out' the Blair party enough to get a just and democratic govt ?
18.10.2005 11:00
Look at the Tories, who are the obvious interests that will replace a defeated Blair party.
Can we get a better government with that lot?
What is n needed is for people to unite and abolish the existing three parties and make a movement so string that none of the 'mainstream' parties matter at all. That is, none of those parties can claim legitimacy or form any parties of any 'democratic' administration in Britain.

From the research unit responsible for the item on Poverty in the UK under Tony Blair and the failures of the DWP with David Blunkett as the Secretary of State...
The laws being broken will be referred to in summary in the next scheduled part of the report.
The case that is well known ‘within the DWP’ must remain so until litigation currently underway has been concluded.
To publish any further details that may identify the claimant will be susceptible to allegations of 'interference with the court and due process.
However,. the main findings are not going to be affected by the withholding of that particular information.
Thanks

Many thanks for stepping in where Twilight (as ever) failed.
The first issue is whether we should adopy a Holyrood style system which spreads the seats in a much closer reflection of the votes cast. This would be no bad thing, I am sure that you would agree.
The second point is the low turnout. We live in a democracy. Everyone has the right to vote, and its not hard to get on the register. But if people simply can't be bothered voting, then they've only themselves to blame. They had the chance to help shift the incumbent, and blew it.

In china you get to elect local party beaurocrats to administer a system about which you have no choice, we are extended the same privelege on a national level every 4/5 years. Woohoo. When the chartists and the suffragettes fought (and often died) for the vote, they did so as a means to an end - empowerment of the common (wo)man and power equality for all. Lets not fetishise the means - democracy yes, voting no (a)

And do you think Respect, the SWP, and others would agree with you? There's always an alternative to vote for; failure to vote robs us of the chance for change, no more, no less.

let's do a serious thing - build a true alternative to the status quo liars

Agreed that the existing parties are not delivery on purpose. At least Blair is not delivering on purpose. He has no excuse about number of votes in the Commons. So he is CHOOSINg to do whatever he is doing. And Gordon Brown is doing to follow Blair in the main. The Tories are set on a suicide course, as neither Davis nor Cameron believes in anything we have been talking abbot, the majority the people are talking about.
Whoever eventually replaces C Kennedy will make no diffrence.
And so, after the next election, the same old lying and deception and warmongering will continue.
RESPECT of the Galloway variety is not sustainable. What happened in Bethnal green and Bow must have been a one off. Galloway does not have a political agenda. At least not one that can be sustained. in any case, most of his personnel are drawn from not entirely democratic orf accountable backgrounds.
Those personnel are riding on the crest of a wave that will fade very soon.
That raises the real challenge for all true democrats in this country:
can we really unite and find a solution that will challenge one of the two main parties in a sustained way?
Many thanks
