Well done Glenda. They took my brother off incapacity and he was often in and out of mental institute. His doctor wrote him letter and gave sick notes but he was awarded no points. He couldn’t speak up for himself in assessment. And he had to go to try claim jobseekers instead, but disability adviser at Jobcentre told me not to let him go there by himself. He went many months without any money and was told to pay council TAX too that he is still paying.
Glenda Jackson was a gifted actress in the 60's, 70's and 80's and is has been an exremely hard working politcian and MPand advocate for the poor and vulneralble for nearly the past two decades. Who is idiot named fuckyiu who wrote 4 months ago that socialists like her never worked etc.. . Before Ms.Jackson was an MP she worked in film for a quarter century winning two Best Actress Academy Awards, two NYFilmCritics awards, BAFTAs, Goldenglobes,Emmys, Tonys&ishighlytalented&Veryharworking!
HAHA ConDEM get it, its like CONDOM. Get it huh? Aren't we some clever socialists?
Ever notice how most socialists are born into wealth or have never worked in the private sector where wealth is created? You can see this representation in the Labour ranks - no fucking clue. No wonder the country is up a shit creek, and the Labour party wants to drag it up further. Can you socialists please find us the mythical money tree which you all think exists?
Cleverer and less vulgar than you, apparently. The allusion is not to a condom, it is to condemn. As in: the Con-Dem coalition has condemned the nation. I am tempted to say that only a completely unlettered prole could have made that mistake. My sincere advice to you is to focus on acquiring a respectable education and expressing your views, whatever they are, in a polite manner. Someone then may actually take you seriously.
ah yes, insulting someone over the internet, the last bastion of someone who has no answer. Face it moron, you socialists have lost the argument back in the 80's when Thatcher slapped you around the political arena. That.s why Labour never reversed any of her policies except to spend the country into bankruptcy yet again.
I really hate you socialists. All that money spent of redistribution over the past 13 years, and inequality went up!
I don't agree with absolutely everything that was said - I have no love for the Labour party or many of their actions over the last 13 years. But ye gods, I wish all politicians could be this passionate about **protecting** the people who've fallen to the bottom of society, rather than trampling over them in order to cosy up to those at the top.
Just fantastic - tell it like it is -why isn't she on the front bench? I just answered my own question. This was not anywhere near the news, but we need a 'firebrand' to stick it to them, and show all the lies up- CONDEMS have reduced corporate taxes and allowed offshore tax havens to thrive whlst striking at the very poorest, and it seems people have swallowed the line that there's no alternative!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a genuine Labour Party on whose front bench her likes could sit? It's been about a quarter century since there's been one and I don't really see Ed Miliband doing much to change that. More concerned with being "electable" than telling the truth.
I fear I was wrong - I was really pleased Ed' was elected, but he's been worryingly inneffective so far. Really need someone who doesn't care/nothing to lose to sling a few brickbats into the mix! Thanks Borjon23
Fantastic! Go Glenda! She said everything that needs to be said. Such an intelligent woman. Funny how people who disagree have to resort to immature name calling! Its not the first time a woman has been attacked as a 'bitch' for standing up for her beliefs!
Typical right wing response, you're doing nothing to dispel the stereotype of the ignorant Tory. Here's a tip- don't believe everything you read in The Daily Mail.
Bullshit. There are no real poor in the UK just people whining because their gravy train of money for sitting on their arses all day long watching the Jeremy Kyle show is coming to an end. Time for the Labour chavscum to go out and work for a living for the first time in their lives instead of leaching off the dole.
@Silkie341 has just demonstrated a complete lack of contact with anyone genuinely poor and a complete lack of understanding of the monetary system we are subjected to. Capitalism/consumerism relies on a class of people as a reserve labour force there to threaten the poorly paid with a worse life....so now these people are telling the system to shove it up their rear ends and they are being penalised.
The only time the communist bitch opens her mouth is to condemn the other communists in the one party state for not being 'communitarian' enough or to defend the rights of terrorists to blow the living shit out of us.
The rich have to make one decision during this recession, and that is 'Should I go to Barbados for Christmas?' The poor will ask themselves, day in day out...Can I afford to get the kids what they want for Christmas this year? Or....Can I afford the heating on my pension?
I'd love it if someone within Labour would admit that grave mistakes have been made... VAT increases affecting the poorest?? Isn't VAT on luxury items?? Politics will only change when we think less of the individual and more about the country. Less about, what's in it for me and more how can we sort out this mess for all!!
Where was the outrage when Alistair Darling admitted that Labour's planned cuts in public spending will be "deeper and tougher" than Margaret Thatcher's in the 1980s.
@coldblusteel Public spending cuts didn't occur under Thatcher. In fact, it rose because she decimated our industries and threw our workers onto the dole heap.
@coldblusteel Labour are hypocritical, but the torys are evil. The torys were against democracy, then pensions, then state schools and then the NHS. This is very easy to explain, they have always been about protecting their wealth, they use whatever arguements they do, to save themselves money. Instead of taxing the massive corparations (which donate greatly to the tory party), they increase VAT, something which is to all extenses and purposes a poll tax, aimed at the working and middle classes.
This is far more interesting than CSPAN hell that channel induces comatose states, England's House of Commons is far more entertaining.
