how many benefit claimants have to die before something is done....

They won't like you posting Newham news in CMATs absence.

Yeah, absence.

probably as many as the abused kids of Rotherham

the capability for work assessment is a nasty piece of legislation in all honesty, why did Labour bring it in Pandora and also appoint ATOS?

don't you know Pandora?

How many would have killed themselves anyway?
You don't need a particular excuse to kill yourself if you're that way inclined.

vote labour next election, only answer

Latest odds for my constituency gen election:

tory 8/13 from 5/6
labour 6/5 was 5/6
any other 100/1

According to local sources employment in the area is down 75% yet most of these jobs are either part time 16-20+ hrs, or zero hr contracts.

Those on 16-20+ hrs still receive benefits paid for by the taxpayer?
Put it another way...If you're still out of work after 2 years you will be placed on a work scheme where you work for 35hrs to receive your benefits.
16 hrs paid or 35hrs unpaid = same money/benefits received. Paid by the taxpayer.

This question needs answering - why are these 35 hr unpaid jobs not available to the working man or woman who is genuinely looking for employment...back to the darts...

How many white sexually-underaged girls have to be groomed, raped, and violently assaulted by "men of Pakistani heritage" up and down this country before The Guardian newspaper acknowledges that the phenomenon is one base in racism?

vote labour next election, only answer

No it's far too soon to put Labour back in.

Wait until the Tories have finished the job of mending the economy before letting the self serving Labour rats loose with the purse strings again.

agree you cant give kids  something fragile like an economy to play with ...

how many benefit claimants have to die before something is done....

all of them if the Tories have their way

nobody listening to alun
says it all

Is his post on the right thread?

My answer to him would be, why are the police not charging these men and bringing them to court as this is a crime
On the grounds....they administer the law not the Guardian

The press, plod, and government are all branches off the same tree. If something needs to be hushed up or hidden, all 3 will be involved.

I can well believe it, but as far as I am concerned the law must apply equally to all
regardless of race, sex, creed etc...in fact this is the only way it can work in a multi cultural society.

This may reveal that a certain crime is very prevalent in certain groups in society.
So at this stage it moves to another level where professionals and community leaders become involved
to try and find the problem and see if it can be cured.

But we should never compromise on justice.....same for everybody.

just my opinion

I can guess the problem here, it is of course different cultures.

I imagine in Pakistan sex is kept out of site, whereas in our country it is pretty well smack bang in our faces all the time.

This would cause confusion I see that.
But if people live in our country I feel they are morally obliged to adopt our
conventions, as of course we would if we lived in their society.

again, just my opinion.

Most newspapers are biased anyway.

You only have to look at the tv programmes on benefit scroungers etc to see who pulls the strings in regards to media and press. When was the last programme on Canary Wharf spoofers or City of London braces and fukwits?

In regard to all the recent abuse cases, the press knew, the plod knew, and successive governments knew. They all did fack all and let the abuse continue. If justice really meant justice, then hundreds who hid the truth (and still do) would be prosecuted and jailed, along with the bastards who committed the crimes. Don't hold yer breath in this wonderful society.

I agree fully with your first line Guinness..there has clear bias for the last five years

Your second, well I am sad this is true, because I am quite shocked by this.....because I did not know
Well it is certainly out now, barely a day goes by without us reading of some such case....so now it is out
I think we should wash all our linen in public and get it over with.

Not just allegations, proper police procedure, the lot
