Rubbish news for just about everybody.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14366522

TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said the figures showed that the idea charities can replace direct services currently provided by central or local government was false.

"It sounds great, but in practice the Big Society is looking more and more like a big con," he said.



Didn't repellent slap-headed pig-faced cunt Eric Pickles adopt a similar "plan" when he was the Tory leader of Bradford City Council - cutting both direct funding and discretionary grants to local worthy causes?

Please. If you're going to post covered links to the Daily NSDAP, can you use istyosty.com as a proxy.

You forgot "obese". Otherwise perfect.

It's not a covered link, as you can hover and see what the link is to.   8)

Who would be the most inappropriate journalist you could think of to send to cover the famine in Somalia?

Liz Jones isn't actually a real person though is she? I thought it was a cunning ruse by the Fail whereby they had a competition each week to write the most objectionable shite possible and then publish it under that name. The aim being to get Twitter as angry as possible and create loads of click through ad revenue.

Hence why I use istyosty, and the fact that particular story is on the Guardian website.

The tables are turned and The Sun has been hacked (just a shame its users data thats been taken, but at least it will further serve to tarnish the papers already shitty reputation).

Just had an object lesson on the realities of cut backs...
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital are "Down grading" ALL their admin staff and cutting ALL admin salaries by 20%; at the same time increasing pension contributions (Meaning a "real" cut of 25%).
No senior managers or "Front line staff" are affected (Official reason- "We need to maintain the highest caliber of management").
Result:-

Doctors and consultants up in arms (and, bless 'em, campaigning for an across the board (smaller) % cut, themselves included).

Admin staff leaving in droves, because "it just isn't worth it" and "I'd be better off working in Tescos".

One of the receptionists in the Oncology centre is now a WRVS volunteer, except they can't get enough volunteers and are actively trying to recruit patients and relatives to help.

Doctors and frontline staff facing an extra ten hours per week in admin duties.

We've seen it for ourselves, one secretary between 2, 3 or even 4 consultants. The wrong people getting the wrong appointments, people not getting the treatment they need because of clerical mix-ups.

We're there everyday and the Oncology car park is close to the management carpark. That carpark is full of new Merc's and BMW X5's etc.....

I know this isn't a direct link to a "News" story, but when you read "Frontline staff are protected", think about what that really means...

What's your problem? Our salt of the earth coppers and great British justice system ensure that only the guilty are ever convicted. String em up!
