OK not sure I fit into what England is becoming. I care that there should to be a balanced society, that there is a responsibility for the State to provide support for those who are the most vulnerable in society. Actually you can judge whether a society is healthy by the way it treats the poor and vulnerable. That being so I find the policy decisions at the Conservative Party Conference not only deeply upsetting but more importantly morally wrong! Not only real reductions in benefits - but now a special card to restrict how those on benefits spend their money?... not a tad violent or autocratic parent? It really is a sin now to find yourself in a vulnerable situation, and of course we must punish them more. Sorry this is pure evil and morally wrong - Bishops please do speak up about this!!! We need you to !!! Secondly we have had the longest period in history without a war in Europe, largely because of the effect of the European Union (A fact avoided by this government and UKIP). So I am an unapologetic absolute supporter of the European Union. I thought we were supposed to be getting compassionate conservatism - well thats out of window. These are nasty policies that are seeking to oppress the poor - not a meritocracy - but one that maintains the privilege of the advantaged and rich over those who are actively disadvantaged. It stinks.... please O please can people see through this tosh. What happened to loving kindness, generosity, social democracy? Must we be dictated to as human beings by the logic of the market that always privileges the minority over the majority. The important battles for a fairer less class driven society is now being eroded at a terrifyingly fast pace. Please can we have some effective opposition to this. Join me in the March on 18th October in London ... my family in their 70s are coming out for this, why not join us?
