Not to mention putting the older unemployed/redundant onto incapacity/disability benefits to keep them off the unemployment register.

Never has the phrase "History is written by the winners" been more appropriate than in studying the eighties. Those too young to live through the time will believe it to be an era of opportunity, when the post-war decline finally ended, the unions that had held the country back were defeated and the nation revelled in an era of unprecedented wealth and consumerism. Their belief is Duran Duran and Wham hanging out with supermodels on Carribbean beaches. Reality was the Specials and Ghost Town.

Teaching in an inner-city school in the 80s was often pretty grim as industry closed or went abroad and Tory councils cut spending to the bone. As was trying to bring up a family on ever-eroded wages whilst we watched our national assets (including North Sea oil revenues) pissed up the wall. A shit period.

The one plus point was that there was still a sense of community. Everyone seemed to have either been unemployed or knew someone who had been and they knew it could happen to anyone. If you had the money to go into a pub for a pint, get talking to someone and and mention you were on the dole chances were you'd have your next pint bought for you. Say it now and you'd get a sneer about how they were paying your benefits.

She shaped this country to some point in her own image, a sneering, backward old crone.

Civil servants, and another airing of the idea that if you work in the public sector, you should toil away constantly for a pittance*. After all, that's what 'service' means, right? Falling back on the standard "pyjamas and hobnobs" line (Why his obsession with hobnobs, unless it's a juvenile, Two Ronnies "Oo-er, sounds a bit rude!" - well, there you go. Answering my own question.) he takes issue with a number of what seem to be optional seminars and discussion groups that seem to be offering insight on issues, and might go some way towards providing a better service towards minority groups while not adversely affecting standards of service to the "majority population" at all. Yes, HMRC delivers poor customer service, but that's due to trying to run the system on the cheap, and (as a guy I know who works for them said) what's the alternative?

Apparently it's all a sinister plot by people who, he feels, should be deported. Even if they're from the "historic majority population". No solid numbers, lots of "up to" and "as many as" littering the copy. But what is for sure is that Littlecunt and co are being emboldened by what they're seeing across the pond, and there's an ever more sinister note appearing in their screeds.

Dangerous cunt.

*To be fair, they also expect people in the private sector to toil away for a pittance, at least until they get through the magic door to the goodie room.

I don't know any civil servant who's ever gone on one of those or similar courses. Most of them regard even basic training such as online security and H&S as being a pain that interferes with their proper work

A common trick of journalists is to take individual events and dubiously link them to create a sense of imminent danger and causality - "Meteorite strikes while teachers sun themselves on holiday" type things.

Here, the cunt is at it with crime. Police not following up every crime. CCTV images of suspected shoplifters being taken down under data protection concerns. People Like Us not being taken seriously, while That Lot brazenly wander about like people on legs. Why can't we have a pop at them?

Yes, the cunt has gone back to his old cause celebre, Tony Fucking Martin. Doesn't name him, but doesn't need to. If the rozzers were putting the fear of God into the 'criminal classes', then the streets would be safer for nice people like you, dear reader.

Cunt.

Taxes.

Not just taxes though. Got your bingo cards ready? Here we go...

Gordon Brown, world class pensions, Rachel from Complaints, Denis Healey, pips squeak, Miliband's kamikaze net zero plan, highest energy bills ever, I don't do detail, Inheritance Tax, scrimped and saved, pound of flesh, wealth tax, death tax, rapacious socialists, no real mandate, bank of Mum and Dad, traditional families, farm tax, caaahncils, cycle lanes, drag queens, giving kids the vote, Brown again, Remainers, revenge for Brexit, gold plated pensions, no money left, Harold Wilson.

Cunt.

That almost read like Uncle Jimmy's rant...

Going back to Tony Martin, perhaps if he hadn't admitted committing murder, he might not have been found guilty.

IHT is one of the most hated and pernicious taxes. Thresholds have been frozen as property values have risen, which has meant that when parents die their children have to sell the family home so the government can have its pound of flesh.

The tax free IHT threshold currently stands at £325,000. A life changing amount of money for off-spring who aren't fucking idiots but chicken feed in Littlejohn's circles.

Sadly a lot of people do fall for its arguments.

Of course the price of houses can be quite high mostly due to government decisions.

To paraphrase the great Half Man Hakf Biscuit (and I mangle singing it in my head whenever I see the thread title)...

'Just why is Littlejohn still alive,
And making money, too?...'

Much sooner have Rod Hull still with us than that porcine excrescence.

I think I've seen that one. Is Ron Jeremy in it?

Blair and Mandelson, ECHR, Matrix Chambers, left wing plots, all about trying to stop Brexit, young men of military age, boats, peaceful protesters, tiny minority intent on violence, blah blah blah....

Lazy cunt.

It's interesting to see how his choice of words can say one thing while meaning the other. Their protests are violent; ours, like all protests, are infiltrated by violent thugs. We have innocent bystanders peppersprayed. They get what they deserve. And so on.
