2/ "Mandatory Work Related Activity" = This means you will work for any benefits, if your Unemployed. These would be Government supported agreed work Placements.
3/ "A Nation of Volunteers" = This means a Nation of Slave unpaid Labour.
4/ "Big Society" = This means The people doing the work of the Government, like working voluntary in your local library,
working in previously local government jobs on a Voluntary basis. slave labour again.
5/ "Universal Credit" = This means any money credited to your bank as a wage. will now be paid directly from the government itself, less income tax and any money you may owe, ie: court fines, child maintenance etc.. Interesting to note even people in 'slave work placements will also by receive Universal Credits.
6/ "The Digital Citizen" = This means every home within the UK will be Online, you know about .gov site? it's that gone mad. total big brother. Interviews over the net. This is one reason cameras are on computers nowadays, people will be interrogate at home over the Internet. and if you don't 'play ball' they will stop your Universal Credits.
CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS? LABOUR PEER CALLS FOR COUNCIL BONUS
A CALL to increase councillor allowances while tens of thousands of town hall workers face redundancy and pay freezes has provoked a political row.
The plea was made by Labour peer Jeremy Beecham, who told a local government conference in Newcastle he wanted to see more councillors being appointed to scrutinise the work of their authorities. This, he argued, should be backed by a new allowance.
Local Government Minister Grant Shapps branded Baron Beecham “insensitive and disrespectful” to millions of struggling public sector workers
WELL THATS LABOUR FOR YOU.

ELDERLY TOLD: JUST BUY READY MEALS.
East Cheshire Council wants to stop delivering food to the door
MEALS on wheels are set to be axed by council chiefs who are telling pensioners to buy supermarket ready meals instead.
Cash-strapped East Cheshire Council wants to stop delivering food to the door but faces a backlash from pensioners’ groups who say if people could get to the shops they would not need a hot meal delivered in the first place.

I believe it is the electoral system of 1st past the post that is the problem, the majority cannot understand that their is no difference between the old three corrupt parties and are stuck in a mindset of fear, and therefore tend to vote tactically in order to keep their most hated party out, I heard it for myself on radio 4 Tory voters voting Lib Dem to Keep Labour out, so if and I mean a big IF! we get a PR voting system I think that is when our chances will improve, as I feel this will remove the aspect of voting to keep the most hated out and will lead more to people voting with their true beliefs

PLANS 'TO HELP RELOCATE TENANTS'
Elderly council tenants could be allocated "house hunters" to help move them into smaller properties, under Government plans.
The dedicated officers would offer assistance with everything from locating a more manageable home to packing and shifting possessions.
Housing minister Grant Shapps outlined the idea as part of measures to ensure the country's social housing stock was used more effectively.
Some 430,000 properties have two or more empty bedrooms, while a quarter of a million families live in overcrowded accommodation.
Mr Shapps said £13 million was being shared between councils to fund help for tenants who wanted to "downsize".
Local authorities will decide exactly how the cash is spent, but the minister highlighted the possibility of "house hunter" officers.
Removal costs could also be covered, along with bills for decorating, repairs and minor improvements at the new property.
