Cameron is a decent man?! Was he decent when Israel was bombing the s*** out of Gaza's children, and he refused to condem it? Is he decent for slicing up the NHS? Is he decent for taking benefits away from the desperate people that need them? I see no compassion or human decency in him whatsoever. Laugh at me all you like, but I can see Corbyn riding this ridiculous wave of filth in the press and becoming the next Prime Minister, despite what all the supposed experts say.

When a fly buzzes round my head I tend to swat it.
They do want to live in peace, but they are not allowed to. As for bombing children on beaches, that is collateral damage. You have no idea whether children of Israel have been hit by the rockets launched. Wow. You really come out with some corkers Hoof, fancy telling that to their family? And as a matter of fact I do know if kids have been hit by Palestinian rockets. During the last round of fighting, 5 Israeli civilians died, including one child, compared to over 2000 Palestinians, in a nation where the average age is 17. You do the maths.
I cannot understand why such emphasis was placed on the photos of the child washed up on the beach when two days before an air tight refridgerated lorry killed 71 people including kids. People needlessly dying anywhere is a tragedy. Israel/Palestine needs sorting out, Syria needs sorting out, etc etc. There's no point blaming one side, it takes two to tango.

All they have to do is sign up to a peaceful settlement and the blockade will be lifted.
All very justifiable I am sure by some right-wing religious zealots and bigots but not by those rational mind.
No point putting all the blame on Israel.

There are plenty of sources. Take your pick. Of course, like Cameron and IDS (who claimed last year that these statistics didn't exist) you can manipulate the report to back-up your "odd cock-up". Lots of links! Are you Gusset in disguise?

Is he decent for slicing up the NHS? Is he decent for taking benefits away from the desperate people that need them? This is emotive hogwash and claptrap to boot. Regards welfare, spending has to be put on a sustainable footing. Britain is home to 1 per cent of the world’s population, generates 4 per cent of the world’s economy,; and yet pays out 7 per cent of all the welfare spending. What about the introduction of a new National Living wage ? And the support for working people with lower taxes, with people being able to earn £11,000 (From next year) before they have to pay tax ? We simply HAVE to move from a low wage, high tax, high welfare economy to a higher wage, lower tax and a lower welfare society.At the end of the day a strong economy is needed in Britain's interests and we cannot progress as a country if the economy is weak. What would your solution be for people that can't work, because of a genuine physical or mental disability, but have been declared fit to? Just let them die (like the thousands that already have)?
There may be the odd cock-up, but there is no en-masse round up of these people to force them into labour. The purpose of welfare reform is to get the scroungers and benefit cheats dealt with. The genuinely needy cases will continue to receive benefits. You are just scaremongering.
Hardly 'the odd case here and there'.
Each case has been investigated thoroughly and the causal link to death was the fact that they were forced to go to work which killed them was it? Very unlikely. I don't work... I have Parkinson's disease... I don't claim benefits either. However if I did and I was assessed for work, there is no way I would allow the assessor to come to a conclusion I was fit for work. Assessments can be subjective, but GENUINE cases where people are unable to work physically or mentally are not being forced into labour.
"More than a third of people with degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis are having their benefits slashed because the Department for Work and Pensions deems they will recover enough to look for work. Thousands of those with diseases that only worsen with time - and who have become too ill to work - are being denied full Employment Support Allowance. Instead they are assessed as suitable for work-related activity which is designed for people likely to recover to the point where they can seek employment. People in The Work-Related Activity Group receive less money and the threat of sanctions if they do not attend regular sessions. Many also have this benefit removed after a year as an added “incentive” to find employment.
The Independent
I am confident that Cameron et al have not designed these assessments to deliberate fail genuine disability cases such as MS and Parkinsons. They must not have engaged properly with the medical profession, as both these diseases are degenerative without a known cure - you do not recover. The government need lobbying on this and any other conditions that are being wrongly assessed. As I said earlier, it is the intention to catch out the workshy and the cheats, not the genuinely disabled.

It's a ploy by Corbyn to try and make PMQs more downbeat as he knows he would be ripped apart by Cameron in a "Yah boo" exchange.
Ironic you use the term childish goading, when that is exactly what you are doing to me. I listened to the PMQ in its entirety on the radio. And for me Corbyn sounded like a frightened little boy who had been made to tell the headmaster about what the bigger boys were doing behind the bike sheds. He came across as a weak leader. But the asking of Questions and the civil manner in which the horay Henrys and champagne socialists conducted themselves was much less playground, and more year 7 debate I thought.

To hear John McDonnell claiming that he wants his party to be open and honest and avoid Ya bo politics is frankly nauseating. What really annoys me is that he thinks that the electorate are stupid enough to actually believe him. Some are I suppose. His explanation for Corbyn not singing the anthem was laughable. Don't get me started on Sandy Toksvig.
