    Bloody great to see someone in labour taking about disability seriously, I will be trying to attend sadly I’m going through my medical at this time.

    Well, given they’ve already accepted the Tory cuts…

    Not to sure left foot forward has, we all know cuts have to come, we all know bankers are getting clean away with it, this week reported bankers bonus was £35 billion last year, financial sector was £12 billion, I’ve had a 40% cut to my benefits.

    LFF is still supporting Labour as far as I can see, and keep printing articles which support people I consider right wing as “left wing thinkers”.

    Lets be honest when ever we had a Labour party pre 1940’s up until the 1970, it’s been a party who has been more interested in staying in power by kissing the ass of the rich, now even more then ever, with MIliband looking the weakest leader I have ever seen. If the bloke had a socialist thought in his life he blame his father. Now we are being told it would be better to have a poor Labour party then a poor Tory party, of course you have to ask what is the difference.

    This site tries and sadly some times misses but at least it tries.
