The nasty party is back. The ConservativeHome's new poster spoof website exchanges humour for bile.
After three rounds of Tory poster spoofs, ConservativeHome have today launched their own spoof website of a spoof website of Conservative posters.
Confused? They seem to be, exchanging humour with bile, mocking anyone on benefits as being scroungers and suggesting that the Labour government is on the side of burglars. You can take a look for yourself at the new site, ‘I’ve never voted Labour before‘.
But even a spoof of a spoof can be spoofed.
And we wouldn’t be Left Foot Forward without a good stat so (hat-tip @Jessica_Asato):
Benefit fraud: 0.6% of expenditure, including error = c£2.7bn. Tax havens = c£18.5bn: http://bit.ly/apTU9A <why I don’t like @mylabourposter
To reach hundreds of thousands of new readers and to make the biggest impact we can in the next general election, we need to grow our donor base substantially.
That's why in 2024, we are seeking to generate 150 additional regular donors to support Left Foot Forward's work.
We still need another 124 people to donate to hit the target. You can help. Donate today.

GetLabourOut – You’re very welcome here. We welcome dissent, just not abuse and you’re a polite Tory by the looks of things!
Mehdi – Labour certainly hasn’t done enough on tax avoidance, I agree, but it has made some efforts including the requirement for firms to report any new tax avoidance schemes they invent. And it would be wrong to ignore benefit fraud altogether. A fair tax and benefits system means fair on cheats at both ends of the income spectrum.

From the ToryGuardian recently:
‘No 10 said it had been engaged in a “twin track” approach for some time, working with the EU and “leading the way” in efforts within the OECD. It said UK officials had persuaded Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands to share information.’
Some time likely 13 years. And remarkable that there is any prospect of international co-operation on the matter. The PM’s leadership of the G20 was not without its effects, despite the wishes of the various anti HMG groups here.
I think I’d ask the foreign based billionaires for their opinions . . . ooops . . . . their donations already answer that one. Sir Richard seems to have had enough too . . .

Do you not recogise that there could be a the difference between benfit fraud which is a crime of the claimant and benefit trap which is a crime of the state.
Creating a situation which infantalises people by making it unrealistic for them to seek to be self reliant by making any efforts on their own part very unlikley to ever improve their lot; leaving them with “this is how it is” lives, free of hope or aspiration – in that situation benefit dependency is the only rational step.
It costs us all a fortune, (many times benefit fraud I am sure), but for those who find themselves in that situation, it costs them much much more.
