New Labour Continues Its Attack Upon the Disabled!

UK: New Labour Attack on Disabled Continues! (5.12.2025)

Meanwhile, DWP’s controversial new anti-fraud bill – now to be known as the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error, and Recovery) Act – has become law after receiving royal assent on Tuesday.

Last month, cross-party MPs warned that ministers’ refusal to introduce a key protection into the bill could see a repeat of the countless deaths caused by the austerity measures of past governments.

And they warned that future “authoritarian” governments could misuse the powers the Labour government has claimed through the bill, which applies to England, Scotland and Wales.

One of those powers will allow DWP to force banks to examine the accounts of claimants of means-tested benefits and then provide details of any accounts where there have been potential breaches of benefit eligibility rules.

Disability Rights UK said it was “deeply concerned” at the “bank spying bill” becoming law.

Congratulations on 77th Anniversary!

DPRK: Laos President Congratulates Kim Jong Un on 77th Anniversary of Country’s Founding! (9.9.2025)

As a close friend of the fraternal DPRK people, we are very proud of and pleased about great successes achieved by the DPRK people for the past 70 years, he said, adding that we are sure that the DPRK would make successes continuously in carrying out the cause of building a Socialist power under the wise leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea headed by Kim Jong Un.

He expressed the will to closely cooperate with Kim Jong Un to bring substantial benefits to the peoples of the two countries, defend peace and stability in the region and the rest of the world and achieve cooperation and development by further expanding and developing the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the two Communist Parties, two States and two Peoples of Laos and the DPRK with a long tradition.

Sutton is a Wealthy Borough with a Well-Managed System of Corruption!

Inside Croydon: Surrey, Lambeth and Bromley Beat Croydon as Rotten Boroughs! (23.7.2025)

The Council, by law, must then offer you a chance to contact the ombudsmen and explain to you how you go about doing this – an email is the simplest method). Individual taxpayers, however, possess the right to refer their complaint to the ombudsmen for judication. Most of these referrals (which do show-up on official statistics) are dismissed – with the ombudsmen often arbitrarily ruling on behalf of the Council. The Council and ombudsmen know that most people who complain possess no financial resources to hire a lawyer and hold the Authorities to account – so the process of complaint will often halt here. Of course, there is always the chance that an individual’s case might be taken-up by a charity – so Councils must tread carefully whilst trying to prevent this. One tactic the Council uses is the fake apology. Bear in-mind that an apology runs the risk of admitting liability – something a lawyer could take advantage of later on in a “no win – no fee” scenario (another way that ordinary people can acquire legal representation).

Labour Killing Disabled!

UK: £416.19 Victory for Disabled People – High Court Ruling Declared DWP’s Benefit Reforms Unfair & Illegal! (4.4.2025)

The DWP claimed the changes were designed to “support” disabled people into work. However, there was no evidence that the reforms would actually improve employment outcomes. In fact, internal assessments suggested the opposite: more disabled people facing tougher conditions, sanctions, and loss of income.

This contradiction was a central part of the court’s ruling. Public Law Project lawyer Aoife O’Reilly called the decision a “vindication,” noting that public consultations must reflect reality—not political spin.

Backlash and Response

Disability rights organizations, legal experts, and even civil service unions welcomed the court’s judgment. Groups such as Inclusion London and the UK DDPO CRPD Monitoring Coalition are now urging the government to drop the reforms and restart the process—with disabled people at the table.

Support the USSR - and Russia!

Russia’s Fight Against the Glorification of Neo-Nazism! (1.3.2025)

The “collective West”, in particular the countries of the European Union, where all the above-mentioned violations occur on a systematic basis, has abandoned its last attempts to cover up its refusal to support the resolution with absurd justifications about freedom of assembly and speech and has spoken out against international efforts to combat aggressive manifestations of racism and xenophobia.

The position of Germany, Italy and Japan, whose vote against the resolution is a dangerous trend, deserves condemnation. taking into account the “black” pages in the history of the 20th century of these states and makes one think about how sincere they are in their repentance for the numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity , as well as genocide, committed during the Second World War.

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics "Wearily Familiar" - Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics “Wearily Familiar” – Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

Larger families with three or more children have consistently faced a higher rate of poverty, it says: 45 per cent of children in large families were in poverty in 2022/23. Disabled people, carers, renters, people claiming benefits, and people in workless households were also at a disproportionately higher risk of poverty.

More recent figures were equally bleak, owing to the continued affects of the cost-of-living crisis. In October 2024, about 2.6 million of the poorest fifth of households (44 per cent) were in arrears with their household bills or behind on scheduled lending repayments; 4.1 million households (69 per cent) were going without essentials; and 3.2 million households (54 per cent) cut back on food or went hungry.
