An Update From Chris Lawton On Oxfam

New jobs?? Well, if you count all that are listed on the DWP’s JobMatch site… then yes it apears so!! But…..
MANY are duplicates… MANY more are just plain fake… LOADS have NO CONTACT DETAILS, so god only knows if they are real or not…. and MANY more still are just old ones that have been taken but not removed from the website!
Then theres all the “zero-hours” contracts….
Then theres the ratio of full time to part time….
Then lets count how many are just temporary…
Etc. Etc.Etc…..
So, who’s keeping count of how many people are sat with too little or nothing to do? Who’s counting them???
Last I checked, DWP are simply counting ACTIVE JSA CLAIMS to “determine” the number of unemployed. Get sanctioned…. get off that list!! workfare gets you taken off the list too….
So not such good figures after all, once all the mischeif and number-rigging is accounted for.
Something need to be done… real soon. Tens of thousand already dead to this governments dasturdly policies, through freezing or starving after getting a sanction. Sanctions that can be up to THREE YEARS!!!! How is that supposed to do ANY kind of good for ANYONE????
How many more before people do something??

Jobs do not solve hunger as we saw in the Channel 4 Disparches Breadline Kids.

Half of those in poverty are in work. Half of women 60-66 are within the working poor.

Cut benefits, lost benefits, sanctioned benefits – all mean no access to food vouchers to food banks.

No state pension payout, payable even if remain in work, lost for those turning 60 from 2013, so food money lost.

The DWP demand those in part time jobs give them up to keep benefits and go into the slavery of unpaid Workfare for 6 months. The firm cannot even feed you lunch as that is payment and so they would have to pay the taxes for employing people.

As low wages are at the level of worth of 2002 income, then no amount of talking about cost of living makes any sense. Because prices are not at 2002 levels.

Even the squeezed middle income are worse off today than they were back in 2008.

Income Tax reduction is meaningless as most of the working poor are below the £10,000 now and will be below the £10,500 next year allowance.

Elderly pensioners need at least £10,000 with their extra costs, but lost £3,000 of tax allowance above the basic allowance when turning 65 from 2013.

And this MP talks of 2 million more jobs – when most of the jobs are zero hour contracts, part time casual, low insecure self employment – still needing to go to food banks to feed the kids.

This Tory MP is like all the current political class who believe those going hungry are the unemployed on benefits and work will feed people.

The people going hungry are people OFF benefits by sanctions, loss, delay or never gaining them and just abandoned off the statistics. And the bulk of these are in work.

Current pensioners and women not paid their state pension since 2013 are also within the poor going hungry.

Oxfam is accused of pedalling left wing propaganda, as the doctors publishing in the medical journal The Lancet are lying about forensically proved malnutrition hospital admissions having doubled over the last 5 years. It takes at least a month for the body to starve to threaten life and need medical care.

When you starve your stomach shrinks and it becomes harder for the body to eat.

So if there were all these well paying jobs, why is anyone starving so much to need hospitalisation?

Is 2 million people on benefits going to food banks an unverified lie then?

And the 2 million must be an under-estimate as there are millions not eligible for food banks, used up their 3 vouchers permitted in a year, or given up and bin-dipping for food?

Why are supermarkets and others putting bleach in food bins to stop bin dipping?

Why are councils donating more and more to food banks?

The Tories are desparate to quash anything about starvation being caused by all of their policies. Hard-working families are the starving and that truth they trying very hard to stop getting out and about.

As half of women aged 60-66 are within the working poor,
being early retired on low works pensions, on average,
by the two thirds of job losses they suffer in public sector
and the majority reason out of work is due to disability / chronic illness
and all the lost benefits around same

The people 60-66 are as equally threatened by starvation as all other ages, as well as their grandchildren.

It is not just delaying gettting a state pension that is food money, as is payable even if remain in work, but losing state pension altogether as new claimants from 2016.

Needed is Labour party member(s) to spread the petition through their social media, to inform women and so change Mr Ed Miliband’s mind.

So that Mr Ed Miliband puts in Labour’s 2015 general election manifesto:

– Revoke Pension Bill
– Revoke Flat Rate Pension
– pay women’s state pension at 60 lost from 2013 (back-dated with tax free lump sum and then monthly from the month of Labour’s election win)

Right now, all the pundits are saying Labour will have a minority government.

Women will make Labour a landslide majority government if they do the above.

Help me to help these women and help Labour, please.
