I’d like to invite and entreat any WordPress users who feel that the current government of the United Kingdom are acting in a callous manner towards the poor and vulnerable in society to read, follow, share and otherwise support this blog. I ask this respectfully, but in the hope of gaining your support, because I need your help – or I’m just whistling in the dark. I believe that, from small beginnings, I can help to make a difference – but not on my own.
In among all the Leeds United and other light-hearted football rubbish within these pages, I’m trying to get a serious message out there as to what this despicable Tory-led Coalition government is doing to people who are being unjustly targeted, and are extremely ill-equipped to fight back.
I’m talking about people driven to suicide by vicious cuts to what is already poverty-level income. People in extreme stages of ill-health being found fit for work, and dying mere days afterwards. People who are almost blind, suffering from paralysis, multiple amputations, cancer, cardiac failure and other distressing, limiting and life-threatening conditions, being told that they’re fit for work, being accused – in effect – of shirking.
Meanwhile, the lucky ones earning in excess of £1 million a year will shortly benefit from a £100,000 a year tax-cut – an amount EXTRA for each of them every year that might otherwise fund four newly-qualified teacher posts – or more nurses, better healthcare, less child poverty. But no, these vast amounts of money are going straight into the back pockets of those who are already fat cats, creaming off the resources so desperately needed elsewhere.
Do you think this is right?
Do you think this is fair?
Do you think this is just?
Or do you think that the truth about our government’s policies should be told, and then spread as far and wide as possible, so that people sit up and take notice of what’s actually going on? Sharing a blog is the modern-day equivalent of shouting from the rooftops. So – let’s shout a little. Please.
It will be June at least before I can hope to gain endorsement by the News Now platform, and so gain a wider audience. In the meantime it would be extremely helpful if WordPress readers/users could help me to expand my readership, with a view to spreading that truth where currently we seem to see mostly lies and malicious propaganda. You may well, if you’re the type of person I’m aiming at, who hates injustice and stands up for the disadvantaged, find some stuff that you can agree with!
Please take a minute to have a read, and then share with your like-minded contacts.
Thank you in advance.
Life, Leeds United, the Universe & Everything
