The whole stinking economic system we live under is all about debt. Keep the proles in debt and they're easily manipulated. They won't want human rights when they're threatened with eviction or loss of their jobs, and all the other indignities that this stinking, capitalist system heaps upon us.

Communism has failed, and so has capitalism. We need a new system that sees us as human beings, with basic needs to be satisfied like homes, food, education and health care. We are just pawns in a capitalist game to be manipulated for the profit of the few.

Until this lousy corruption is obliterated we will continue to languish in a dark age of exploitation and deprivation. As far as I can see, the people who impose this system upon the rest of us still haven't crawled out of the caves yet, and until the system changes we will always be under the heel of exploitation.

This poverty is no accident. It has been deliberatley created, and the system that created it is that of the bent financiers, who are no more than mafia criminals who have the politicians in their pay. Thus, the present economic debacle is not going to be solved until these criminals are brought to heel.

And who will do that? So far, as far as I can see, there's nobody with the gumption to take up the challenge, and so we'll stumble along from one crisis to the next, because it suits this criminal elite to keep it that way.

Poverty will remain a scourge upon the human race, because it takes thousands of poor people to keep one rich man in the manner to which he has become accustomed. And they don't want that fact to change in any way.

What are you stupid people talking about? The poor are poor because they are too lazy to do anything for themselves. Businesses like Brighthouse and Wonga dot com are on the ball, they have come in at just the right time, they should charge whatever interest they like. As more and more benefits are cut, the scroungers will not be able to pay back what they have borrowed. The Government should make the law hard on people who borrow money while living on state handouts. Good luck to people like Brighthouse I hope you profit well.

i cannot understand why loco coco doesn't understand that it's time to learn to read and write and not have one of his peons to tape his meanderings,because after all the millions spent on education, he had a threepenny bits worth.manifesting itself in the form of a 1st class honours degree in industrial idiocy.,and stupid people like me bothering to recognise
his presence on here by wasting our time reacting to his twaddle

The company put in charge of getting claimants off benefits and into work has had its contract ended because of fraud. A4e is also subject to a police investigation into fraud allegations with eight people so far arrested. And before anyone forgets, A4e got its feet under the table with welfare-to-work contracts in 2001 under a Labour government.

Is this one of Cocomans scroungers?

Atos Healthcare ?

ATOS ...(a) have 12 of their doctors currently under investigation by the General Medical Council over misconduct in relation to their duty of care to patients. (b) were sacked by PCTs in England because their provision of GPs services 'fell well short of required standards'. (c) the Advertising Standards Authority upheld a complaint brought against Atos. It made false claims about the number of referrals and the number of 'healthcare professionals" it employed claiming that they were doctors when in fact most of them had just done a correspondence course.

Oh, and just to confirm, of their 55 'assessment centres' only 28 have disabled parking.

One of their employees, Dr Ikidde, who qualified in Nigeria, was found to be working for Atos while on sick leave from an accident and emergency department.
Not a blemish against their name?

I think you should both look again at what you are saying. Atos Healthcare has an excellent reputation. I do agree that the number of appeals that are brought are high, but this is because the people who have been found fit for work are bitter. 95% of appeals are turned down anyway, it is just a further expense on the state. Lain Duncan smith is looking hard into the appeal system, there is many things he can do. For example, he could take away the Independent Tribunal and hand the job over to a private company who would work closely with the DWP by cutting the number of people who would be allowed to appeal. I also agree that the people who carry out these assessments are not all Doctors, but they are all fully trained Medical Professionals. So I can assure you that Atos Healthcare are working well within the law in this country.

Come on people coco has hijacked this thread, how dare you spoil it with facts...

My thought exactly!

Charlie Elphicke (Dover) (Con): It is a pleasure to speak in this debate, and I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Redcar (Ian Swales) on securing it. I wish to discuss an area that has not been so deeply explored this evening, although it is the area where we are not as powerless as we are in so many areas of this debate because of international obligations. I wish to focus on companies in receipt of money from taxpayers under Government contracts.

I have undertaken a study of technology companies that benefit from taxpayers’ money under Government contracts and have found that Oracle, Xerox, Dell, CSC and Symantec paid no corporation tax whatsoever last year, despite earning more than £474 million from Government contracts and having a UK turnover of £7 billion. Overall, my study of 10 technology companies in receipt of more than £1.8 billion of taxpayers’ money found that they paid just £78 million in taxes on UK earnings of just over £17.5 billion of turnover. On the basis of group profitability—we are looking at the consolidated international group here—the 10 technology

Bright house suck the life blood out of people who cant afford 42" tv's and leather settee's

Does that come with HD and surround sound??

No to be fair I don't think I'd trust Cocoman to pick a surround sound system for me. Would he have the knowledge to be able to marry up the correct blu-ray player to the right a/v receiver and likewise pick the right speakers.

Or he could buy me a boat to help me get around the valley............bring back the snow!!!
