Re: Graeme Ellis, he was fine making others poor...and he was even an activist who agreed at the time with taking milk away from kids in the Thatcher days. While I respect the way that he stood down (he could have gone quietly), I'm wary at his switch to Labour. I hope he isn't given a position of authority, as he could be another 'Sue Marsh' who went from unemployable disability activist to accepting a £80k per year job with Unum, one of the companies who are trying to kill us off: http://diaryofabenefitscrounger.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-unum-paradox.html

I love how we were joking about this a couple of days ago and then the tory media goes and says it completely unironically.

What I'm saying is we should commission Brooker to do another season of Black Mirror that ends with full communism.

Not true, you can be an independently wealthy disabled person and still get on fine being a Tory.

I don't see the contradiction in this with any of their other social or fiscal policy.

This is hilarious Trump is a member of the donor class.

Trump's "bit" is to be as bad a candidate as possible and tank the republicans while getting richer and more famous. Voting for him as a "gently caress you lol" is stupid but understandable, I honestly don't get how anyone smart enough to write sentences online would actually vote for Trump unless it's a prank on your own country and yourself.

Not long enough. If his relationship goes south and he ends up getting deported I hope the Trumpstaffel force him down the new Trail of Tears into Mexico so we don't have to have his stupid rear end voting in our elections again. He'd vote UKIP to stop the poofs getting all the welfare or something even dumber.
