0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I think there's some rule that you have to stay out of a ministerial position for 3 whole weeks to receive your resignation bonus, so, 4 weeks tops

I got a 7 day twitter ban due to my tweet to Purseglove over this earlier. It looks like the disabled are going to be targeted once again. The Tories have done it before, as did Labour beforehand and will do again if they are next in power. Watch as the media gaslights the public into thinking that us cripples are the reason why people can't afford to eat etc.

When the Tories got into power in 2010, disability benefit fraud was an estimated 0.5%. That figure is a hell of a lot lower these days.

Regardless of who gets in next, I fully expect a modernised version of the Aktion T4 Program to come into effect.

Official stats say it was still 0.5 last year. Which is apparently 30 million quid which won't get you much.
