On the other hand...

If this was a Daily Mail article about radical Muslim asylum seekers claiming benefits, no doubt you'd be spitting feathers Andy.

Because it's every bit as sensationalist as any of the DM headlines you were ripping the piss out of the other day while telling us how you prefer to read a "proper paper" (i.e. The Guardian). In fact it's whole tone and journalistic style positively screams "Daily Mail" at you (as indeed do most of the comments from the idiots replying at the bottom below the article. Very "Mail reader" in tone they are.)

In other words, it's a headline-grabbing half-truth of the .... oh I dunno .... "Illegal immigrant ate my dog" variety designed to get people's hackles up, except with the opposite political slant (which makes it OK in your book, since it happens to suit your own political bias).

But perhaps this bloke isn't as hard done-by as he wants us to believe? Perhaps there's more to this than is apparent from this story? This from the CAB web site:

"If you have a medical condition, you may be able to restrict yourself to particular types of jobs or jobs where you only have to work certain hours. You will have to provide medical evidence to allow you to restrict your availability for work like this. However, if your medical condition or a disability means it would be very difficult for you to find suitable work, you may not be able to get Jobseeker's Allowance and have to claim other benefits instead." (my bold)



Can faceless public sector bureaucrats in the DWP (or wherever) be insensitive jobsworth morons? Of course they can. Irrespective of what shade of government happens to be in power. And maybe that is what's going on here.

But we don't really know the fully story do we? Perhaps for whatever reason (like he hasn't bothered to tell them) the authorities simply aren't fully aware of all his medical issues? (I don't know ? I'm just saying that might be the case).

They must have looked in every nook and cranny to prise out this story, I mean to say a bloke with 17 heart attacks! I expect he was turning up at the bennies, being pushed in his bed by 2 paramedics and a consultant heart surgeon, in case he relapsed! Those heartless Tory Toffs! I love his quote:

He said the government was acting like Nazis ? "Working the disabled and the sick until they dropped dead and were no longer a burden?. Yeah, let's run this by a few elderly ex Jewish concentration camp victims and see if they agree. I bet you'd have to restrain them from trying to smack this scrounger in the gob! Anyway to my knowledge Tory Gestapo Officers haven't put signs outside the benny offices saying, "Arbeit macht frei!" , "Work sets you free!"

New style Tory Britain, benefit offices, according to benny claiming Scot, Paul Mickleburgh:

Anyway to keep withing the hallowed and respected principle of "balance" on BGAFD, lets have a look at the norm!

Yes I noticed the "reductio ad hitlerum" in that article as well Jim.



It's also commonly employed on forums such as this by those on the "liberal-left" as a tactic for stifling debate. Variations include branding their opponents "BNP supporters" or "Daily Mail readers".

All a bit feeble and predictable really.

I've often said there should be an equivalent of 'Godwins Law' for anyone who plays the "Daily Mail" card. mention the Daily Mail, instant loss.

First of all, welcome to the Brains Trust!!

Having 4 kidney transplants rejected seems to me to be pure attention seeking.

As far as I know the kidney transplants were rejected because Paul said:

1, I can't see the face of Jesus Christ in this one.
2. How can I take this one, it doesn't match the colour of my Dundee football shirt etc etc.
3. The third one, Paul took out himself because Kaylie Marie, his daughter hadn't had time to go to Tesco's and he felt a bit peckish.
4. As for the fourth I had a quick look on "Ya all fuckin scroungers.co.uk but couldnt see any reference.

This article you link to strikes me as a complete bunch of lies and half truths. I have no evidence to support that, but I thought I would just guess.

I do think it's important that people like your good self and pinko Guardian fellow travellers, think outside the box, now and again.

For example, I thought Paul would be an excellent candidate for doing a portering job supplying the Intensive Care and Renal Units of a large city hospital. Great idea or what? If he starts feeling a tad under the weather, he is in exactly the right place!!


Atos have been providing tests for disability on behalf of the DWP for a number of years now. Personally I have no problem with the principle. It's just that the implementation appears to be a bag of shite.

For example, The DWP said that a quarter of people who have received work capability assessments to date have had appeals heard against rulings by Atos assessors. Of this quarter, 38% have had their fitness to work judgements overturned. This percentage is higher when advocacy groups have been involved. ANd the tribunal process is so overloaded that it takes 6 months to get a review.

So given this test based on the DWP's own figures doesn't seem fit for purpose, you have to ask why this has been ongoing.

Presumably the purpose is not to have a fair and proper assessment but to terrify the shit out of the people on disability benefits in the hope that they will just give up before the assessment happens.

"Variations include branding their opponents "BNP supporters" or "Daily Mail readers".

So is the stuff below, you lads? I have noticed quite a few similarities to be absolutely frank!

Often referred to as "Fascism with Oven Gloves on" The Daily Wail, also known variously as The Daily Hate, The Daily Heil, The Daily Bile, The Daily Hate Mail, The Fascist Manifesto, Loose Women on a Period and The Daily Fail is a hugely popular British comic for those who believe themselves (usually mistakenly) to be members of the middle classes.

Things the Mail and its readers believe are true:

I'm not a racist but...
You're a persecuted taxpayer and all your taxes are being wasted, and you live in hell-hole Britain.
It's not right that anybody migrates to the UK, but it's perfectly okay for Daily Mail readers to be immigrants in other countries (and continue their moaning from there).
Only Daily Mail readers can use their fundamental EU right to free movement of persons (and expatriate elsewhere in the EU) and nag about how Britain should leave the EU.
Only Daily Mail readers can use their fundamental EU right to free movement of persons and goods by frequently Channel-hopping to the continent and bringing back (and selling for profit which cheats the taxman despite being the first to moan about southern europeans not paying tax) numerous goods upon their return, but want Britain out of the EU at the same time.
Hitler had the right idea about travellers.
He's only saying what a lot of people are thinking!
PC brigade overreacting again.
Not everything Hitler did was bad. If he just stuck to his plans of creating a greater Germany without the need to put the Jews and other perceived undesirables up the chimney this world would be a much better place.
For goodness sake you can't open your mouth these days can you?
Anything wrong in Britain currently and post-May 2010 is the fault of Labour, and was therefore in perfect working order before/until May 1997.
Political incorrectness miraculously stopped once David Cameron became Prime Minister...oh no wait, there's still the pesky public sector we can blame, just to give us something to moan about.
Nick Griffin has been saying this for years.
Quentin Letts writes amazing, informed and cutting edge articles...and isn't at all biased in any direction.
Polluting the environment is necessary and a duty of all human beings.
Muslims are taking over...and fast.
When are the British people going to wake up (and protest about what I'm angry about because I'm too lazy to do so myself)?
What I'd like to do to this person cannot be published.
Whoever breaks the law should be hung after being mercilessly tortured, but when a Mail reader sells a story about being (legally) clamped or fined, then it is the parking attendant / traffic warden / clamper who should be punished.
They were the perfect youths when they were young; the younger generations of today are spoilt, ignorant and ill-mannered.
The Daily Mail is in a position to criticise the Met Office and make its own, miles more accurate weather howlers predictions.
The Driver Is Always The Victim (unless he is foreign or if he commits a motoring offence that is relatively rare here but common on the continent (i.e. riding a motorbike without a helmet, overtaking two abreast over double white lines, manoeuvering round pedestrians crossing at zebra crossings without stopping, double parking etc .
Everything has the potential to give you cancer.
Everything has the potential to cure you from cancer.
Homosexuals all know each other and work together to promote "buggery" and other vices.
The BBC is run by homosexuals, jews , communists and muslims
That the UK benefit system is the most generous in the world and the sole reason that anyone migrates to its shores. Anyone not born in the UK who claims benefits is a scrounger who should be deported, even if they have worked here for 10yrs.
Paying income tax is actually more oppressive than being taken into a cell and beaten up.. Inheritance tax is even worse. But still not as bad as the council refusing to collect your bins every four hours.
The first European settlers to the British Isles never existed.
It is illegal to fly a Union Jack or celebrate St George's Day without permission from the council. If you do you can be arrested. However, if an immigrant wants to paint a mural of Osama bin Laden with "Death to the Infidels" underneath it they will be given money to do so by the local council.
In a collision between a speeding car and a pedestrian, it's not the speed which kills, but rather the inability of the driver to control his/her vehicle.
Speed cameras don't save lives or calm traffic.
Daily Mail readers are the only species on British soil paying taxes, so forget about tourists, foreign workers/investors and international students.
The 'Human Rights Act' exists only to furnish convicted child murderers with cushy, Xbox and Plasma-TV filled 'cells'.
If a white person and a non-white person apply for the same job the State makes the poor employer pick the brown person against his will, even if the brown fella is an unqualified, blind, comatosed ex-street sweeper and the job is Neurosurgery.
If a crime is committed by an immigrant it is much worse than if the same crime was committed by a native briton. If the immigrant was here illegaly, the severity of the crime is automatically increased tenfold.
When white people run businesses they are hard-working risk-takers who deserve their riches. When hook-nosed darker races do the same they are scheming, greedy cabalists working together to exploit and extort.
There's nothing to fear when you've got nothing to hide. (Apart from that small lizard penis.)
It is extremely difficult to run a business in the UK because Labour (who are controlled by homosexuals and trade unionists) have tied them all up in red tape. Any and all success in the UK economy from 1997-present was the result of the previous Government. Conversely, the banking crisis had nothing to do with previous Conservative policies. Especially Thatcher's.
Chile under Augusto Pinochet was actually freer than Britain under Labour. This was because, once you set aside minor issues like torture, murder, rape, banning of political activity and military-controlled government businesses had less red tape to deal with and there were no speed cameras to entrap and victimise motorists.
The Anglo-Saxon Race English-speaking peoples of the world are essentially united in all things and any disagreements are the results of infiltration by jews, homosexuals, muslims and atheists. Whist America currently leads the reich unofficial community of english-speaking nations this anomaly will be corrected in time.
Whilst there is a need to crack down on crime this does not apply to speeding drivers or those killed or injured by so-called "corporate negligence" because anyone injured by the former should have damn well looked where they were going and those who regard the latter as victims of crime simply don't understand business
When Melanie Philips claims that all Muslims are involved in a conspiracy to infiltrate and destroy Christian Europe she is not comparable to the likes of Slobodan Milosevic and others in that region who may have claimed similar things as they were dirty continental Slavs with hate-clouded brains and she is an clear-thinking Briton telling it like it is. If you can't understand the difference then you are a fool!
The police are powerless to tackle serious criminals because the courts are full to bursting of (white) cornershop owners on trial for selling hot cross buns in flagrant breach of the law banning Christianity.
If a young person assaults a pensioner it is a disgraceful crime deserving of a long spell in prison (but under New Labour, the prison will be like a holiday camp.) If a pensioner assaults a child, it's all right because the child probably deserved it for being a feral outlaw (and the prison New Labour send the pensioner to will be a terrifying Victorian oubliette.)
It is not hypocritical to fiercely defend the Middle Class and then immediately attack the "metropolitan elite"
That post office owners who deny immigrants the use of an essential public service just because learning fluent English in a few months is out of their grasp are fully integrated British patriots, whereas Frenchmen who get stroppy at being constantly addressed in God-awful Franglais are simply bloody-minded Continentals who should learn English anyway.
That the population of the UK is actually 30 million higher than official government statistics in order to obfuscate the magnitude of immigration that has blighted this country since the 50s.
Anyone to the left of Thatcher supports an "open-door immigration policy".
Any and all editorials or columnists who echo BNP policy and literature are immediately cleared of any association by referring to the BNP as "vile" or "knuckle-dragging yobs".
The term "Paki" is not racist. In particular, it's not racist if the Royal Family say it, it's just "banter".
Muslim countries are savage and there are absolutely no churches in the Middle East, therefore Britain should follow the exact same example and not allow Muslims to build mosques here.
As long as Capitalism works in the interest of the British middle-class then it should be wholeheartedly supported with any opposition being written-off as "Marxist". However, if Capitalism works against the interest of the British middle-class then its practitioners become a gang of greedy, amoral yahoos.
Women who have more than one of: a career, children, attractiveness, intelligence, weight loss, weight gain, enjoyment of life; are evil and responsible for the end of society
Paedophiles are given Viagra by the NHS because of political correctness declaring them a minority. Additionally, they are housed under witness protection which means they get to reside in luxury mansions in Spain. All this while hard-working middle class families have to pay their way when they cannot afford mansions. Or Viagra.
Young children should be mercilessly caned at school and smacked at home and verbally abused for the heinous crime of acting like children and expressing themselves. This will ensure that they will instantly stop all bad behaviour and will never learn to use intimidation or violence to get their own way
If you don't like paying income tax, hate speed cameras and think you should be able to smoke in a pub you are a "libertarian". Your support for the death penalty, Royal family, "authorities" when they administer a kicking to students or foreigners, Christian social values and your tendency to bully your family definitely do not conflict with this, it's just you freely expressing your free desire to freely tell other people what to do.
The blog you write from your fucking garden shed is at the forefront of a revolution; it's not just read by ten other fat angry bald middle-aged men who sound-off about "Brussels" and Gordon Brown in the comments section. The fluttering St George's cross, picture of a knight in armour and picture of people smoking in a pub on the masthead with "BAN THIS EUSSR!" across it in white letters make you look serious and grown-up. Also, the fact that your site gets loads of hits and supportive comments from people calling themselves thinks like "White_and_proud1" and "BNP_Mike" means nothing.
Unaffordable housing and the lack of council housing is entirely the fault of asylum seekers, immigrunts and teenage mothers who are all given 7 bedroom mansions for free (with a free car and 2 forrin holidays a year naturellement) and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Tories selling the council houses off in the 80's and stopping new ones from being built.

Many a true word is spoken in jest, as they say.

Gizzajob someone ????????????????????????

I did try last week Dave.
