100 days to save DLA & A from the axe

[tbaldwin]

Hopelessly transparent tactics......just for a change eh belboid.....You know full well ive never said any such thing......so you hide behind the suggestion that i have but you have no evidence to back it up.......as per usual you sad clown.

Take it somewere else fellas.

As a third sector worker who gets to see how the sector works through my own career, i can see how come the opposition is pitiful amongst them. Through organisations like the Audit Commission etc. the government has effectively regulated opposition out of the organisations. By forcing them to take on more capitalist methods, to jump through hoops for funding or risk losing out, and to embrace market economics or risk being economically embargoed, most are now of the mindset that there is nothing they can do. They no longer function as charities, funded by public donations, but as part of an intricate link of stakeholders, all of whom rely on no-one rocking the boat. NFPs are exactly that, no matter what balders thinks, but they have changed under the Labour party into those providing the welfare that the state does. It's the Nu-Labour way... if it works, they can take credit for their initiative, if it doesn't they can blame someone else. Where possible, they will create official or unofficial PFIs between NFP organisations and the state, so that profit can be made out of it, thus denying the NFPs even the chance to plow funds back into their own projects.

I'm off to look at that pledge and see what I can do about it, either personally or professionally.

eep

don't want to lose my DLA

a couple of years - sure. but not NOW

The issue of DLA/AA reform has been raised by a number of us on the *** website and we have been told that "I'm going to have to end this discussion... it could jeopardise ***'s charitable status if it seen to encourage political means to bring about any of its objectives."

Bluey, this is from another website, as the poster points out , this is sophistry: a charity can campaign politically on issues that affect its clients(for now) They are using charity law as a smokescreen for inaction/aquiescence.

As of 14 August 17,000 people have signed the pledge, and thousands have emailed M.P's and just as important their respective national charities which often backslide on the welfare issues.

you mean "disabled people" i assume, "the disabled" isn't really used in polite conversation these days.

 

[treelover]

Apparently some govt offices are attempting to smear the campaign, saying it is part of an identity theft phish and er, that a virus has been inserted in the email, the mind boggles...
