My goodness! To be honest with you, I thought we'd have hit over 1000 signatures by now. I am a little disappointed. But the signatures are coming! If I could, I would pay to publicize my petition so that it gets more exposure! Perhaps next month... Wow, 2017! Stay strong, stay on the scene! But do not be a machine! Yes, you can probably see why I didn't become a rapper! Anyhoo! Would you believe that I received a payment from the HardShi* Fund? Yeah, it happened! I think it was the toilet paper question that swung it for me! These people are perverts, to say the least! I learned that I received the fund last night and that the mysterious decision-making people from the Service Centre actually gave me a call at around 15:04 to notify me and to make arrangements for the repayment. However, one of the wonderful things about these newfangled smartphones is that they log every call coming in and out. So, even if I had missed the call, it would have been logged on my phone! I can tell you right now that no such call was made! My new work coach is showing signs of being odd but a different odd to my former work coach. This new one comes across as cold and detached yet she has the outer appearance of a Sunday School teacher. Yes, it is always the quiet ones. She was trying to tell me, "They called and you didn't answer..." Trust me, I sat by the phone all day yesterday! I even had to cancel a job interview earlier on today as I did not know if the Hardluck Fund came through. I was not in the mood to look at the state of my account due to a £300 hole that is causing chaos as I type! I am hoping that I can get another interview slot as this job looks very good. I also hoping that my new work coach just happens to be pathologically intelligent and detached. This would be a good match for my intelligent and pissed off demeanor - even though I do try to cut back on the anger and focus upon remaining cogent. I can do pathologically intelligent and detached as opposed to being pathologically stupid and unreasonable as my Tricky Vicky was and probably still is. If it's broke and can't be fixed, leave it! THE MILGRAM EXPERIMENT It strikes me that a lot of people working at JCPs around the UK are just obeying orders... What does that situation remind you of, huh? Yeah, exactly! "Just following orders," can justify just about any abhorrent thing you can do to a living entity. And I have seen the frightening things that are taking place around the world - Palestine and Syria! It is truly heartbreaking to come to terms with these ongoing attacks on our greater potential. Hey, I don't see how shooting a child can bring about one's greater potential. I just do not get how people wearing these uniforms can find it in themselves to pull the trigger on someone who is completely defenseless. It beggars belief if only these videos did not appear on my Facebook timeline from time to time... It is just sickening beyond expression. Right now, there are people working within Jobcentre Plus (JCP) buildings around the UK who have made up their minds on who they are:- Tricky Vicky & Dim Tim have decided to be as nasty as humanly possible towards JCP clientele. These "work coaches" are responsible for ensuring that the vulnerable become more so through imposing sanctions upon the legal entitlements of those who need welfare assistance. Tricky Vicky & Dim Tim just love it! They love making people suffer! Then there are those who haven't quite made up their minds and play it by ear... A client shows that he or she is not really looking for work and they are quite happy to sink their claws into such fools! However, if a client shows that he or she is seriously looking for work then such work coaches who are sitting on the fence would go easy on the genuine client. And, remarkably, there are some work coaches who have had a client try to pull the wool over his or her eyes be very lenient regardless. Yes, such foolish clients may get a mild telling off as a reality call or the work coach would just laugh it off while at the same time conveying to the foolish client that if he or she continues to take the piss then he or she is going to be thrown to the lions. To be honest, I think I would be the latter work coach/JCP worker. I would hate the system that I am under and not be quick to be ruthlessly evil. But there again, I just would not work under fools who think that they are doing the right thing by hurting people. Hurting the vulnerable is a very Tory symptom. This willingness to attack the vulnerable can become infectious to the average man/woman on the streets; the media spreads the spores of hate. Working people on their way to work either buy or pick free newspapers that are filled with the hate the unemployed rhetoric. I remember telling someone who works for my local supermarket about the possibility of UK citizens getting a basic income without having to work for it and she just couldn't cope with the idea. I think that's what many people think about "welfare" especially when it is called "benefits". I can tell you that I do not exactly benefit from welfare. No, do not get me wrong... I am very grateful to be able to maintain some basic level of existence but I would rather be working. I would obviously be earning a lot more and therefore I could do and experience more in life. I haven't been on holiday in over 10 years! Going to the cinema is a bloody luxury that it is almost like going on holiday! I think most people who are on "benefits" would rather be working. However, robbing people... Ooops! I meant to say... Sanctioning people who are on "benefits" (welfare assistance) is never a good idea. We need to stop taking orders from foolish people. Here's the Milgram Experiment: http://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html KEEP SAYING NO TO THESE IDIOTIC AND INHUMANE SANCTIONS! CEASE SANCTIONS TO WELFARE ASSISTANCE NOW!!!
