“The whole bill for balancing the public finances is being sent to the already hardest hit in society. It's just a choice made by a government that cares about the strong, a brutal one.”

MP Li Andersson (LA).

This weekend alone has 5 antigovernment protests in different cities.

Majority of the parliament is living on a different reality then the rest of us.

which can also be seen demonstrated in these “money saving tips” given by MPs to those whose social benefits are being cut.. (picture.)

Blog entry by a fellow mastodonian @artomelaranta about the status of the once equality inducing, welfare state Finland.

(which btw rose into that status after the wars by putting its chips on free education, social services, public services and supporting the weakest. all that is the worst cuss words for modern right wingers.)

“IS IT RIGHT? THE GOVERNMENT IS CUTTING SUBSIDIES TO SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANISATIONS, EVEN THOUGH THEY PROVIDE NECESSARY SERVICES AT LOW COST.

- After these cuts, how will we ensure a decent life for those who receive help from these organisations? asks Laura Meriluoto of the Left Alliance.”

“You could say that the government is attacking civil society.”

BF before election: No defunding from the poor! no defunding from the finns! no defunding from the veterans!

BF now: well actually, if we’d be the ones on the steering wheel, there would be much more defunding happening.

While the government battles those who try to weed out corruption and tax frauds, they’re also attacking part time workers and the unemployed. Like Santtu who makes 1200€/month.

“If it is indeed the case that after the cuts planned by the government, the salary will be deducted directly from the labour market support, it would mean about 450 euros less income per month, Santtu says, based on his calculations.” #politics #politicsFI #rightWingPolitics #finland #systemicViolence #welfareCuts

'Tory-led austerity has been directly linked to worsening health outcomes in the 20% most deprived areas of Glasgow and Dundee,' according to a Glasgow Centre for Population Health study report on worsening death rates, which 'lays the blame squarely at the door of the UK Government.'

All levels of Government need to act to stop what they're calling a 'social emergency'

This is a truly disgusting article from the @mailonline which demonises the working class, the vulnerable and the disabled. It completely misses the point about the need for state support and ignores the causes of the increase.

Sadly, the Daily Mail readership is high.
