Bournville is transliteration from Arabic which actually means "delicious food that praises Allah through its very existence" #foxnewsfacts
Muslim fundamentalist group "the Quakers" had alcohol banned in Bournville, Birmingham over 100 years ago #foxnewsfacts
I'm at the Birmingham claimants union demo against benefit sanctions at broad st jcp @boycottworkfare @johnnyvoid
So I'm keeping this account for whenever I'm at an event so I can live tweet it but probably won't be around anymore really.

Even when I wasn't working I'd still only look at twitter every hour or two, but read all the tweets. Can't do that anymore
I'm assuming twitter changed the API to reduces calls on their server and save money but only getting 30-45 mins of tweets is crap
Used to be that tweetdeck would download tweets through the day and I'd spend time reading them in the evening but now no client does afaik
I'm not really around anymore, miss this place but combination of no tweetdeck and work has made it unusable unfortunately :(

Advice leaflet on challenging JSA sanctions from Birmingham Claimants Union. advice-birmingham.net/How-to… @ukjcp won't like it if you do it!

Idea is that they'll find work but there's not enough jobs around for that so it's bullshit. Most will go hungry/cold/homeless/prison.
heating is a fucker though, especially when you're on a card meter, you can't build up debts so you go cold. Grim reality for so many.
or crime of course, I would be quite happy with people robbing tesco et al when benefits are stopped, gotta eat somehow haven't you

In the old reigme a week sanction you might be ok but now the minimum is a month, you're fucked when you get sanctioned - debt awaits
48,000 people have benefits stopped for three years. three fucking years with no money, no chance of scraping through with mates help there
JCP management are well into this, even breaking regulations at Sparkhill JCP to get more sanctions: birminghamagainstthecuts.wor…
