I urge you to nominate Jeremy Corbyn for Labour leadership. This country has suffered enormously due to austerity measures and the pursuit of Neo-Libralist Capitalism. The rich are ever richer and the poor are ever poorer, once publicly owned services are now all but a thing our children will never see. The NHS being the last vestige of the Labour legacy to be publicly owned and even that is under threat if TTIP is to go ahead. You have been the MP for Anglesey for a while now and you know the pressures your constituents face with factories closing, a lack of full-time employment, generations of poverty resulting in low educational levels, compounding the issue of finding a job that pays well. As the Mental Health clinic becomes centralised in Llangefni and Tory MPs making unemployment a new psychological disorder to be 'fixed' the population of Anglesey face a very unknown future. The Labour Party was formed as a coalition of Trade Unions to stand as a voice for the working class of the UK. Services were sold to the public and the welfare state was invented here following World War II. This brought us out of crippling poverty and we saw our economy flourish. Since 1979 a Tory legacy of privatisation and 'the right to buy' social housing has once again crippled us. Jeremy Corbyn promises anti-austerity, he is the closest to what Labour originally stood for, he is a flicker of light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Please consider nominating for him to be party leader, bring the country back to the people, lift us out of poverty.

Dear Joe and members of the Liverpool City council,
I am writing to you to complain about the planned “White Man March” I understand that the youth group is planning to hold in our city. I want you to use your power over events in our city to prevent this action from happening. I am asking you to do this based upon the following reasoning: - Liverpool is known to be (based upon data from the office of National statistics) historically one of the largest settlement areas in our Nation. By allowing this group to walk our streets you are allowing them to insult the community who pay your wages and voted you for office. We are allowing them to insult our friends; colleagues; neighbours and our families. – Anecdotal and media evidence suggests that this group have previously been in other areas has led to (predictably) violent outbreaks – we do not want that in our city – The group walks under the banner of ‘Freedom of speech’ however, under the offence principle (widely used in the literature discussing the issue) they should not be able to do so. There are limitations such as incitement; hate speech and oppression which are indicated. What they plan is offensive to society and certain racial groups. – Race or ‘skin colour’ is one of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act (2010). The Act states under the section titled Harassment that behaviour that: (i) Violates dignity or (ii) Creates an intimidating; degrading; humiliating or offensive environment is prohibited. I believe that this march violates this Act. – The first statement of the Human Rights Act "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." I leave you with this – I have a nine year old son who has communication learning disabilities. He struggles to understand others; what they are trying to communicate to him and how to express himself. Last month he told me this:">Mummy, did you know that in the past black people were not allowed to sit on the bus with white people? Can you imagine being so cruel? But do not worry, A lady named Rosaline Parks wouldn’t move and now we can sit with our friends” If my son can understand the moral and social distaste of hatred due to skin colour, I would suggest it is not a difficult concept to work with.
Yours Hopefully
One disgusted human in Liverpool

…DEAR MR. CAMERON (II) THE SEDATED… I worry that while language must always evolve -contemporary politics amount to excessive force — a devolution of language that must be addressed, assessed &re–dressed.
Tough decisions must be made...
Why must the weak suffer so that the hard–working might appear pro–active?
Where is the distress for those who are put out, or put-upon under these circumstances?
Who are we to decide how we are to feel about who we might become?
Where is the distress for those who are put out, or put-upon under these circumstances?
Who are we to decide how we are to feel about who we might become?
…For our future.
‘It is a fact that ash will not live where the water is too clear. But if there is duckweed or something, the fish will hide under its shadow and thrive. Thus, the lower classes will live in tranquillity if certain matters are a bit overlooked or left unheard. This fact should be understood with regard to people’s conduct.’ — Hagakure,Yamamoto Tsunetomo
Our weakness is not that those of us who do not live comfortable – secure lives might find ways of living ‘beyond our means‘. Our weakness is that those of us who live in excess are free of the burden of having to justify still–living beyond their means.
Must the kind, compassionate and most-caring in our society be broken by red-tape and so-called austerity –BEFORE we take a closer, more considered look at the values we’re opting to emphasise, and forcibly impart... Is that the Conservative legacy?
Will those of us who slip through the ever-growing cracks in our system simply disappear given enough time –must we harbour civil unrest in the guise ofrealism. The fallout is very real. It cannot simply cease to be, regardless of Torrie soundbites & ‘witty reparté‘.
Don’t mistake lack of coverage for silence.
We will be heard –we must be heard.
Sedatives wear off...
