"I think everyone should help out at a soup kitchen, or a place of refuge, at least once in their lifetime. Such an experience would open their eyes, as the people who come to such places are a mixture of our societies." #Homeless #Poverty #Austerity

A Glasgow soup kitchen

Those who visit a Glasgow soup kitchen have much to teach us about being a caring society – it’s a place where humanity shines through

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? In lieu of a #GeneralStrike (extremely difficult to coordinate and enforce), let's all commit to a month of #austerity: If you’re looking for a real, doable way to apply pressure, flex our economic might, and show solidarity, join me. Sacrifice your latte for Democracy!

The Finnish unemployment rate is soon the worst in whole EU📉 The rate has reached 10.0%, just short of 10.29% of the Spanish unemployment rate, which is currently decreasing. Finland is becoming a poster child for the failures of #austerity policies yle.fi/a/74-2018449....

Fed up with having to repeat this but when politicians and the MSM say "there is no money” they are LYING to us. The UK is a sovereign government with its own bank. It can create as much money as it needs. No money is the excuse for unending #Austerity. #LearnMMT

Remember the old ‘fiscal cliff’ excuse? Good times. #coalition #excuses #austerity #nzpol #repost #cartoon

Cartoon depicts a crumbling rocky cliff and two people walking off the edge poised to fall. NZ National Party leader Christopher Luxon is tossing up a cricket ball ready with a bat "I can keep smashing out the big promises while we're still on such a firm budget footing right, Nicola?" Deputy leader Nicola Willis is clutching at pages with figures dropping into thin air below. Landscape features resemble style of Road Runner cartoons.

Government could not “cut [its] way out of a crisis” and that it was a “fiction” that public services did not need “better funding through taxation”. Right and right. #Austerity is what got us into this mess inews.co.uk/news/politic...
