Politics / World News. Steve Keen Out-Thinks Larry Summers. If Credit is Not Created Out of Excess Reserves, What Does That Mean? 2 Nobel Economists Confirm that Credit is NOT Created Out of Excess Reserves. September 20, 2009. We’ve all been taught that banks first. Build up deposits, and then. Extend credit and loan out their excess reserves. But critics of the current banking system claim that this is not true, and that the order is actually reversed. Sounds crazy, right? Bankers own the earth. If you...

In Bloom: Atos are now miracle healers, apparently.
http://amylouisejones.blogspot.com/2013/09/atos-are-now-miracle-healers-apparently.html
Wednesday, 11 September 2013. Atos are now miracle healers, apparently. About a week ago I received another esa50 form in the post, to reassess my eligibility for ESA. I initially thought it was a mistake, so I rang the DWP to ask if it was a mistake - and the lady said 'no it's not a mistake, your condition has a six month prognosis'. Flabbergast, I requested a copy of my WCA assessment to see what had been written. 11 September 2013 at 12:27. 11 September 2013 at 13:07. 11 September 2013 at 13:36.

Democracy vs Mythology: The Battle in Syntagma Square | sturdyblog
https://sturdyblog.wordpress.com/?p=734
Just another WordPress.com site. Democracy vs Mythology: The Battle in Syntagma Square. June 18, 2011. I have never been more desperate to explain and more hopeful for your understanding of any single fact than this: The protests in Greece concern all of you directly. The powers that be have suggested that there is plenty to sell. Josef Schlarmann, a senior member of Angela Merkel’s party, recently made the helpful suggestion. China has waded in. So let me deal with some of that media Mythology. Among it...

Frontline Hackney- A day in the life of the Law: Cancer: Who gives ATOS?

Frontline Hackney- A day in the life of the Law. A third sector lawyer writes about what makes him mad, sad, and happy to be human. Wednesday, 27 July 2011. Cancer: Who gives ATOS? Annie holds a letter from a NHS doctor telling her that she has cancer of the thyroid gland. If you place your hand on your throat you can feel it, just about. It's where your thumb is. The Tribunal doesn't list her case for a year, and then they fail to send her the papers, so the hearing has to be adjourned again. 8220;I fee...

Frontline Hackney- A day in the life of the Law: Ship Shape

Frontline Hackney- A day in the life of the Law. A third sector lawyer writes about what makes him mad, sad, and happy to be human. Tuesday, 11 September 2012. Aiden has a job. In fact he has two. He has a British wife, and British children. Born in a former colony, he came to this land with a valid visa and settled. He pays his tax and national insurance. What could be fairer? It's even sadder that after Aiden's MP intervenes and asks the UK Border Agency to confirm that they have received Aiden's paper...

Life, benefits and work with an invisible illness. Wednesday, 24 October 2012. Destitution awaits those "Fit to work" but too sick to sign on. Proposals to reform the appeals process risk destitution for sick and disabled people. A letter from my local ME support group to our MPs on another gaping hole in the safety net:. Re: government proposals on the mandatory reconsideration before appeal provision, Welfare Reform Act 2012. Several of our members who have had a “fit to work” decision over...As is wel...

Help us stop Conservatives from time-limiting disabled benefits | Liberal Conspiracy
http://liberalconspiracy.org/2011/12/10/help-us-stop-conservatives-from-time-limiting-disabled-benefits
Help us stop Conservatives from time-limiting disabled benefits. 1:51 pm - December 10th 2011. It seems that the Conservatives are simply not willing to give an inch on Time Limiting ESA. Just to be clear, this means that if you have worked and paid national insurance contributions you will face an assessment. If that assessment finds that you are indeed unwell, but may be able to do some work at some point, you will only qualify for support for a year. I have written about time limiting extensively here.
