That article doesn’t say what they’ve done, so what would be the charges?
Some people need to stop moaning about the Brexit poster boy being beaten, and just accept the result.

Obviously I think everyone is against the sanctions that get given out to that extreme, but I am interested to know what she’s done to get 4 months of sanctions. I can’t see it on any of the articles.
Pretty sure she’s ginger.
Why only 4 months then?
Waiting for the baby’s hair to grow. Could be longer.
Fingers crossed. Ginger cunt.
I think that’s what got her fingered.

I don’t give a fuck about Farage. I do give a fuck about a Prime Minister with no mandate having a government with no mandate.
So, if all these results get reversed, do we get Ed Miliband as Prime Minister?
Jim Callaghan.
I’m fact, that would suit me down to the ground, as it would mean the Brexit vote wouldn’t count as there was no mandate to allow it.
Fingers crossed all these seats are lost.
That’s an absolute crock of shit.

I’m sure there are others better qualified to comment than myself but I believe that those with experience in this area have said that the best success rate is to enforce a zero tolerance policy to drugs and alcohol within shelters. It’s not perfect by any means but I was told by someone who runs a scheme in Southampton that this was the most effective way of helping people.
That’s an absolute crock of shit.
And that may well be the case. I don’t know for sure but this particular person did appear to have a number of years of experience assisting those in need on the streets of Southampton though as well as helping others beat the cycle of addiction. I can see why it would be a lot more difficult to assist individuals who show no desire to beat an addiction and I can also see why a zero tolerance policy to drugs and alcohol is enforced within homeless shelters since they are likely to have high numbers of recovering addicts. If alcohol abuse for example leaves someone destitute and out on the street, then giving them a place to stay whilst they continue to abuse alcohol with no intention of stopping may very likely be less of a kindness than the alternative.
There are no easy answers and I can see the downside to both approaches but I do believe that the homeless charities in Southampton are doing a fantastic job in very difficult circumstances largely without any sort of recognition.

well this is new to me. Feel a bit out of the loop. I wasn’t aware that they now sanction income support claimants. But maybe she didn’t attend the job centre enough for interviews, training or work experience. It would have been good to have a bit more detail.
Day 2 of new job and I’m pretty angry for some of the people I will have to assess for often no fault of their own but a system that is really against people.

We’re all paying more to be worse off, and the bill is going up.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell just shone a stark light on the hidden victims of austerity. According to his new analysis, the British public are paying through the nose for the Conservative government’s economic agenda.
McDonnell asserts that Brits have each paid £859 for austerity under David Cameron. He also claims that figure will rise to £1,121 by 2020.

Can’t really complain about that when you voted for Brexit and it’s resulting in the same thing…
Whereas I am getting more pound for my Buck when I transfer it back to Blighty
Could just as easily go into Brexit thread, but it’s more about the arrogance and total fucking incompetence of the Tories, so I’ll plop it here.
As a child that grew up in the 1980s, and from one of those horrible ITV families, I’d often spend Saturday evenings watching George Peppard’s “Hannibal” Smith chomping on a big cigar, cranking out the catchphrase “I love it when a plan comes together”. If a leaked Deloitte memo is anything to go by, it’s a sense of smug satisfaction that Theresa May won’t be feeling soon. Nor is she likely to break into a shit eating grin over Brexit.

The problem is, I don’t think anyone knows what to do about Brexit, without causing massive financial issues for the country. From a simply economic point of view Brexit is a disaster, and so it is extremely difficult to plan for.
My hope is that the longer it goes on, the more chance we have of not enacting it.
It was clear that there was no Brexit plan before the vote.
There was just a short list of fantasy hopes held up by some whopping lies to attract extremists.
That’s why 48% dismissed it.
The only surprise now is the surprise of some that this government or civil service doesn’t have a plan.
All the clues were there.

Agreed.

Don’t spunk your extremist wad early. We’ve just had Trump, and we’ve the French and German elections to look forward to next year. We could have ended up tied to a continent in which the duopoly is controlled by NF and AfD. But yeah, we’re the extremists 
That’s why 48% dismissed it.
Which is why I’ll dismiss this comment. You’re a smart man, RB - but no-one’s been smart enough to know the thoughts and fears of 15 million people. I’d _guess _a good amount voted Remain because they were scared into doing so, either at the thought of personal economic loss or being labelled a racist.

Yup, but as I’ve said earlier, if someone gives you the choice between two options, the expectation is that they’ll be able to deliver either.
The Tories offered two options without ever knowing how to deliver the second. This is why it’s more about incompetence and arrogance, not about the people they scared into voting Remain.
I’m not sure it’s arrogance, I just think they didn’t believe that as a country we were that stupid and intolerant.
Obviously they were wrong.
What also hasn’t helped is the muddied water in regards to enacting Article 50 through Parliament. Hard to have a plan when there’s a chance that none of the plans will get through parliament.
The first priority of any government is security, right? Next year, we’ll probably be downgraded to “harsh language” (props to Aliens).
Royal Navy warships will be left without anti-ship missiles and be forced to rely on naval guns because of cost-cutting, the Ministry of Defence has admitted.
The Navy’s Harpoon missiles will retire from the fleet’s frigates and destroyers in 2018 without a replacement, while there will also be a two year gap without helicopter-launched anti-shipping missiles.
Naval sources said the decision was “like Nelson deciding to get rid of his cannons and go back to muskets” and one senior former officer said warships would “no longer be able to go toe-to-toe with the Chinese or Russians”.
