Do you think Labour DESERVES to get a majority in 2015?(84 Posts)
Bearing in mind Labour's record in power, the salient features shown below; having inherited the best decade in 100-years to make important social changes, make provisions for pensioners, build enough homes and a sustainable economic model – what use is 'a high tax and spend' party, during a fragile global recovery and an approx £1,500,000,000,000 (£1.5 trillion) of Nation Debt????
Facts; Labour were the most spun media controlled and corrupt administration in living memory with 'Blairs Labour cash for Lordships' investigated by the police, Brown's lowering of Capital Gains Tax to as low as 10% to attract party money from the City and MP expenses totally out of hand on THEIR watch and Labour's Parliament Speaker Michael Martin running the show, now a peer for his 'services' to MP's expenses.
Pro EU without trusting the people to vote… pro open door immigration from 2004 for personal gain AND without increasing home building to make room …with 580,000 under 25-year olds here already unemployed... pro flat lining State Education rather than raise standards…pro needless laws/police State with more legislation passed in their 13-years than the previous 100-years… pro Human Rights Act in 1998 causing so many 'rights' for criminals/terrorists problems.
Pro MRSA/C.Diff killer germ infested NHS hospitals hiring more managers than nurses.. pro saddling hospitals and schools with 25-year plus Private Finance Initiative debts….pro 24-hour drinking, gambling and declassifying drugs….pro expensive quangos costing over £70 bil a year to run.. pro expensive to run local government (with non jobs) leading to Council Tax hikes up 110% on their watch..
Pro raiding private personal pensions from 1998, including private sector companies to near final salary extinction...pro screwing state pensioners with derisory annual State pension e.g. 75p in 2000….pro raising the lower band tax rate to screw the poor in 2007…pro sale of 40% of UK gold reserves under $300 an ounce versus $1.900 high…..pro relaxation of banking regulation to dangerous levels pre financial crash..…pro sending 1 million of our manufacturing jobs elsewhere by 2005 BEFORE the crash
Pro lying to go to war and without equipping soldiers with basic kit and helicopters... ….pro nuclear energy to stop lights going off in 2015, but didn't get around to building any.…pro defence/Trident, who knows, let someone else get around to it….and leaving us less domestic food production secure than in 1997.
With a balanced budget by 2002 having adopted 1997 Tory spending plans, pro unbalanced economy = ANNUAL budget deficit of £157 bil a year in 2010 and national debt of £1.5 trillion by 2015 needing unpopular austerity, or go the way of bankrupt Greece…….pro equality but left power in 2010 with more inequality than in 1997.
And finally as mentioned in their 2010 manifesto, were planning MORE fat government, MORE national debt, LESS inefficiency cuts and INCREASED taxes to all to pay for their incompetence (that would kill any economic growth), they cynically never got around to DETAILING in any detail to fool their voters – and it clearly has.
I don't think any of the main parties deserve a majority to be honest. They are all much of the same - posh idiots who have not set foot into the real world.
It's no time for experiments, with political parties that flip flop on their domestic policies every other year, and have no one thats even visited Westminster, never mind worked in parliament, sat in cabinet or have experience in ministries - and we ain't got 5-years to teach them.
Are there no Labour supporters micro criticising the 'Conservative Scum' for trying to fix the majority of those macro Labour policies by design, going to say on THAT record, Labour deserve to get back in?
Maybe they will just prior to 2015, after all 'the heavily lifting' has been done, they are brave enough to publish THEIR policies; as any opportunist political party can 'oppose' and criticise everything the coalition does, without their own 2010 policies.
No time for experiments! Vote for the party which has consistently proven will f**k you in the arse!
Read the list above Cochise, I can't think of any government that knowingly, through their own policies (in 'good times'), have done more move damage to 'the people' they STILL say they represent.
What if Labour HAD won the 2010 general election and were re-elected to follow their 'more' of the same' policies of the Big State, less cuts, more spending, and more tax rises on an anti austerity platform?
If you listen to Labour, in 2010 spending nearly £160 billion more than the UK earned did NOT falsely inflate our GDP figure, even though Government Spending and Consumption are major components of GDP and there was sod all else 'growing' at the time, accept unemployment.
This question is quite relevant as a Labour government is likely to form the next government in 2015 and could follow a similar economic model, so thankfully WE DO KNOW, as socialist France was following a similar strategy to Labour's - and despite France having a much better BALANCED economy and a much smaller annual budget deficit than the UK's – France has had to reverse those polices and follow a similar strategy as Osbourne's Plan A..
But even after veering away from the anti austerity plan a year or so ago, France had 0.3% GDP in 2013 and expect 1.0% in 2014, whereas the UK had 1.3% GDP growth in 2013 and expect over 2.7% growth in 2014 - and now has RECORD unemployment at 11% (3.3 million claiming) having gone UP substantially in 2013 as the UK's was slowly trending down and is now at 6.9% and a 5-year low.
The following article sums up the unsustainable similarity in socialist economic theories of Miliband and France's Hollande and explains how France now has light at the end of their economic tunnel – but is seen to betray a socialist model, even though it was following the road to Greece.
"How Francois Hollande changed but Ed Miliband stayed the same."
"Back in the summer of 2012, Ed Miliband was exalting his new hero across the channel, French president François Hollande. The Labour leader could not have been more generous in his praise for his opposite number in the French Socialist Party:"
Miliband: "What President Hollande is seeking to do in France and what he is seeking to do in leading the debate in Europe is find that different way forward. We are in agreement in seeking that new way that needs to be found and I think can be found."
"The man Miliband pledged an ideological allegiance to was the François Hollande of old. Two years ago the new French president was naively idealistic; stubborn in his belief that big government, high spending, more borrowing and punitive taxes on the rich was the path to economic recovery. He was a nice man, but meek, bookish, a nerd. It is not difficult to see why Miliband liked the idea of emulating the politician who was, essentially, a baguette-brandishing Ed."
"In the two years that followed Hollande changed, but Miliband didn't. France was brought almost to its knees as unemployment hit a 16-year high and Hollande's approval rating reached a record low for a French president. As the rest of western Europe slowly began to recover, it was the one country that had chosen a socialist route that stagnated. Ferraris queued up at the French-Swiss border as wealth creators tried to flee their nation's new debilitating tax rates."
"And so, at the beginning of this year, Hollande changed. Out with the old failing mantra of the state, in with significant cuts to public spending. Out with the old tax the successful regardless of what it does to the economy dogma, in with generous tax cuts to businesses. No longer does Hollande want to be called a 'socialist'; he is now a pragmatic 'social democrat'. His critics on the left call it a 'lurch to the right'."
"Presented with first-hand evidence of how such policies have ruined a neighbouring country's economy, Miliband is telling voters that he will do exactly the same thing if they give him a chance. The very same policies undertaken by the old Hollande, which the new Hollande now rejects, are being embraced with vigour by Labour's leader back home."
"Unlike Hollande, Miliband is not going to waver from his dogmatic ideals no matter the consequences for his country. Unlike Hollande, Miliband will never be pictured in a motorcycle helmet on the front page of a tabloid with a bodyguard delivering him and his mistress a bacon sarnie. If he (Miliband) wins in 2015, we only have to look across the channel to see what will happen. Don't say you weren't warned."
In conclusion this is proof a Labour 5-year UK anti austerity programme would have been an economic and social disaster, resulting in much higher interest rates to satisfy the UK's institutional deficit/debt funders and a significantly higher National Debt to pass on to our grandchildren than the likely £1,500,000,000,000 (£1.5 trillion) in 2015.
i have never known a government as ruthless as this on the poor of this country whilst living like rich swine giving jobs to their mates and party doners and inventing policy to line their pockets
I'm guessing Labour can't rely on your vote OP
They will bloody well be getting mine
and mine
Definitely not. Sorry, they've lost their way.
Whilst I'm willing to concede they would be 'less cuntish' than the Tories (as quipped on another thread), they are still a neo-liberal business party.
A vote for any of the mainstream parties is a vote for a coninuation of the nutjob crazy casino Capitalism we've had for the past 30 years.
I think the Conservatives managed to swoop in just as the global finance crisis hit and were able to make it all labours fault. Granted they made some mistakes, but not every one that the Tories claim. I stupidly voted Lib Dem last time (what a waste that was!) having been Labour all my life. I will be returning to Labour in 2015.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Depends on their policies, but I won't be voting lib dem or conservatives. They both can do a running jump as far as I'm concerned.
None of them deserves to win. That is the problem.
I don't want more of the same that any of them have previously dished up. I have no idea how I will vote but the idea of Labour getting back in fills me with as much dread as the Tories staying in.
I might have to start my own party.
Regarding the title of this thread, as far as I can make out on the responses so far, NO ONE can look at Labour's list of policies on the opening post and say Labour DESERVES to be in government (Westminster or Local) but due to the Coalitions efforts once INHERITING the fallout from those policies on a 'cause and effect' basis, most would vote Labour back in anyway.
Isitmebut but how ideologically 'tribal' can you get, as if any party I voted for screwed the indigenous multi-ethnic electorate so much, especially the aspirations of the poor/homeless/unemployed - by senselessly INCREASING NON EU immigration to double that of EU citizens, just when opening the door to POTENTIALLY 475 million EU citizens (and not know how many were coming) – I'd never vote for them again.
Do you really not see the non racist but economic and social correlation BETWEEN Labour's policies during their administration, and any hardship on the masses now, having had 2.5 million new joint non and EU citizens arrive, who both found work and somewhere to live?
Blaming the Conservative led coalition for trying to get the UK's finances under control is understandable to a point, as Brown's Labour administration REFUSED to detail their 'cut less, spend and tax more' policies. But that administration had a few honest, competent Ministers within back then, who were prepared to come clean on the extent of the problem – rather than adopt the Mr Micawber wish and a prayer of 'something will turn up' so keep spending money on an inefficient, fat, State.
But once Labour were shown to be spectacularly wrong and no imminent General Election, they came clean on both the extent of the financial problem and what EVENTUALLY they would have to have done about it, probably not before the UK needed an IMF bail-out as in 1976.
"Labour to substantially cut benefits bill if it wins power in 2015"
"Labour will cut the benefits bill "quite substantially" and more effectively than the Tories if it wins power in 2015, the shadow work and pensions secretary said on Tuesday."
Unfortunately the truth is that never mind if they DESERVE it, Labour WILL get back in due to the dodgy boundaries; as in 2005 a 35% share of the votes gave Labour a 64-seat majority. In 2010 the Tories won 36% of votes but were 20 seats short of a majority.
And we'll never know how there annual raising of Council Taxes (to beyond 110% since 1997), raising of National Insurance and Fuel Duty post 2010 (from a budget prior to 2010) and many other taxes to the populous they kept to themselves - would have SOLVED the 'cost of living' crisis you get after any recession, never mind the deepest and longest in over 80-years - made worse by the unbalanced UK economy prior to the crash in 2007/8.
None of them deserves to win. That is the problem.
I don't want more of the same that any of them have previously dished up. I have no idea how I will vote but the idea of Labour getting back in fills me with as much dread as the Tories staying in.
^ This. You've just summed up most of the electorate's feelings and explained to a large degree the rise of UKIP. Most people aren't inherently racist. But a lot of us (myself included) don't really feel any of the main parties deserve to win and we don't want to really vote for any of them.
I have always voted Labour in the past, but this time will be voting Green.
I live in a safe Tory seat anyway (they nearly parachuted Boris into it, that's how blue it is) so unfortunately whomever I vote for, it's pretty much a wasted vote. However...
I want Labour to be an OPPOSITION, which they're not at the moment. And whilst I think one should vote for policies rather than personalities, I can't get behind Ed. So no, on that basis - NOT because of the tl:dr posts that the OP posts so regularly, would just like to make that very clear - on that basis I don't think they deserve to win. I want a Labour Party with some bloody fire in its belly. Won't happen at the moment.
Green policies appeal to me. I loathe the Tories with every fibre of my being and dread the thought of another govt led by them. Labour have lost their fight. UKIP are any thinking person's worst nightmare. So, Green it is.
Teaandhorazine …. While I'm not sure why if you understood what they inherited why you "loathe" the Tories so much, but I do know that if I had been a Labour Party supporter, it would not come down to Labour Party personalities, as my conscience would never allow me to vote for them again – whether we were in a two main party parliament, where either the Conservatives or Labour Party will always form a new administration, or not.
Looking at Labour's last 13-year record (in my opening post), for a political party who says that they are so 'in touch' with the masses – I shudder to think what more economic and social damage their policies BY DESIGN, could have done – so where is the attraction to them and hatred for those trying to come up with solutions, Labour was too cowardly to try in 2010, thinking of their 2015 vote..
Just 'taking' pensions, that few people think about when they are young, never mind the often derisory annual increases Brown gave State Pensioners, his policies have produced a massive pension inequality between the Public and Private Sector workers, starting back in 1997, that 17-years later, would have severely impacted their 'cost of living' whatever pension provisions the Private Sector had – and no doubt PUT UP the cost to the taxpayer of funding Public Sector pensions, Final Salary in particular..
When Labour came to power in 1997, they made three 'raids' not in their manifesto; they sold nearly half our gold at a 20-year low price, hiked up Housing Stamp Duty from a flat 1% rate, and took away pensions dividend tax relief, Brown was warned not to do as it might kill Private Sector Company pensions, especially Final Salary..
"The man who stole your old age: How Gordon Brown secretly imposed a ruinous tax that has wrecked the retirements of millions"
To-date, according to the OBR that 'raid' has saved the UK Exchequer around £118 billion, but the cost to Private Pensions (that back in 1997 were the best funded in Europe), that both lost that tax relief AND accrued performance from the investments, at a modest rate, is over £250 billion. Private Pensions were not just for wealthy people, they were for everyone, especially those working for companies that looked to give THEIR workers a similar pension to most State workers.
- But since 1997, the number of Private Sector workers with a defined benefit pension has collapsed from 5million to 1.7million.
- And in 1997, 34 per cent of staff at Private Sector firms were in a final salary – or defined benefit – scheme. By 2012, this had slumped to just 8 per cent – just one in 12.
In a double-whammy to those that have lost their Final Salary pensions, for those companies managing the liabilities that provide the Public Sector Final Salary schemes (and remembering that Labour hired around 1 million new Public Sector workers in 13-years to around 6.1 million), that same dividend relief raid means it now takes MORE taxpayer funds to GUARANTEE those schemes payouts.
And as the majority of the £1.2 trillion liability (that comes out of annual government budgets when fall due) is unfunded, it is another big 'Prudence' Brown expenditure time bomb he left, along with Private Finance Initiative Schemes, annually out of NHS and our Education budgets for decades to come.
If I understand correctly, the Local Authority pension fund is separate and that is where just over 22% of your Council Tax goes to fund – and this will give you some idea why Council Tax under Labour went up over 110% in 13-years – arguably so much fairer than the Poll Tax, Labour politicians used to march against.lol
"Revealed: Labour's crazy town hall 'non-jobs', including the walking co-ordinator on £32,000-a-year and the roller disco coach."
I'm guessing OP has a paid job as a conservative PR?
None of them deserve to win, but even friends who are paid up Labour Party members shake their head at Ed Miliband. I will probably spoil my ballot paper.
H.M. ….. well you'd be guessing wrong, as if I was, I would have been tempted to include the Coalitions attempts to redress Labour's neglect of pensions/pensioners in pursuit of a fat, inefficient and expensive State.
After experiencing 1970's Labour, I followed New Labour very closely and I was tearing my hair out for 13-years at their total incompetence in ruining what they inherited in 1997.
Now you and others can vote for who you want, but at the end of the day either Labour or the Conservatives will run the country and they will have the choice of records while in power.
Every Labour government in history has brought Britain to the brink of bankruptcy. Of course they don't deserve power.
No I don't think they deserve to win.
They are completely rudderless. Both the Ed's are scary in different ways and I don't want to live in a country run by incompetents.
However as a vote for the Tories is a vote for Gove I don't know who to vote for. I will probably vote Liberal again although I will probable be the only one.
no. they cannot be trusted with our finances. moreover, constituencies should be made the same size so we don't end up lumbered with a labour gov despite more people voting for another one party.
No they don't deserve it

Three places are available in this online programme for leaders of organisations in the Toi Tōtara Haemata and Toi Uri Kahikatea investment programmes.
Update: Applications for Building Resilience have now closed.
There are three online modules and follow-up coaching sessions to help leaders put their thinking and plans into practice. The programme is provided by United Kingdom's Arts Marketing Association (AMA) and UK brand agency Wolff Olins and supported by Arts Council England.
The modules are:
This shares perspectives, ideas and case studies from the arts and commercial sectors to give participants an insight into how to shape and define a compelling vision and future direction. It is intended to inspire arts organisations to define a core purpose which can be shared across the organisation and drive everything that is done.
This module is led by Robert Jones, Head of New Thinking at Wolff Olins, with input from Andrew McIntyre, Director, Morris Hargreaves McIntyre.
This shares core principles for developing a resilient business model so a company can realise its purpose. You will be introduced to a tested business tool and receive insights, examples and a suggested process for reviewing, adapting or transforming a business model.
This module is led by Julie Aldridge, Executive Director, AMA.
You will explore what makes an effective team and the role of the leader in influencing and shaping this. By creating an environment of 'adaptive resilience' you can foster a mindset where there is little or no desire to return to how it was. Instead, teams actively want to evolve, grow, shrink and reinvent themselves to achieve their shared vision.
This module is led by Mark Wright, Director, People Create Ltd.
You can choose from one of the following expert coaches:

to be disgusted with out mum's behaviour(30 Posts)
I was just loading the shopping into the car with dh and dd, the them lovely big parent and child bays.... When a mother came storming over to her car which was next to ours with baby about 10 months i would under her arm.... Like a rugby ball. The child was crying hysterically .. To me probably hungry as it was nearly tea time. She was shouting at the child to stop crying and practically threw it in to the car seat shouting 'get in there you little s**t' and told her child to 'shut the f**k' up. Appalled!!!! Absolutely shocked by this mothers actions that poor child. My dd who is 4 watched this turned to me and said ' that mummy isn't very nice is she' . I seem to be increasing seeing mother swearing at their children especially when at soft play! I don't claim to be perfect but i would never swear at my child. Has anyone else noticed this??
I haven't seen it very often thankfully but I have come across some right nasty mothers and it shocks me too that someone could talk to their child like that.
I am by no means perfect and I do shout at my children on occasion but I would never use words like that, it is just so unnecessary and horrible.
Not justifying it, but sometimes people have bad days. It's hard to call what a person's like with a snap shot while they're obviously not at their best.
She's obviously stressed and on the end of her rope.
But, yes, I would have judged too. That's not how you treat children.
Agree with above.
You have no idea what mother had been throught leading up to the incident.
Swearing is totally awful however.
I hate seeing parents swearing at their children too, and I would have judged for that.
However, you can't just suppose the child was hungry - might have been tea time for you, but mealtimes aren't set in stone. You've no idea why the child was crying.
I'm not surprised if it was hungry, she was buying food wasn't she? It really could be anything, what if she's been too ill to get up the shops and there's no-one to watch the baby but they ran out of food... you have no idea. It's not like she hit it or anything right? And she did strap it in?
She shouldn't have been rough with it or talked harshly to it but YABU. You had a husband and a 4 year old, she was alone with a baby
I don't like the swearing at the child but I've been that mum.
I'm 7 months pg with SPD and 2 older DDs and I have atthe end of my tether had to rugby ball carry one or theother of them into the car and pin them into their seats as I couldcouldn't physically restrain or catch them any other way. By that point I probably have been absolutely peak stress and shouted at them.
At other times I'm a lovely muffin baking kissing discussing loving mother and feel ashamed for people seeing me at my worst and knowing they thought as you do.
so while her swearing was bad you don't know how she is at all other times.
YANBU... sadly there are parents like this and you will always find others ready to defend them.
Whatever the reason there is still no excuse to call a child "A little shit" or tell a child "to shut the fuck up".
Why would any reasonable person believe that is ok under any circumstances.
Is there a reason why you think you may be unreasonable to be disgusted with her behaviour? It looks from your post that you seem fairly certain with that fact.
She must be absolutely miserable to shout at a baby like that.
I hope she managed to calm down, get home and have a cuddle with her baby.
I agree you can't judge on a snapshot. I always try not to. But I have worked with children with social, emotional and behaviourial difficulties and their behaviours can often be traced back to parents who scream, swear and don't know how to control or regulate their anger. So I sometimes fail in my attempt not to judge...
We all get angry with our children as they all will misbehave in public at some point and it is very embarrassing. The mother i mentioned was just one of many i see swearing. I shout at my child if there is reason to but my gripe is swearing not angry mothers. And this incident was more shocking due to the age of the child.
To some people though that is every day language, swearing is just words and they genuinely don't realise or see anything wrong with it. I'll never forget one parent complaining at school pick up one day that she had been called in over her son's language her response was "well he must have bloody well picked it up here because we never fucking swear" it was just such second nature to her to use that language that she no longer saw it.
Walk a mile in her shoes......and all that.
Ive held my screaming toddler under my arm like a rugby ball. Many times in fact.
Hold him in the normal position and he trashes around and is a huge danger to himself.
I havent told him to fuck off though.
I have carried my DC like rugby balls quite a lot (not the bigger ones any more). They all love it, and it means I can hold other stuff as well (very vertical house).
I'm not cross while I'm doing it though. Nor do I swear at them.
mismylinford - sorry but you really have no idea what she has been through. Yes "We all get angry with our children as they all will misbehave in public at some point"
But what if your child never behaves, screams at least 18 hours a day. You only came out because you've run out of: bread or milk or sanitary towels or nappies. You were only there for 5 minutes, but he's already thrown himself on the ground and tried headbutting a sharp corner. Oh and you haven't slept for more than 4 hours for 10 months.
Swearing is not good. But some people have it really hard.
I have to admit I would think "Holy cow. Poor bitch"
The first thought being wholly judgmental, the second more sympathetic.
I can't imagine she thought she was being reasonable either. You were probably witnessing the end of someone's tether being passed.
It happens to everyone, anyone who insists it hasn't happened to them is either lying (maybe desperately, to themselves) or isn't the primary care giver for their child (they have nanny, maybe).
well, that's the truth of the matter. I have all the sympathy in the world for a mother at the end of her tether who snaps and behaves inappropriately, and is then eaten up with remorse because she knows it was wrong, and she resolves not to do it again.
I have very little sympathy for a mother who thinks that routinely manhandling a child and swearing at them is normal and no big deal.
The problem I suppose is that if your paths only cross for 30 secs you don't know which is which.
I don't swear at kids and I don't like it. But it is just words, the use of which is down to custom and habit. Parents can have a devastating impact on their children without once using slang, let alone swear words, and some parents that swear like troopers may never have lost their temper and shouted at a child.
I don't think, given that you didn't see what lead up to the incident or know what else the woman is dealing with every day, that it's fair to be disgusted with her. Of course she may be a nasty, selfish person who can't wait to get rid of the kid and is emotionally abusive all the time. But she might just have suffered significant physical and emotional harm the likes of which would have lead most people to run screaming from their responsibilities, but she managed to keep it together and safely, if roughly, transfer her child to the car where she could calm down. (Of course most likely it's somewhere inbetween). You just don't know.
hmm, it is strange how some posters will defend a mother shouting like that at their child, but if it was a man shouting at his wife like this, then they would all be saying LTB
Poor children
Nomama, you know I think most parents have moments of absolutely crap parenting where you look at yourself and wonder htf I have ended up in the middle of this shit storm largely of my own creation. I certainly have but most parents do not roughly manhandle and swear at their baby and a 10 month old is still a baby even if it happens to toddle a bit.
The fact that this mum was doing it in public to a hysterical child is worrying as it is another sign that she has passed quite a long way from being able to hold on to what a normal response might be. I would have empathy but I would still be worried because there are too many babies and children brought up surrounded by low level violence and aggression and not being able to differentiate between an end of the tether mum who goes home and sobs and cuddles and an abusive one who goes home and smacks, shouts and puts baby in its cot for the rest of the evening makes me want to not give the benefit of the doubt to the mother but to the baby.
baby about 10 months
So the baby had no idea it was being sworn at, didn't understand the words and wont remember that it happened for more than 5 minutes?
Nope. Don't get the angst. How about you deal with YOUR children and let her deal with hers.
If this baby is regularly treated like this it is of course profoundly damaging. How bizarre to think you can do what you like because they won't remember. Actually even tiny babies are visibly traumatised by indifference never mind aggression. There is a wealth of research that recognises they importance of getting the first few years right so brain development optimises emotional intelligence and behaviour.
One incident in the context of general good care isn't a problem but living like this is profoundly damaging.
Oh, I think very many good parents treat their kids roughly, more often than they'd like to remember/admit. A quick shake by one arm, the hand that slaps the back of a knee, the face that screws itself up and shouts, the hands that 'firmly' sit you in your seat, lifts you off your feet and firmly put you down somewhere else, grip your arms slightly too tightly, pats the newly nappied bum a tad too firmly....
Lots and lots of little things.... no one a big deal and all perfectly understandable. I'd even say that roughly handling toddlers, 10 month olds etc is and has always occurred, all parents will have had at least one moment where they pass that line.... momentarily.
The vast majority of occurrences are wholly harmless, seldom occurring actions. And, as I said earlier, every parent will go through it, over and over again. No-one gets out of childhood without a parent losing it... often only the parent remembers, thankfully.
The women being described may or may not be a serial offender. Either way would have sympathy for her. No-one wants to be like that with a small child. There has to be something that isn't being coped with. There has to be a something a someone could do to help. Hopefully she has that someone!
But I wouldn't judge her on what the OP saw and heard.
If this baby is regularly treated like this it is of course profoundly damaging
But we don't know that it is.
There is a wealth of research
I'd be interested to see that, can you link?

Dharmendra, Raj Babbar, Amrita Singh, Pratibha Sinha, Farida Jalal
Dharmendra, Raj Babbar, Amrita Singh, Pratibha Sinha, Farida Jalal
Soon after assuming the official position, DSP Ali Haider Jaffri(Dharmendra) proves his caliber by rounding up a gang of bank robbers. Soon after this incident, the news of Continental Bank Chairman, Srivastav's son having been kidnapped spreads generating tarnishes on image of DSP. However, the biggest blow comes down heavily on Ali's career, when his own daughter Shagufta(Pratibha Sinha) is kidnapped along with her fiancé, Naseerudin(Rohit Bhatia), the son of the Home Minister, Syed Noorudin Ahmed(Raj Babbar). The question remains whether Ali will yield before the kidnappers, having his own near and dear ones locked within their captivity?

Oh, Deer: Punch Bowl Social Billboard Casts a Long Shadow
Punch Bowl Social
Punch Bowl Social has been putting up billboards in a few locations around town, but the suit-wearing deer pictured on the one looming over downtown at 20th and Broadway is turning heads for more than just those impressive antlers. Passersby are getting a rise out of a shadow -- or is it a stain? -- on the billboard that's giving the mascot a little extra something.
See also: Now That Weed Is Legal, Can It Co-Exist With Beer During the Great American Beer Festival?
Restaurateur Robert Thompson, whose Seasoned Development restaurant group also includes Punch Bowls in Austin and Portland, Argyll and the upcoming Griffin German beer hall in RiNo, says he was unaware of the effect until photos started popping up on Twitter and Facebook.
Twitter member @beertographer noticed the unusual shadow on the billboard and snapped a photo for posterity. And not looking a gift horse in the mouth, Thompson replied on Twitter: "This puts new meaning behind the word Stag. Hats off, Daniel the Deer."
There's nothing quite like free advertising through social media, so the Punch Bowl team wants you to keep the tips coming. "We didn't design the image to work with the shadow, but wouldn't change it for anything," adds Thompson.
He has a point.

The March edition of Health Policy and Planning has a review and a series of commentaries devoted to the topic of scaling up of global health initiatives in health systems. Most of these articles are available free of charge so you might be interested in checking them out (and while you are there – check out the editor's choice article too!).
1. In a review, Lindsay Mangham and Kara Hanson provide an overview of the literature on the concept of "scaling-up" including an attempt to define the term formally. The authors write:
"We argue that the notion of scaling up is primarily used to describe the ambition or process of expanding the coverage of health interventions, though the term has also referred to increasing the financial, human and capital resources required to expand coverage."
They then go on to review efforts to analyze and evaluate such initiatives. It is a good overview for those interested in this topic.
2. Lucy Gilson and Helen Schneider discuss how to the political commitment that is required to support the calls to scale-up programs – a missed opportunity.
3. Viroj Tangcharoensathien and Walaiporn Patcharanarumol discuss important opportunities and challenge that have resulted due to the creation of new global health initatives.
4. Finally, and although not free of charge, Rifat Atun, Thyra de Jongh, Federica Secci, my friend Kelechi Ohiri, and Olusoji Adeyi propose a framework to analyze the integration of vertical and horizontal programs in health systems. I have already recommended this reading to my undergraduate students this spring.

Kristen Stewart Dyes Hair Orange for Movie Role
Kristen Stewart is a carrot top. The actress traded her dark locks for orange hair for an upcoming movie project.
Maison de Cheveaux salon in New Orleans shared a photo of Stewart sporting her new do via Instagram on Friday, April 4. "Kristen Stewart gettin her hair ready for a new role! #americamultra #awesomecolor #houseofhair," the salon's Twitter account captioned the picture.
Owner of the salon told Us Weekly, "The director of the movie told us what color to dye Kristen's hair. [Stewart] was very sweet and cool." The star will start shooting action comedy "American Ultra" later this month.
Stewart revealed in January that she wanted to experiment with her hair more. "If I wasn't an actor, I would definitely do things to my hair. I would cut it more, I would dye it more," she told Into the Gloss. "At some point I want to do a total boy cut, completely, not a pretty, girly version, like a straight up James Dean haircut."
She continued, "And then, I'm definitely going to shave my head before I die. I will definitely tattoo my head while it's shaved before my hair grows back. I'm not sure which part, probably the bottom quadrant in the back. I don't know what the tattoo would be, yet. Still thinking."

Horace Harkness is a fictional character in the Honorverse.
WARNING: Spoiler warning!
This article contains plot, storyline, character, etc., details.
The weathered-looking, middle-aged chief petty officer in the Royal Manticoran Navy has a habit of picking bar fights with Marines; the latter regard this as a compliment, making the correct assumption that he is looking for sufficiently tough opposition. Officially, he's a gunner's mate; unofficially, he's an expert smuggler and computer hacker. Although he cut back on his illegal activities after Commander Honor Harrington took command of the HMS Fearless, he continued to use his skills to choose his own assignments.
When the ship he was on was captured by the People's Republic of Haven (commonly called "The Peeps"), Horace feigned defection and joined the Havenite Navy. Since Havenite technology was far inferior to Manticore's, he was easily able to subvert the system and engineered a breakout, rescuing his captain from execution, as well as his crewmates and (ironically) a Havenite Citizen-Captain from indefinite banishment on a prison planet officially called Hades, but best known as Hell. For this, he received the Parliamentary Medal of Valor as well as a knighthood.
He is at least as tough as he looks but he also has a softer side: he mentored pilot Scotty Tremaine and young technician Aubrey Wanderman and eventually married Iris Babcock, a Marine. He remains attached to Scotty and has hacked the Bureau of Personnel database multiple times to remain in a post close to Scotty.

Plenty of credit unions can more than likely attest to being sideswiped by an Internet predator. Between scams like phishing and skimming, Internet fraud is alive and well. Luckily credit union members are some of the most well informed consumers in the nation due to intensive online fraud education and outreach efforts.
The credit union hallmark approach to member education often includes scenarios of "what to do if you believe your account has been attacked." Jerry Johnson, President of Georgia Power Valdosta Federal Credit Union ($21.8 million, Valdosta, Georgia) knows all too well about what type of action members should take in the event of an Internet scam.
Last week a fraudulent text message was sent to Georgia Power's members, telling them their account was deactivated. Although local police were on the case, Johnson sprung into action immediately.
"It was one call right after the other," he told a local newspaper reporter. "It was all that we could do to man the phones and to explain to the members and the non-members that it was a scam and to ignore it."
"Members should know that we, nor any financial institution, would ask for confidential, personal information through a text message," he said. "Members should always verify any kind of request for personal and confidential information by contacting the financial institution via a published or known number, which many of our members and even nonmembers did upon receiving such a text."
Johnson adds that his employees proactively educate members on the latest financial scams through articles in the credit union's quarterly newsletters as well a posting articles and messages on its website.
April M. Clobes, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer at Michigan State University Federal Credit Union ($2.13 billion, East Lansing, Michigan) agrees that education is a powerful tool to combat Internet predators.
Like Johnson, her credit union was "invaded" by phishing only a few days ago. She says that the credit union has several resources for identifying the scam du jour. "Sometimes the member will get the email and send it to us, think it seems odd compared to what we would normally send. Also, nonmembers have reached out saying, 'Hey we got this email why did you send it?' Additionally, our employees will get the email."
Clobes says with the recent attempt, the credit union acted quickly and blanketed its membership with an alert.
"Members ended up receiving our email before they even got to the fraudulent message in their in-box. Then our internal programmers went to work shutting down the site so if the member clicks through they would receive an error message."
She adds that even though a handful of members told the credit union they clicked through to the fraudulent site, her team compromised the member's account, replaced important account numbers and any sensitive information in order to protect the member.
How Can You Beat the Scammers At Their Own Game?
Clobes provides insightful tips to help you stay ahead of Internet scammers:
She adds that members should remember that, "Your credit union would never, ever ask you to supply your account number because they should already know what it is." Members are advised to contact their credit union immediately if they are suspicious or have any question whatsoever about an email or message.
Now that you know what you can do to protect yourself, think about whether your bank would take similar steps in the event of an attack. Find a credit union and learn more about how to stay safe.By Gina Ragusa

|Re: SimpleDBPersistenceManager file cache?
|Fri, 20 Apr 2007 17:26:44 GMT
Miro, I thought by storing my jackrabbit data inside the database would allow multiple jackrabbit instances on different machines to access the same backing store (the db is the authoritative source). I understand that write operations on one machine will not update the cache on the other machines, but the write operations should update the blob in the db, so that other machines can pick up the content from the db (once their cache's expire). Can you let me know if my beliefs above are wrong? In the meantime, I will do some testing, and investigate jcr-rmi, etc... Thanks. Phillip ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miro Walker" <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 11:05:15 AM (GMT-0500) America/New_York Subject: Re: SimpleDBPersistenceManager file cache? Hi Phillip, Why would putting blobs in the database have a bearing on which machines can access them? Because of the way that Jackrabbit's caching works, you can't ordinarily access the same backing store (database or other) from multiple jackrabbit instances on different machines (as write operations on one machine will not be reflected in the cache on the other machine(s)). If you want to do this, I believe you might need to: * use jcr-rmi or webdav or some other custom remoting protocol to allow multiple client machines to access a single jackrabbit server instance; or * possibly look into clustering multiple jackrabbit servers using the new capabilities of JR 1.3. The latter is pretty new technology, so comes with the obvious warnings :-). Note also that blobs and workspace data are not the only pieces of transactional data that can be stored on the filesystem. You may also want to look at the DBFileSystem stuff to allow you to store workspace.xml files in there too, otherwise newly created workspaces will only exist on the local filesystem. Cheers, Miro

Movie Analysis
Can Movies Make A Difference? - The Influence Of Cinema
Catherine Ann Jones
In 1994, Quentin Taratino wrote a fictional story about Mickey & Mallory Knox, a honeymoon couple who, as a perverse aphrodisiac, randomly shot and killed over 50 people. Oliver Stone directed the film and the week it opened, a real young couple in the Midwest went on a rampage killing 4-5 strangers. When apprehended by the police and asked their names, they replied that their names were Mickey & Mallory Knox - the fictional character's names from Stone's film. The film was
Natural Born Killers
, and this film made a difference.
I wrote for a popular television series called
Touched by an Angel
. Among the fan mail one day, we heard from one viewer. This man had decided to kill himself. It was a Sunday night and he happened to have the television on CBS where he watched an episode of
Touched by an Angel
. Moved by the story, he wept then decided to give life another chance. He wrote to us and thanked us for making a difference in his life.
After earning a living from acting in NY, I grew disenchanted with the roles of women in new plays, so decided to write my own, ten were produced. In 1989, I was wooed by Hollywood after writing an award-winning play, optioned by MGM. I began also to be offered writing assignments- both features and television movies. You might say I was the flavor of the month writer in Hollywood. Driving on the Hollywood freeway, I heard a Bill Moyers interview with David Putnam on NPR radio. David Putnam was for a year head of Columbia Pictures, and producer of
Chariots of Fire
The Mission
. Putnam said something which stayed with me. He said, "If movies could be what they might be, there'd be no need to go to church."
As you know, many seem to want more from today's films and television. If this is so, then why are we getting the films we are? Because, as a rule, the creative people rarely have the power in Hollywood. It's a little easier in television as writers more often move on to producing. For instance, I was assoc. producer for
The Christmas Wife
, a movie I wrote for HBO, turning down a more lucrative contract with the networks, I opted for less money and more creative control. I cast the film myself with Jason Robards and Julie Harris earning a co-producer credit. We received 4 Emmy nominations including best film and best writing. A comic aside: a major network wanted to produce
The Christmas Wife
, "We love it, but what if -"
Though I have been fortunate and sold nine scripts, for those of us committed to socially-responsible media, sometimes we lose. Here are two of my own examples:
The Freedom to Kill: the Randy Weaver Story
. Naples, Idaho. 1992. I held the rights for two years, and was offered a deal on network television by a company who produced 4 movies a year. One catch: they all had to show Federal Officers as the heroes. I was committed to do a balanced story, not black and white. Two American families: the Weavers in Idaho and the Degans in Massachusetts. Both share a strong belief in family values, religion, and America. Both were Green Berets in Viet Nam, trained to kill, and willing to die for their country. One was a white supremacist, the other a Federal Marshall. Both were convinced they are right. Both died senselessly in Idaho, fighting each other.
It's Only Women: the Dalkon Shield Scandal
. Sometimes a studio or network will have a subject but not the story. I was hired by NBC to develop a story about the Dalkon Shield, which I later learned was a birth control device found defective then covered up by the corporation which also makes ChapStick. I interviewed 20 women and then made a composite of two women who suffered from the Shield. I was new in Hollywood and quite naïve. Instead of just writing the Shield story, I wrote a hard-hitting story about corporate greed in America. NBC expected it to win the Emmy and was excited, that is, until no sponsor would touch it. Who are the sponsors for television? Corporations. The script was never made though I was paid for it, thanks to the WGA. By the way, here's a postscript to the Dalkon Shield Story. After the victims won a lengthy class action suit, the company was forced to take the shield off the market in America. They hired the doctor who invented the birth control device and hand him travel to other countries to encourage its use. Later the corporation simply dumped it in the Third World.
My son tells me that the # 1 video game right now is
Grand Theft Auto
, which shows the way to success is murdering others. Now, I am not saying that everyone who views such will become murderers. It is said "we are what we eat." And, if as C.G. Jung said, "The world hangs on a slender thread, that is, the psyche of man" then we might consider feeding our psyches well. I'd like to think that my President gazed in silent wonder at Monet's Waterlillies, listened in rapture to Bach's Concertos, and read with delight the Sonnets of William Shakespeare.
However, "times they are a changing." There's been a shift, and though it's only the beginning, there is a new pulse in Hollywood, an opening for consciousness raising films. Last week I was guest speaker for ISLEE, a group of filmmakers in LA committed to such films. There are new production companies such as the Agape Church has created which produce only such films. Send completed scripts only.
Parallel with writing films and television, I was invited to teach graduate screenwriting at USC Graduate Film School in LA, #1 film school in America. As a teacher and writing consultant, I believe it is important to support your vision, not mine. However, more and more, the students would be writing derivative spin-offs of the latest blockbuster thrillers. If you're not going to write original stories in your twenties and thirties, then when? So after seven years, I quit teaching graduate school and later launched
The Way of Story: the craft & soul of writing
workshops first at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur then elsewhere in the states, Europe and Asia. The idea is to teach an integrative approach to writing, where you brought all of yourself to the table - not just the left brain. After a few years, I wrote
The Way of Story
book - which ironically is now required for several schools such as NYU writing programs. I guess the moral is 'follow your own star.'
"The events of world history are, at bottom, insignificant. In the last analysis, what matters is the life of the individual."
- Dr. C. G. Jung
"Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases, think for yourself."
-Doris Lessing, Nobel-winning novelist
Words like these encourage us to reach deep into the creative psyche and offer something of true value to our world. If we could infuse filmmaking with even a portion of the vision and value that lives among us, that lives in this room right now, then movies would indeed rise to what they could be.
Story has been the foundation of rituals that empower both individual and collective values since society began. Story provides both identity and standards to live by and is thus essential to our well being. It serves as a mirror reflecting who we are and what we believe in.
What story would you choose to live by?
The answer offers a clue to your soul, your deepest self. I'm sure you'll agree that it is soul which gives meaning to both life and art. If not now then when?
"Become the change you want to happen."
- Gandhi

Worried about your appearance? Think again.
Time to think about the way you look. Don't worry you do not have to try and loose weight, go to a plastic surgeon, or some other stuff that requires to change your nature. Nonetheless, there are some advice to present yourself to a Russian woman and avoid the same mistakes that Russian men make with regards to their appearance.
I will be honest with you, Russian women like clean men. But to their big disappointment, Russian men are not always capable to find a golden middle between a paranoid cleanliness and neglect of self-appearance. Your goal is to find this middle ground that Russian women want so much.
First, make sure all you clothes are washed and do not smell bad. Second, wherever you go with your lady keep you clothes ironed (with exception of those clothes that do not need to be ironed: jeans, socks, and underpants). Third, cut you nails everywhere (fingers and toes). You do not have to go to a beauty salon and pay a lot of money to have it done. However, to have a small pair of scissors with you would be always helpful. Fourth, make sure your hair is clean. Ladies don't like greasy hair. Since a lot of women better sense the world via a touch, touching your greasy hair will make a bad impression on them. Fifth, take care of your breath. You don't have to have perfectly white and straight rows of teeth, but keeping your breath fresh is necessary not only for a good kiss but also for a good conversation. You do not want to make her turn her head from you. Sixth, don't let your body odors ruin you date. Thus, always chose a stronger body deodorant that will make you fresh and nice-smelling even if you are very nervous before the date.
These are some simple rules that will score a lot of points for you on a date. Russian women are looking for a clean, fresh, taking care of themselves men.
