Oh I know, I can’t bring myself to watch anything on the news today, I might turn the air blue ranting at them - which wouldn’t be appropriate having my dd here with me, and we’re having such a lovely day making Christmas cards

Came to this late. We are part of Cheshire West Against the Cuts Facebook group - which includes people of different jobs (and none) - some might find this useful for debate and action. See:
