We’d already reported that A4e, formerly Action for Employment, recently appeared to use legal pressure to attempt to force two blogs which were critical of them off the net.
We then reported how one intrepid blogger had fought the decision by wordpress and had their blog re-instated, in full, with an apology from wordpress.
Well, those fickle geeks at wordpress have changed their minds and once again removed the frozen New Deal Scandal and hidden the post stating that Neil Watson had resigned as a director of A4e Ltd. A fact which is demonstrably true and recorded at Companies House.
New Deal Scandal have been in touch saying that they don’t have the energy or inclination for another email tussle with wordpress but will be back soon with a new home.
A4e seem to put a lot of effort into protecting the upstanding citizens of the internet from the truth about these shady corporate scumbags.
If you google A4e, all but two of the entries on the front page are websites run by A4e themselves. Google ‘A4e are cunts’ to get a more accurate representation of what most people think of these bullying … cunts.
Blogs and websites, even those on the left, have so far remained quiet on this issues. We say attack now and attack often. If they want a war with the interweb, then let’s give ‘em one.
And if you’re one of those lefties who just doesn’t like to think about the unemployed too much, well, good news, you don’t have to! There’s a whole load of liberal issues to get your teeth stuck into.
Do you care about the Palestian people – kill A4e in the face
Care about local services being sold off to private companies – kill A4e in the face
Care about freedom of speech and internet censorship – kill A4e in the face
Care about benefit fraud – kill A4e in the face
They are even involved in tormenting asylum seekers and immigrants by helping to administer the ‘Life in the UK’ test. So No Borders types join us and kill A4e in the face.
Or if you just care about the poorest and most vulnerable people in our class being exploited, bullied and harrassed just so A4e founder Emma Harrison can buy more stately homes then kill A4e in the fucking face.
And they probably do some really bad shit to the environment as well.
So there you go, there’s something for everyone. Fire at will.
UPDATE: facebook group now set up at:
Stop A4e censoring the internet
UPDATE NO2: New Deal Scandal is back for now but aren’t confident about staying that way. WordPress appear to have relented once more, we’ll keep you posted.

We are back again (for now) but I am giving it maybe a few days before it happens again.

Well said.. New Deal Scandal is a fight all leftists should now be fighting. We support you over at raw-rap.com and if interested we are trying to highlight welfare/poverty issues and if you want to start up a group get connected up with our social networking section.

It appears that even though Neil remains an employee, someone else took over as Finance Director. I am advised by a marketing employee at A4e that there is nothing unusual or suspicious in Neil downgrading the ranks at all. Good to know… lol

I attended the two week gateway course with A4E – not only was it completely pointless, I ended up having an argument with them over volunteering. Now I realise that that was just the tip of the iceberg.
