    The DWP ignored reports that linked the suicides of 600 disabled people to them failing “capability assessments” in just a 3 year period.

    And yet Jeremy Cunt and the rest of the tories are targeting the sick and disabled once again with their “back to work scheme”. Fuck those arseholes so much. I used to say I wouldn’t wish lupus on anyone, but Tory politicians might just deserve it.

      Current plan seems to be to cut the numbers on any disability benefits then if they wont apply and take jobs offered no matter how crap or unsuitable cut their unemployment related benefits. They literally want people to die with that policy combination as there will be people incapable of managing a regular fixed job schedule kicked off disability.

      Majority of genuine dole bludgers aren’t that bothered about sanctions as they have alternate off book means of income. More pointless cruelty to cut costs to shore up state pension rises.
