"The best thing for disabled children is the guillotine...."

Jesus time bomb or what?? my brother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer ..not expected to see his 55th birthday in February.. last week we had to take him to Pontefract for an ATOS assesment to see if he is fit for work....WTF

 

So sorry to hear about your brother, mate

A disgusting attitude & approach to caring for the most vulnerable members of our society.

 

Re: So sorry to hear about your brother, mate

Unfortunately some will see fit to vote them back into power again. What a depressing thought that is.

 

Re: So sorry to hear about your brother, mate

Yup.

 

They live in a different world dominated by making more money whatever or however the situation demands

 

as do most politicians,especially those at the top.

Gonna get 'right on' on your ass now (a bit, but nicely)

Put the person before the disability, he's a person with Down's Syndrome.

Thankyou.

 

Re: you are a nawty nawty boy , now go an stand on the nawty step

The saying that all politicans are the same is bunkem
Labour MPs don't demonize the disabled or try to Make the poor poorer erode their rights and lie that every person on benefits is a scrounger the labour party gets a Lot wrong but at least their intentions are to benefit the majority not the fekin few. This is not a party political broadcast

 

Re: you are a nawty nawty boy , now go an stand on the nawty step

Got to agree with that Marlon, I was very disillusioned by the last " labour " government but they did invest in hospitals and schools to benifit the majority and tried to help the disabled in various ways, but this lot are going further than thatcher ever dare think. The only people these ex Etonians are bothered about are their own kind and are waging class warfare on behalf of the elite, rich ruling class.

 

Somehow I don't think he speaks on behalf of the Tory party and I'm pretty certain that whatever you think of them they, to a man, would distance themselves from him, his comments and his views. Just because he is a Tory mayor doesnt mean this is anything to do with their politics.

 

Re: you are a nawty nawty boy , now go an stand on the nawty step

And t top it all to their and everybody elses's astonishment they ave got the lib does to sanction the most right wing gov't policies for as long as I can remember

 

Got to disagree with you there Mario it has everything to do with their policies as their fagship company ATOS is proving

 

I think I can say for certain that holding views where you want to execute disabled children is nothing to do with politics, it says more about his state of mind than the colour of his rosette. I know there is very little support for the Tories on here but even the most left thinking of people can't seriously think that this is an opinion shared by many Tories.

 

I think you are missing the essential point of course people like IDS will not come out with the same vile nonsense but the policies they create that victimise and stigmatise the disabled are far more dangerous than the ramblings of some nutjob.

 

The essential point is that our welfare system was out of control and like it or not there are a lot of people out there who can work but play the disabled card when it suits. Get them out of the system and protect those who really need it. Surely that is right, fair and common sense regardless of politics.

 

I agree their is a lot of people can work if only their was jobs for them but the tories put them out of work closed the mines even though we didn't have a plan B for power generation whilst still importing coal at high cost and then turn round and blame the people they put out of work who by the way were encouraged to claim benefits in order to close their industries
And now we have the Tories flagship company sending disabled people to work and then these people are dieing because of the pressures from this Tory backed company

 

you are right Mario,and sooner or later somebody had to sort it out.We've had years of many people claiming disability who had nowt up with them,i could take you straight to half a dozen houses where 'disabled' people are now working,one of them as a pub doorman.Some deserving people are wrogly getting harassed by the government but from my experience a lot of them didn't have any disability at all.I ran a post office for a couple of years after losing my job at the pit and I was gobsmacked how many perfectly healthy people were on disability benefits,fcukin ridiculous.

 

And these people need catching and dealing with but that is totally different to what the real policies of this lot are as you deep down know

 

Swallowed the Daily Mail line hook line and sinker. Until recently I worked as a benefit fraud investigator. And I can tell you clearly and factually the amount of people falsely claiming incapacity benefit Is infinitesimally small. In terms of other benefits the Tories have tried to abolition that support disabled people like the ILF it is almost non existent. Closing Remploy factories that help disabled people into work not exactly going to promote work for disabled people. Attacks on the disabled have risen over 300 percent in the last two years as the Tories demonise them. Is that the sort of society you really want to live in?

There are of course people who abuse the system they should be clamped down on there are ways to do this. I have been involved in them myself professionally. You target these people you do not stigmatise, bully and abuse the disabled like this idiotic government have.

The Tories have made policies on benefits up on the back of a *** packet as they have on other areas. Theresa may recently when asked to provide evidence to back up her assertions basically said because I think it it therefore it must be true.

It's easy to make policies based on sound bites without analysing the impact. For example the bedroom tax. It's impact on disabled people was clearly not taken into consideration. I am acting as an advocate for a disabled person who's local council paid 90,000 pounds to have their hone adapted to fit their needs now they cannot afford to live there. This then means that the local council will then be face with a similar bill to adapt another home for this person and also a bill to make their current home habitable for another family. Absolute madness.

The way we as a society treat people with disabilities has always been shocking under this current government it has been deliberately provocative and vicious. Truly horrendous. Anyone who supports their actions towards the disabled which I see as separate from day to day politics I have absolutely no time for.
