This was bound to happen with the propoganda the government put out.
all we can do is sit back and watch. society are and always will be sheep. they can't and never will see through the hypnotism. they're too weak. all we can do is sit back and watch. |

It is very possible that the quoted 'insult' was just joking around.
It was Labour who started any so called 'campaign' with the introduction of ESA. |

We have had lots of cases recently where vulnerable people with learning difficulties have been targeted by bullies and it has even resulted in one mother committing suicide after killing her daughter because of abuse by a local yobbo gang.This before all of this campaign began.I can see more vulnerable disabled people being targeted by such because the government is supporting the idea that the vast majority of disabled are not entitled to our help and compassion in their pathetic attempts to sell their austerity package.It doesn't take much for such **** to use any excuse.We will probably see people hauled out of wheelchairs to prove they are faking..or be falsely reported on the fraud line. I already bought the idea of austerity but not at the expense of those unable to defend themselves.:mad: |

The other abuse case you are mention has absolutely nothing to do with this story in relation to benefit cuts. |
Re: Benefit cuts are fuelling abuse of disabled people, say charities
There always has been and will always be abuse of disabled people .The fact that some charities have chosen to link such abuse to government policy on benefit fraud and welfare cuts is a disgrace .In doing this the charities will segregate the disabled section of society even more .What do these charities think will happen ?do they think the government will do a 'u' turn and cancel all the reforms based on a few stories from charities and organisations we know are against the cuts ?

I see you do have a lot so say about benefits yet it really doesn't affect you, of course you are well entitled to your opinion but because myself being on the other side of the fence I obviously see things slightly differently, because it matters more so. I'm sure you read what BBC says and watch their programs like saints and sinners highlighting all the scroungers that are claiming benefits that are better off than you and that you have formed your opinion based on something that doesn't affect you as a whole. I'm sure no matter what they now say in the media it will not sway you to see what it is really like to a lot of people, and it's that kind of ignorance those that are hit have to put up with and fight. Well done the Guardian for that article. |

The government is not suggesting anything of the sort. The government are not in control of the compassion of the population. If you want to help a disabled person, and show them compassion I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do so without government interference |

The current wave of attack on fraudulent benefit claimants has hit the most vulnerable first. Either because they do not have the ability to fight their corner or because they are single under 35 and live on their own. Top this off with the dreadful tabloid slant on "scroungers" and this is the result.
The benefit savvy know how to twist the system to suit & will continue to laugh all the way to the bank. Whilst the easy targets suffer the abuse. Until there are clear signals that abuse of the vulnerable is wrong there is no hope. Judging by current appeal rates ATOS is one of the worst culprits. |
