Gizza job...
Take a look at this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lldrc/Panorama_Disabled_or_Faking_It/
Skip to
minute 25 for the bit where an assessor from Atos (the private company employed
by our glorious overlords to decide whether - I say decide whether , I mean
'affirm that' - those shirkers on the incapacity-benefit-as-was are actually
incapacitated or whether they just need a bit of 'tough love' to get them over
their breast cancer/schizophrenia/amputation and back onto the checkouts) asks a lady who
has made multiple attempts on her life 'why she's not dead yet'. Then check out
Malcolm Harrington, the govt's independent reviewer of this surprisingly
unpopular scheme, as he gravely reveals he 'doesn't like' that 'some people'
might suffer as a result. Nice house, Mr Harrington. Experienced much incapacity
have you? How about 92 quid to last the week, seen much of that? And how about
losing your health, independence and job, only to be told 'hey, you've got one
arm, right? You've got a finger? You can push a button! Button-pushing's a job!
Back to the JC-Plus with you, you scrounger.' And all because some bright spark in Whitehall decided that, rather than trouble his mates with some ACTUAL TAX it made way more sense to recoup their failings via you. Cos I don't think you'd like that
much, either.
