Please read this. I know it’s long, but please read this. Today it’s Human Rights Day.  In 2010 a German psychiatrist whose parents had suffered horribly in the 2nd World War, told his patient that he believed them paranoid for claiming the UK was heading the same way as Nazi Germany. Last year he resigned his post, and left the UK, saying he no longer believed them to be paranoid, and he could not bear to work any more in the UK seeing what it is becoming. So called ‘Godwin’s Law’ ceases to be a valid argument when real parallels between Nazi actions and current actions are in effect. it is time for it to cease being used to silence the voices of those who are suffering. The DWP has ordered the IT company ATOS to measure disabled people’s 'work capability’, they have ordered that regardless of how many people ATOS see, a percentage of them must be taken off benefits and forced to do labour for free until they get a job. A percentage. Not, whoever is fit enough, but anyone at all if you’ve already hit your quota of people who can’t that week. Benefit fraud in the UK was down to 0.3% that’s a microscopic number that most countries would have crawled over each other backwards to get. ATOS is required to deliberately fail as close to two thirds of all claimants, that means out of every 1000 people they are assessing, 666 of them are too severely disabled to work and are no longer getting any money to feed themselves, clothe themselves, pay rent on their home, or employ someone to come and take them out of bed in the morning and help them have a shit.  I’m being graphic, because you really need to realise just how awful this is. People are starving, people are dying, the last figures released were that 10,000 people had died in the first 10 months of the scheme alone. No one knows how many have died since, the DWP has refused to release the numbers.  This scheme has now been going on for 3 years. You do the math. Disabled people are effectively being murdered by the state, they are being deprived of food and shelter and any means to actually function, and left to die. Many have taken the quick way out, because they cannot see any other choice. They’d rather die suddenly than slowly. Others, even successful applicants, have developed mental health problems that they never had before, because the assessment process is horrifically traumatic,  many have watched their assessor openly lie on the assessment in order to prevent them getting the money they need. And they have no easily accessible way to stop them. They are being put on trial for their disability.  And don’t think that medical professional input helps. ATOS will not contact your GP, and they often deliberately ignore the proof provided by a Consultant or any other MD who has been involved in your condition. People are being murdered by deliberate neglect. And who is behind all this? Who is advising the government that this is a good idea? UNUM medical insurance, who specialize in selling insurance to provide financial support in the event of a sudden illness. Oh the cash cow, they see it coming. Unum’s work capability assessment has been banned in the USA, because it was found to be deliberately abusing genuinely disabled people by the thousands. They can’t suck on that vein any longer, so they have come here.  The government have put a ban on anyone in the media revealing Unum’s involvement in this process, and they have paid off the press, who are now flooding the newspapers with “benefit scum, the lazy disabled shirkers who are taking your tax money.” Yes, really. Disabled people are being abused on the streets by other members of the public. Not occasionally, but every single time they leave the house. Every time. I’m asking for help. I’m asking for desperate help. If you are not a British citizen, please spread the word, because frighteningly, very few Brits are even aware that this is happening. Richard Sanderson kills himself after he discovers his benefits have been stopped and he and his children will no longer have a roof over their heads Brian McArdle died of a heart attack the day after he was declared 'fit for work’ and had his benefits removed. Epileptic Colin Traynor died form a massive seizure brought on by the stress of having to appeal ATOS’s decision to stop his benefits and declare him fit for work, shortly after his death his parents found out his appeal had been successful Internationally famous Scottish writer found dead, the letter declaring him 'fit for work’ was found beside his body Karen Sherlock fought for over a year against the onslaught of ATOS repeat assessments, lost her benefits, managed to regain them and died 2 weeks later. Herfriends described her as “terrified. Beside herself with fear. She lived her last months desperately scared that her family would not survive the onslaught it faced. ” you can read her own words here David Groves died of a heart attack the day before his ATOS medical as he scoured the internet in a panic for ideas on how to provide for his family if he lost his benefits Stephen Hill was awaiting major heart surgery but was declared 'fit for work’ by ATOS and as a result of the stress this caused, suffered a heart attack and died shortly after Birmingham man’s benefits were stopped and he was ordered to find a job, he died less than 6 weeks later of a heart attack, his family believe the trauma of having no money and no hope of a job led to his death David Barr committed suicide after discovering he was declared 'fit for work’ Christopher Charles Harness: suicide Craig Monk: suicide Anonymous female: suicide Jack Shemtob: suicide Linda Knot: suicide Leanne Chambers: suicide Paul Wilcoxson: suicide this is just a handful. -- source link
