ANOTHER DIRTY TRICK TO DISABLED PEOPLE Updated 5 Feb., 2018



Update 5 Feb., 2018 -- Ester McVey has now replaced David Gauke. It is the fifth time since 2016. McVey is a controversial figure. She voted for all the cuts that had been made. A demand has been made for her resignation.  


Update 4 Oct., 2017 -- Damien Green was replaced by David Gauke in June. MPs asked for a delay of the new Universal Credit which suppose to include all benefit payments and payable every two weeks or one monthly. Mr Gauke ignored the plea and will roll it out within one month or two.

The new Universal Credit bound to be for the advantage of the Government and include more benefit cuts. 

Update 11 April, 2017 -- PM May cold bloodedly let the proposed cuts on Personal Independence Payment go ahead which hurt the most vulnerable disabled people. 900 care workers leave their job every day but surely PM May and DWP couldn't care less otherwise she would not have agreed to it.

Cuts to child care, housing benefit and disabled people from £102 per week to £73 came into effect from 1 April, 2017. Its a £30 pw cut which will have a devastating effect on already worst off people. Do not forget they will also have to pay spare Bedroom Tax. There will be an endless stream of death from starvation, homelessness and suicide.


Updated 7 Oct., 2016 -- The Department of Work and Pensions Secretary is now Damien Green.

UPDATE: 19 July, 2016 --
Piti Patel is now the new DWP Minister but will report back to Ian Duncan Smith who is the DWP Secretary.

By all previous accounts the two could not be better match and is worse for the poor and disabled. Both were in several scandal of claiming money -  taxpayers' money.

Is it another dirty trick that thousands of disabled people are being blocked to get through to the benefit line.

The Tories are really excelling themselves in efficiency and perfectly run departments. Wherever they can cut and causing a mess to already under hardship people they do it.

Callers can not sign up for the Personal Independence Payments (PIP) 18,949 times due to "heavy demands" from January till April which equals 4,700 a month.

It cuts out 1.7 per cent of all calls to the Department of Work and Pension (DWP). Furthermore the PIP line charges 45p a minute. Has any of the high-earners of Government thought about it and realised what it means for a hard-up disabled person to pay 45p a minute? They just have not a clue because all their expenses are paid by the taxpayers on top of it.

These two points above alone are sickeing but typical Tories. They will not cut the over 50 chief executives of the NHS earning £500,000 each plus bonuses but cut and squeeze every penny out of people. Yet, at the same time, swinging great speeches about their concern with the hard-working people.

The free PIP claim line only 0.04 per cent got through. What clever ideas all round.

Another scandal Ian Duncan Smith charge 45p to talk about benefits. ISD hopped about when Chancellor George Osborne announced the £12billion Welfare cut and resigned when Osborne done a U-turn with the pension. He is that kind of character.

Only very recently the Independence Living Allowances had been change to PIP and as always the result is a mess withholding payments which are urgently needed. As they say "there is always a method in the madness" and the changeover must be beneficial to the Government.

Statics show that Tories' cuts to help disabled people have increased to over £24billion since 2010 and Cameron can be proud of the achievement as well as of the cost of 2,300 peoples' lives by either suicide or starvation. It will be worse when the new £12billion Welfare cut come into effect.

What a record for a Prime Minister who supposed to be there for the benefit of the people.

This year, with the new £12billion Welfare cuts on top of already hardship comes into effect it is estimated that half a million people loose a further £1,500 a year in support. What do these fat cats think people live on? There are over one million people fed by foodbanks to keep them alive and in a seventh richest country.

It is pointless to write down the DWP spokesman statement which was such a load of rubbish and offensive to the disabled people.

Yet, the Prime Minister paid out £700million to Serco and G4S when both delivered rotten services.

He also was determined to enter the bombing of Syria which brought nothing but enemies and each mission costs £500million.

He grants MPs, every year, another rise of 10 per cent who have all the expenses paid for by the taxpayers.

Now 26 MPs are under police investigation accused of fiddling 2015 Election Expenses.

The Government is nothing but a disgrace to the country and its people

CAMERON PROMISES, PROMISES AND NOW MAY updated 29 Sept., 2017

Now May does the same - all promises in GE2017, elected  and dropped them in Queen's Speech.

Looking back over the years nothing has changed. He still promises and does not keep it.


The UK Prime Minister David Cameron visited the troops in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He gave the troops a promise that seriously injured armed forces will be paid £130 a week for life. They will also get any further vital support for their injuries.

This would means for injured personnel to get top-of-the-range prosthetic limbs free on the NHS.

They will go straight to the front of the queues at hospitals.

Jobcentres will give unemployed people help to find work which fits the particularly injured person.

IVF for partner of servicemen who have suffered groin injuries.

Mr Cameron said: “The military covenant is all about the country saying to our armed forces we respect and revere you and we are going to do more for you.

“We are saying that with disability benefits the military will have a special set of circumstances so they get a special deal.

“It is one of the many ways we should respect our armed services for what they do for us.”

Brave and glorious sounding words as always Mr Cameron delivers but he is also known and too many times to promise and not deliver. Another thought comes to mind that the Government announced this month to make 20,000 regular soldiers and 17 major units redundant by 2020.

The Government will change the benefit system and a new one called Personal Independence Payment for all working-age people with serious disabilities. Under the new scheme any previous claimant will be re-examined and many their cash will be stopped.

The troops will not be re-examined and therefore face no humiliation or cash stopped.

Troop welfare campaigner Col Richard Kemp, ex-commander of UK forces in Afghanistan, said: “I welcome any move that offers added support to the brave men and women injured serving their country.”

Mr Cameron defended the plans for Army cuts, saying: “I think it’s in everybody’s interest to have a defence budget that really adds up.”  Ahhh such wise words. The defence budget would add up even more if they never entered the Afghanistan war or Iraq. Mr Cameron and his cabinet would have the biggest shock in their lives how much money they would have in the defence budget.

A fine example is Cabinet Office Minister Oliver Letwin’s suggestion to bring the remaining 9,000 troops home next year and that alone would save £3billion.

At the same time Mr Cameron spoke in Helmand he also said that the troops would remain till 2014. Again he saving on his own people instead of caring about other countries.

DEPORTING FOREIGN CRIMINALS



Since every country has its own fair share of criminals it doesn’t want foreign criminals as well. So why is a country like Britain not allowed to deport them?

According to the statistics around 4,000 foreigners who committed crimes in this country can’t be deported. This high number not only is a danger to the country in committing crimes again but also very costly because they mostly live on benefit including their families.

Further information was revealed that about 1,500 foreigners are imprisoned every month. This again puts a strain on the prison service as well as cost on benefit. Out of the 1,500 only 375 are deported when they finished their sentences. It is also reported that one criminal escaped nine times and cost and effort were spent to catch him again.

Everybody, including MPs, wants a foreign criminal deported the moment the sentence is served. As a matter of fact it would even safe a lot of time and money to deport the person the moment he/she is convicted of a crime. The moment the person commits a crime all the appeals and privileges should be taken away. That person does not acknowledge or appreciate the better life style in this country. Why should a person have to right to appeal against deportation? The abused the law in this country. They know fully well that they are in a foreign country and therefore should abide by the law.

The worst interfering body is the Human Rights Court. Yet, France and Italy are deporting them and defying the decision of HRC why doesn’t Britain? When they defy the decision they have to pay a few hundred pounds which would justify it by saving benefits.

The government is forever calling for austerity but they will not safe money where it should be saved.
