CAMERON AT CELEBRATIONS




It seems that Mr Cameron, the UK Prime Minister, does best, sorry loves best to go around at Celebration and show himself as the great benefactor.




DAVID CAMERON AT PARALYMPICS

The truth is that he attended the Paralympics sitting there and watching the struggle of disabled achieving Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Even has the audacity to go up and presents their medals. Unfortunately only the Chancellor George Osborne was booed by 80,000 it should also be David Cameron and even more so because he initiated the Disability Benefits to be cut. After all his high education in top private schools what has that man got in him you expect more principles.





Next we see him in front of 10 Downing Street the residence of Prime Ministers smiling and glowing being surrounded by the Save The Children fundraisers. It is the first time that this organisation had to appeal to the public for funds and to high light it went to the Prime Minister. The Save The Children Fund experienced first hand how the children and families in the Midlands and North of England starving, living in appealing housing condition and have no money for warm clothing.  Yet the man who causes all this hardship and lives on the fat of the land stands there smiling and fluffing his peacock feathers. Britain is the seventh richest country in the world.


                                                PRIDE OF BRITAIN CELEBRATION


Now, he was at the Pride Of Britain celebration which has been a great invention for ordinary people being celebrated for their bravery and outstanding deeds. It is by nomination from the public and chosen by the panel. It is across all ages from children to old age pensioners who done an incredible bravery or good deed.  The Prime Minister David Cameron who done nothing but causing hardship attended the function bathing in the limelight and strutting about like peacock

Is there no feeling in the man for others? After all he had to experience himself the struggle of being handicapped in his son and father. Although the money was there and it did help, no doubt, but still he must have seen how disabled people have to try for every movement. Did that not reach him? If it did, how can he be so callous and cut the Disability Benefit, Child benefit, break the NHS, many other benefits and sits back calmly letting the energy suppliers increase the bills for hard-up people and pensioners? THIS WILL CAUSE MANY MORE DEATH THIS WINTER.

Is this the true face of the Prime Minister and does he really want that for HIS people who had face in him and voted for him?

OVER 2,300 DISABLED PEOPLE DIED till 2012 NOW 4,000


SUMMARY   Although almost a decade ago but Osborne's vicious and deadly cuts still effects people and Councils. Now he departs to an even more lucrative job joining Bankers while he left UK in the worst financial crisis but CONservatives will blame it on Covid.  

Update 30 Jan., 2018 -- May keeps ex-Chancellor George Osborne planned £12bn Welfare cuts and started it on 1 April, 2017 plus £16bn Public Service cuts. Why has she sacked him when she still follows his plans?
MAY - BRANSON - HUNT

By now 4,000 Disabled People died by suicide or starvation. 

She also wants to start the Universal Credit (UC) but the date gets postponed. In some counties it has been introduced and it causes chaos and hardship and suicides. May still insists of spreading it right across. The problem is that there is no payment for 5 weeks.  ????

Updated 2 April, 2017
Ian Duncan Smith did resign, George Osborn got sacked as Chancellor and David Cameron resign but PM May still let their Disability Benefit cuts start on 1 April, 2017. It means Disabled people receive £70 per week instead of £100 pw. There will be more death of starvation and suicides!



Nobody can live on £70 a week - paying bills, buying food and heat the home !!!!!!

Updated 16 Sept., 2016 --
Although David Cameron resigned and even left Parliament there will  be no change under the new Tory Prime Minister Theresa May. It might get even worse and it has!!

UPDATED: 31 August, 2015 --
It was assumed over 1,000 disabled people died since they had been forced back to work and their benefits were  cut. People were left with hardly or no money at all. They committed suicide or starved to death.

Now the true figure, and it is hoped it is true,  is over 2,300 up till 2012 and that in the 21st century and UK the sixth richest country while IDS hands out a £44million bonus.  He ought to be sacked.

To crown it all Ian Duncan Smith, Head of the Department of Welfare and Pensions, sent out leaflets of false statements from non-existing people that they were glad to have their benefits 
cut because it forces them to make a greater effort to find work.


David Cameron excels himself by posing with charities and giving great sounding speeches but the reality tells a different story.  While he is posing and smiling into the camera he is cutting the most vulnerable's benefit. That how sincere he is.




UPDATED: 17 December, 2014 --  Atos lost its contract because they have a backlog of 700,000 applications for assessment. It is not know whether these disabled people are still receiving some money. The government handed out a new contract to Maximus which is an American company but already had been in court for discrimination of disabled people and fraud. How can David Cameron employ a company like that?  Has he got any principles and respect?

UPDATE 19 OCTOBER 2012 --- By now the statics show around a 1,000 died. It might not all of them purely related to be forced back to work but surely a great number of them had an earlier death due to extra strain on their health and worries.

Since this scheme began of forcing disabled people back to work a statement shows that 32 disabled people died. Well done Government especially Prime Minister David Cameron while he is floundering around from one summit to another including vanishing to visit vineyards and all on taxpayers’ money. He can’t even fly first class and hires a private yet again all on taxpayers’ money and when he returns he claims every existing and non-existing expenses.

They were assessed by doctors paid by the private health service Atos French Company) which in turn is paid by the government costing just billions of pounds. The doctors were told they should certify only one in eight not to be able to work again.

Labour’s shadow energy minister Tom Greater asking the question how Atos could get it so wrong. These people died within a few weeks after being force back to work. They ought to be ashamed to make these people go through a tortuous procedure to reverse the assessment.

On revelation of these terrible loss of lives and only because the government wanted to save £10billion from the benefit bill a review by health specialist Prof Malcolm Harrington CBE suggested a change. He requested a testing which makes it fairer and humane. His suggestion was not taken up, of course not. At the end he was even requested to step down as a government adviser. It seems more and more the government getting tough and regardless.

Ministers agreed that a “fresh pair of eyes “ are needed but by the look of things happen in the recent past it will not be agreed on by the top men because it would cut down their scheme saving £10billion

Apparently the LibDem announced a fight to stop this crazy idea.

This is a terrible result showing 32 disabled people dying within a few weeks. We ask again how the Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor George Osborne, at least he was poohed by 80,000 and should have got the message, and the rest of his friends can sit there seeing these people struggling with an heroic effort and cut their Disability Benefit? They live in a life of luxury and have no idea what ordinary life is like especially for disabled people and yet they calmly wilding the axe. What kind of human beings are they?  Yet they fiddled they way in with riding on bikes pretending they are ordinary people, the limousines were following them with briefcase, and now they show their real faces and it will get worse.
They have the shortest working time and yet they tell everyone to work and work harder.

PM CAMERON CUTS DISABLED BENEFITS WATCHING PARALYMPICS



Referring back to the plan of cutting disability benefits which is already quietly in action brings it even more into focus during the Paralympics. Disabled people, even if they don’t compete in the Paralympics, deserve nothing but admirations. How they are cope in the very ordinary life to get through the day being handicapped in one way or another. Therefore, they should get best benefits which is available and it must available because money is not cut but increased for Foreign aids, sending army into another civil war which has nothing to do with the UK, bail-outs every year on top of EU contributions and wrong expenses paid to MPs and ex-Prime Ministers.  The worst and it is the highest, is the £500,000 paid for expenses to Margaret Thatcher. She doesn’t attend any meeting because she got dementia.  How dare the government be so callous with the taxpayers’ money and at the same time cut benefits to disabled people and pensioners?

THAT IS WHERE AUSTERITY SHOULD START AT CUTTING FOREIGN AID, BAIL-OUTS, EX-PM PENSIONS AND EXPENSES.

Now I am coming to my main point. The Paralympic with the Opening Ceremony was even better than the Olympics. It was heartbreaking to see these athletes with their various disabilities and yet they looked so eager and smiling all the way. Already what they achieved in the Opening Ceremony was fantastic leave alone the following competitions in various sports aiming for gold, silver or bronze.

It went to every one heart how great these athletes are to overcome such tremendous difficulties.

Yet, how can David Cameron sit there plus other government official and watch these people knowing very well what they done to them? It is beyond any understanding. David Cameron and his friends live in greatest luxuries from a start. Never have any money problems or worries but making out they know what it is like furthermore trying to convince the public. How can David Cameron be so unscrupulous and even state: “The Olympics made us proud but this will make us even prouder?” It is certainly beyond any ordinary people’s understanding and unforgivable.

PLANS TO CUT DISABILITY BENEFIT



These plans have been for a long time on the table of the Coalition and it is a disgrace to apply austerity on Disability Benefits.

If anybody deserves financial help are the disabled people. These cuts are not small and they would amount to about £80 to £120 per week. It is the last resort any government could do to save money on the worst off people
.
The Work and Pension Secretary Ian Duncan Smith plans to cut the disability allowance for 500,000 people. This includes also soldiers who fought hard in wars which were illegal and gave their limbs for the country.  This is really the lowest of the government action. They really crossed the line of respectability.

They always shout about austerity yet there is money of £40billion freely given to IMF.  £2.6billion given to a private rail company to stop them going bankrupt. Why would they? The shareholders and top management receive big dividends, salaries and bonuses instead of re-investing. Top earners were given a tax reduction from 50 per cent to 45 per cent and promised further reduction to 40 per cent in the next budget.

Yet, the worst off people like being disabled and pensioners are being treated at their worst.  These people in the present government haven’t got a clue what hardship and reckon with every penny means because they are all multi-millionaires. They are so remote from reality you’d think they live on another planet.

Even after the coalition's great loss of council seats in the last local election they still don’t see it or don’t want to. From a start austerity and improving the economy is impossible. Surely they must know this. They all went to the best of the country schools like Eton, Harrow, Oxford and Cambridge. Don’t they teach them anything there? Their actions certainly don’t show it.
