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

WITHDRAWAL OF FREE TV LICENCE OVER 75 YEARS Update 12 Oct., 2020

Update 12 Oct,. 2020 - Johnson by some 'trick' won GE19 with a majority of 80. He has now announced the Withdrawal of Free tv Licence for over 75is Law. Cameron cut Welfare. May took 90,000 disabled adapted cars off the roads which must have been a heartbreak. Johnson cancelled Free TV licence. It were introduced by Labour. They even tried to stop free school meals but had to make a U-turn. So far, but Tories will try again.

Update 18 Oct., 2019 - Although May resigned and now Boris Johnson is PM the Withdrawal of Free TV Licence for over 75 and free bus pass for pensioners is still on the table. It was Labour introduced it. The Withdrawal would only be stopped if Labour wins in the coming GE.

UPDATE 30 April, 2019 --
The Withdrawal of Free TV Licence and free bus pass for over 75 has been raised again and no surprise that it will be put through this time. It is also for disabled people 

They all should be ashamed of themselves but 'shamed'
 does not exists in Tory's dictionary.

To withdraw the free TV licence for the 75 years who has a member of his of her/his in the household.

It is another devastating effect on the old and poor pensioners whose only little entertainment would be cut. It would effect 600,000. Disabled people wont be able to afford going out and cant watch TV. What kind of life will they have. Their disable adjusted car was already taken away. Their payment was cut. May and her gang is evil to the core.

Has this Government not done enough to bring Old Age Pensioners down? The next thing will the withdrawal of the free bus pass. They forget that it is this very generation who saved this country for them under the worst conditions and sacrifices. 



They keep shooting their mouth off about honouring the hard-working people. This generation worked so hard and was so loyal and now they get a kick from these glory boys.

All this is organised by the very rich who never had to think about the money to pay bills. 

Gordon Brown introduced the free TV licence in 2000 and David Cameron promised, another failed promised, to keep it in his first term in office.

At first the BBC was blamed for the disastrous decision but now it emerged that the Government decided that £750million cost would be BBC's problem.

That shifting of expenses seems to be a new trend because they done the same with the costs of supporting the worst disabled people and their carers. They moved the responsibility to the Council and cutting the budget of the Council at the same time. The result as a good guess as yours as mine.

Mr Cameron and his great Chancellor Georg Osborne are not humans. To constantly cutting the Welfare of people, especially disabled ones and Old Age Pensioners is absolutely devilish.

At the same, last week, Mr Cameron sneaked off while everybody was watching the voting results and sanctioned a bill for a big increase of bonuses for top civil servants. What can you call it when you can not call him dodgy?

REMEMBER CAMERON'S SPEECH AT PARTY CONFERENCE 2012 == Update 3 October 2014


UPDATE: 3 October, 2014 -- In spite of it all the previous promises by PM David Cameron about the NHS which is by now half privatised. To emphasized it more the PM David Cameron spoke of his disabled son Ivan who died. Why does he speak about his son Ivan he does not show he means it?  At his speech at the Conservative Conference in Birmingham he promised again to increase the budget of the NHS and will not privatise it. He and his great Chancellor George Osborne also promised further cuts in benefits.  Promises,  promises and nothing but contradictions apart from the promises of cuts.



UPDATE 15 OCTOBER 2012 --  There are at the moment 1,000 disabled people who died because of the Disability Benefits being taken away. Some might not be the cause altogether but it is still too high a number to justify David Cameron's actions.


Well, people know now what to expect even he wrapped it up all in a fine worded speech with all emotional points. Hopefully the public will not be blindfolded either by Boris Johnston given them all a cheerful time, he too has that same believes and outlook as David Cameron.

David Cameron spoke about his son and father, both being disabled.  Yes, it must have been distressing and nobody will deny that but having experienced it so closely why does he cuts cold bloodedly the disabled people's benefit. It does not add up. Especially they have it much harder then David Cameron's father, being a multi-millionaire; they have to battle with the money and every penny counts.

He spoke of the Paralympics how wonderful and inspiring these athletes were but coming from David Cameron it is hypocritical. No doubt the athletes were but how can anyone sit there watching their determination to overcome the disability and cut their Disability Benefits at the same time. He is hitting and hurting the poorest of the poor. Yet again, he emphasised it in his speech that there will be austerity and further cuts have to be made. Therefore, these words about his son and father ring hollow and he never applies austerity and cuts to himself and the rest of them.

He was willing to spend £206million (updated £1billion) on a contract with a French firm ATOS not even an English company to create jobs. To send disabled people back to work. 32 (updated over 1,000) people died because of it and with 3million unemployment where have disabled people got a chance to get employed. 

==================================================

PLEASE BE SO KIND AND CLICK ON ADVERTS.  THANK YOU.
==================================================

He spent £330.000 on a contract with a company organising wake-up calls for youngster to get them out of bed and back to work. Again where are the jobs? The majority would not be at home lying in the bed if there were any jobs available. 


He spent hundreds of million of pounds on a management consultancy to sack nurses and doctors at the NHS. Yet, if necessary at all it should have been the directors’ job of the NHS; there again if he spend that money on the NHS there would be no need to sack nurses and doctors.

There is a whole string of mismanagement were all of a sudden the money was there to be spend all the wrong way and that is were austerity should start.

Apparently David Cameron will still carry on with his original plan. The truth is that the ordinary people are already so cut down, there is no money to be cut. Already the food parcels are on a big increase which is a disgrace for a country and its people like Britain. . Unemployment is growing at an alarming rate.  After years in office the country has a 0.4 per cent deficit instead of yet another promise growth of 0.2 per cent but David Cameron talks of healing process. Where does this man gets it from? He still blames the Labour and yet the Gordon Brown handed the country over with a 1 per cent credit which vanished within two months.

He was talking about sink or swim. Well it is the ordinary people who sink and David Cameron and the Conservatives do the swimming. The party faithful gave him a standing ovation because they swim with him. This party keeps splitting the public into two sections and with a great gulf between it. Therefore, his famous phrase ‘we are all in this together’ he would not know what hit him if he had to cope with what he hands out to people.

The promise of a referendum after the next election is nothing but a promise again to catch votes. If he would mean it he would have done it all this time or at least now. He already promised it in the last election manifesto and when it came to it dropped it.

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.
