They were similar to what goes on here at MSE sometimes.
Calls for sterilisation of claimaints, murder of claimaints etc.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
[/greenhighlight][redtitle]
The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -

there you go, thats the type of people your dealing with here. I know its no consolation but your dealing with people who are uneducated and want to point the finger at the 'most vulnerable'. you said yourself that you were disabled, have you not had all of this kind of bullshugar before? Again im not saying you should have to deal with it just accept that you can not change these people and they dont understand anything about being a decent person0 -

2 esa medicals passed successfully (support group - it can be done!!)!! :j0 -

My DLA has actually enabled me to stay at work! It meant I can afford the things I need to continue working on a part time basis. Before DLA I was threatened with medical retirement! To me its a compromise although I certainly dont "earn" as much with salary, DLA and working tax credits as I would if I was full time but to me thats worth it. I get out, keep brain occupied and contribute to society. We all win that way. Should I lose my DLA I would have to return to work full time and risk my health again, get back into hospital admissions and then have time off sick.0

As it's already been said.
We (the disabled) are scroungers who whine, and use BB bays as if we own them.
All those lovely perks we get (we do!!)
as in a free car, free tax free insurance, Don't know about you but it's a life line for me.
I would love to work, if only my brain would work properly, to be able to go on lovely walks, if only i could walk far and not tire out.
go pubbin and clubbin, a vague memory to me now.
holidays, even on benefits it's not something i can afford.
I do believe there are some on here who would be delighted for us to be locked up out of sight and out of mind in a workhouse.0
