Last Chance to Sign Pat's Petition

For anyone who really cares about what the Government is doing to the disabled this is the last chance to sign Pat's Petition to -
Stop and review the cuts to benefits and services which are falling disproportionately on disabled people, their carers and families. It is now 59,736 with over 500 hundred signing in the last hour, but a sad reflection on how many people believe the Governments propaganda against the sick and disabled.

Show that you care by signing now.

    40,000 signatures in the next twelve hours? Good luck with that!


  • Hasn't got a clue and doesn't know, and he runs the piggin show :

    - who the 1.500.000 claimants a month that are being assessed are
    - how many of the 1,759,620 [1.7 million] IB claimants since February 2011 have been assessed by his own department
    - can't track different claimants, cant say how many have lodged appeals against the ATOS WCA
    - can't say whether the Harrington review of the WCA has made any improvement in the ATOS assessment leading to 40% of unsuccessful appeals
    - can't say where these thousands of claimants are / in the assessment programme / in the DWP system / in ATOS system / or in the Tribunals system

    Just shows how many people are taking in by the Government propaganda on those on benefits, and also how many people would rather defend badgers than the sick and disabled.
