Errrm, you are the one that has openly admitted so many times under so many guises that you don't deserve the benefits. HRM / HRC, the Motability car and how you stood to lose it but had copious savings to cover it etc. Oh how the welfare system has wronged you Andy....

Where in my posts I have ever said that I don't deserve what I have been awarded?

I don't receive HRM & HRC nor do I have a Motability car!

You have me at a loss with your posts and would presume that you are confusing me with someone else.

I'm more than happy with what I receive via benefits, I wouldn't want to change my life and go back to work. The DWP have never wronged me, they have awarded everything that I feel that I am entitled to.

Are you also one of the many that votes too late on various television shows knowing that your vote won't be counted and that you will still pay?

Much the same with these Epetitions - they close!

This petition doesn't close until midday on the 12th December, it is still open until then.

Lillie_put, if it won't let you sign it, it's likely that you've signed it already. It has been open for almost a year. Don't worry if you haven't - it's reached its target already, and your trying is appreciated.

If anyone wants to help further, they can contact their MP to ask them to make sure the debate is held in the chamber of the House of Commons rather than Westminster Hall (both options are open, the former needs more support that the latter).

Because of Mandela's funeral, they don't intend to put the IDS showdown on BBC1 anymore. Personally, I have complained to BBC. The amount of disabled people who have been waiting for this showdown is huge and Mandela would have certainly been on the side of the vulnerable!

To complain to BBC- http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complain-online/
Sample complaint - How convenient that BBC Parliament is only scheduled to make tributes to Nelson Mandela at 4.30pm Monday. I would like to ask the BBC to broadcast Ian Duncan Smith's appearance at the Parliamentary Select Committee 4.30pm on Monday, as 10,000's of people know the hearing will take place and at what time, while waiting in eager anticipation to watch it. This wretched man had evaded questioning 3 times, and now it seems he is to be held accountable for his injustices to the sick and disabled, the "fabrications" he has told and his "misuse" of statistics we will not be able to see it. One would really think the BBC were ordered to reschedule a programme for there can be no other reason for us not to see IDS answer for his actions. As i say, how convenient !!

OR

Having waited months for Iain Duncan Smith to answer questions in parliament about his blatant misuse of statistics (about reforms which have directly lead to deaths of sick and disabled people) I am in tears that this is now not being broadcast. What is more important than exposing lies that are directly leading to the deaths of the most vulnerable - caused by their own government?

The programme replacing this will be tributes to Mandela. The politicians commenting on Mandela mostly never met him and they certainly don't follow his love of the people they are supposed to serve. It will be a broadcast of rank hypocrisy. If we conjecture what Mandela himself would want? Would he rather hypocritical climbing on a bandwagon or a voice for the oppressed?

I've sent the following complaint to the Beeb -

I understand that there have already been many complaints about the extensive coverage of the death of 95 year old Nelson Mandela, at the expense of coverage of severe storms in the UK. Despite this, I see the BBC is now planning to show tributes to him from the House of Commons this afternoon. These are being shown INSTEAD of questions to Iain Duncan Smith.

As I am sure you are aware, many thousands of sick and disabled people in the UK are currently the subject of major changes to their benefits and way of life due to Mr Duncan Smith's reforms. There is a very considerable amount of interest in what he has to say.

I among many am dismayed and shocked that this vital piece of television has been swept away in order for us to hear "tributes" from British politicians (most of whom will never have met Mr Mandela) to a very elderly statesman from another continent. While I in no way underestimate the importance of Nelson Mandela's life and works, the fact is that he is part of history now. What about those of us who are still alive? The BBC has a duty to its license payers to bring them coverage that interests and affects them in their every day lives. You seem to have conveniently ignored this duty here.
