    Its easy .. .. say it loud and often enough and the people will eventually believe it !

    - “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.” - Joseph Goebbels

    - “The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.” - Joseph Goebbels, Die Tagebücher. Geschichte & Vermarktung

    - “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” - Joseph Goebbels

    - “Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. I speak differently in the provinces than I do in Berlin, and when I speak in Bayreuth, I say different things than I say in the Pharus Hall. That is a matter of practice, not of theory. We do not want to be a movement of a few straw brains, but rather a movement that can conquer the broad masses. Propaganda should be popular, not intellectually pleasing. It is not the task of propaganda to discover intellectual truths.” - Joseph Goebbels

    - “Our starting point is not the individual: We do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked … Our objectives are different: We must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world.” - Joseph Goebbels

    Here's a~n~other from a year earlier - Richie-from-the-Boro 18-10-2011, 1:58 AM - Oh deary deary me - yet another Macht Frei Moment

    """ We will [ said Davy Boy - [- a great-great-great-great-great grandson of King William IV and his mistress Dorothea Jordan ] root out and take tough action against those found committing fraud and make sure the stolen money is paid back - Prime Minister David Cameron """

    So if the disabled and ALL others are :
    - responsible for less than 1% of fraud
    - and 1.4% is lost to ' statistical ' errors '
    - who are these muggers robbing the taxpayer ?
    - moats & duck houses spring to mind .. .. as do members of the House of Commons / lords
    - statistically its a proven fact that the disabled do not defraud .. .. and that all politicians have been milking the system for years .. .. and the courts agree

    and a~n~other from just a month ago- Richie-from-the-Boro 09-03-2013, 12:43 AM

    Work sets you free agreed the Daily Mirror : "The German slogan 'Arbeit Macht Frei' is somewhat tainted by its connection with Nazi concentration camps, but its essential message, 'work sets you free' still has something serious to commend it. There is dignity to be gained from any job, no matter how menial, and for young people at the start of their careers, there are valuable lessons to be learned from any form of employment, whether that is on the factory floor, on a supermarket till or in the contemporary hard labour camp of a merchant bank or law office."

    This grotesque lapse in taste was mysteriously deleted once its presence was revealed on the Twittersphere.

    NOTE : ding dong ding dong - allo allo Rene Artois - ring a bell does it ? """ We do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the nakedOur objectives are different: We must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world.""” - Joseph Goebbels

    Others are catching up .. .. eventually - here's one that caught up and blogged her views - Sonia Poulton is no April Fool, but her VID was indeed made on the 1st of April 2013.



    They'll soon make the disabled and old wear coded Single triangle or double triangle badges they made prisoners wear in the concentration camps in the Nazi-occupied countries.

    Every single hand on this attack on the poor & disabled from legislators all they way through to the greedy immoral apparatchik HCP's should not be allowed to use the “only obeying orders” Nuremberg style defence plea commonly used in many Criminal and Misconduct matters in a court of law to avoid being held to account by history at a later date.

    Surely the easiest way to prove this figure is to add up all of those that were on IB that have refused to be transferred to ESA either by refusing to attend a medical of just simply closed their claim down. Or maybe they have gone for the ESA medical but were failed and didn't see the point in appealing the decision?

    I would imagine that it would look very suspicious if this included IB claimants that had been on IB for a few years and then all of a sudden when ESA pops up they are miraclously cured?

    I think we need more meat on this figure just to see how it is calculated.
