    A bit surprised to see this sort of language coming from MSE staff tbh.

    But it isn't language coming from MSE staff, it's a quote from some anonymous man/woman or two.

    That said, there's nothing wrong with the Language anyway. Neither expressions are classed as 'vulgar' language.
    Be Warned: Any decision made by ATOS should be treated with the contempt and suspicion in rightly deserves. If in any doubt, make sure to appeal any and all decisions by ATOS. Do not take their word for it, do not give them an inch of trust.

    When judging if ATOS were fit for work, it looks like they self-assessed. //Rant-Disclaimer End.

    This^^^ is just a bigotted attitude and probably the actual one that should be treated with contempt, also why no oen is listening; on the other hand if we gave up that attitude and instead informed ourselves, we could probably point out atos failings, which is that their focus is on assessing capabilities and not capacities of the client. If we get round challenging them the right way, we would get the desired results. Once again what is the problem with a very clever system that restores integrity for the genuine needy person? Or are you suggesting that anyone should be able to fleece a social security system depending on how their whims and fancies take them. As a tax payer I would object to that. I want people to make a case for themselves should they choose a lifetsyle of living off my contributions, just as if I were to employ someone for a job, I would expect the candidate to present themselves as the eligible one. They should be responsible at least in that respect, if they cannot be responsible, the likes of atos would spring up, to make people responsible, stealthly. And quite rightly so. Like I always say, justice for all, for the tax payer, as much as for the beneficiery.

    On a related note, I suspect your signature is a projection* of the untrustworthy and fraudulent mindset, that we have harbored and nurtured amongst us far too long.

    *Psychological projection was first conceptualized by Sigmund Freud as a defense mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world instead.
