    we have encountered various people who claim ESA

    Who are "we"? I will leave you to it as you will not be here long.

    "We" is not a representation of a business or other commercial entity, therefore I cannot be assumed to be a business when I haven't claimed to be.

    For the avoidance of doubt to all reading, I am a single entity, posting as a single user on the forum.
    The comments you made do not make sense. How did you come to know about the people who urinated on themselves. Still very strange that you described yourself as a "we".

    Have you ever considered something called employment? If you are living on the bear minimum, perhaps it would be wise to pause reliance on the state and step into the world of the working class.

    As for the washing machine, ask for credit. Once you've found employment, even if it is cleaning out the bins, the re-payments will be manageable.

    I am sure those who prey on the vulnerable like Vanquis or Satsuma Loans will be more than graceful to accept your credit application.

    So you come on this forum with a signature that suggests you're a troll. Why would someone who's interested in such law be wasting their time on here, If you want freedom of speech go stand in London and shout from the roofs or something, You may get other loonies doing it with you. No one here cares for you're kind of speech.

    I fear you are abit misunderstood as well. Not going to politically bash anyone, But generally it's usually liberals and socialists who spout this "human rights article" nonsense about. Are you one, If so, Stop contradicting yourself!

    God help you when you ever get into a situation and can't get out.

    There are often free, or very cheap, washing machines available on freecycle, local facebook pages etc, worth a look

    Firstly apologies to the OP.

    Has anyone spotted Controversial-Liberty's post on this thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/74021467#Comment_74021467. He writes:
    "it is unlikely that anything of value is owned or important legal concerns need sorting after deceased, especially being on those various different welfare benefits."

    Given the OP on that thread has terminal cancer (so in receipt of PIP), this callous comment is one of the most offensive posts I've come across.

    I reported it, and would urge other forumites to do the same.

    Thanks.

    Please do not question Freedom of Speech when executed in tolerant form. If the OP has a medical condition or other reason not to work, they can simply disregard the comments made.

    This applies to anyone else who feels offended or upset by democratic opinion.
    No-one is questioning freedom of speech (why did you capitalise it?), they are just using theirs to suggest that you are being a bit of a Berk (capitalised to remind you of the origin of the rhyming slang...)

    Telling you this is not questioning freedom of speech, do you understand that?

    Privately owned businesses are still governed under the law. I am sure MSE Forum are transparent enough to moderate in compliance with Article 10, whether optional or not.
    Oh, for goodness sake, you were not using hyperbole, you really believe that the site is obliged to let you post what you want!

    That is imbecilic.
