Over the last few years much has changed in the UK.
The depths of inhumanity this government and the DWPs have shown in resent years to those less fortunate is disgusting.
The poor souls left homeless from the Grenfell Tower fire were warned, anyone on benefits may be sanctioned if they didn't attend Job centers to sign on as normal.
These people had just lost family and friends, let alone their total possessions. Had this government not been so stingy with money for the poorest in society and installed sprinklers, fire alarms, etc, this wouldn't have happened.
The way the council leaders acted makes me wonder if they will now go to army surplus stores and buy parachutes to give to high rise tenants in case it happens again.
It was only thanks to the Media that the DWP back down and said payment would made without the need for signing on. Big bloody deal.
With this kind of attitude to the less fortunate it isn't any wonder Conservatives lost votes.
However I have no doubt they will continue to cause more misery and suffering for many before they are outed.
The famous ATOS have now changed their name to IAS. Of course this change of name as nothing to do with their vile reputation, I would have thought the name SS would have suited better.
Sadly these leopards will never change their spots and continue with their hard Victorian attitude to people who are poor and ill.
For example, David Gauke, the new secretary for DWP was too busy helping the rich to avoid paying tax. He used to be a solicitor at a city tax avoidance law firm, very nice for him.
This man had the cheek to tell the public its morally wrong for us to pay tradesman cash in hand, this would allow working and poorer people to avoid paying tax. Had this comment not been so hypocritical it would be funny. In the past this man claimed a huge amount in expenses to cover his stamp duty on the second home he purchased in London. Even though folks, his home was less than an hour away from Westminster.
If this isn't a law for the rich and not for the poor, my name is Queen Elizabeth. The constant wearing down of the poor wont last and one need not be clairvoyant to know its going to boil over. When people have nothing else to lose they turn and boy can I sense the anger out there.
Talking of the Queen and other Royals, I appreciated how they could take time out to visit the Grenfell tower survivors. What happened to the council elite? Were they busier than the Royals and couldn't spare the time to help these people?
My sixth sense tells me, these powerful people can only be psychopaths, Aliens, or drug addicts. Lets face it normal healthy humans do not take pleasure in hurting the poor.
Maybe the public could demand weekly drug tests for those governing us, now that's an idea.
