The Coalition governments benefits agency ATOS, have today declared Jesus fit for work.

[STEED]

ATOS has declared all un-conceived children fit for work
ATOS has declared everyone on death's bed fit for work

ATOS has declared all those in work have no rights what so ever, all holiday's cancelled, all sick leave cancelled, going to the toilet cancelled, going home cancelled. In fact even been rushed to hospital because your bladder has burst due to the fact you have been banned from toilet brakes is no excuse to stop work and you are fit to work, even dropping dead at work is not a excuse as your fit to work.

ATOS WE MAKE THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY LOOK LIKE A WET NAPPY

These figures are really most concerning:

900,000 choose to come off sickness benefit ahead of tests.

Anyone care to speculate as to why?

Why are people dropping their claims? Because the department has started a default practise of denying MOST claims and letting the appeals tribunals do the real decision making.
Imagine if you had problems with something that isn't as widely considered as a disability, like problems with continence. You'd probably be considered perfectly fit unless you had several episodes within the same Work Capability Assessment.

I can't help but think a fair number of them are swinging the lead...even when considering the DDA in this country.

Most conditions are covered and almost everything that has the likelihood of lasting for twelve months or more.

Welfare system reforms are fair, says Iain Duncan Smith

How can this waste of space multi millionaire say this is fair. I must admit that they are a few that are taking the piss and are work shy.
But this "bedroom tax" its the nasty evil Tories that are taking the piss. what are they going tax us on next? how may times we go to the toilet? how much we can breath?

We can call it a bedroom tax if you like so the people who only read headlines can be outraged as well, but its a fact that there is a housing problem and there are a lot of people in social housing in houses bigger than they need, the problem is it hits the genuine people in need but councils have been given extra money to help them, its upto the councils to get the support to those who need it.

Is it because since the 1980s succesive governments have encouraged people to claim incapacity benefit instead of unemployment benefit so they can report a lower headline unemployment figure?

Yes that evil bitch Thatcher started that in 1983 I think.

[STEED]

Interesting to note the main stream media leaves out a fact that most of the Housing Benefit claimant's are people who are in work and not the unemployed. This disgraceful coalition is ripping this country apart with there miss leading facts, buried facts and down right lies. Nothing like getting people in fighting with one another so they can get away with there schemes.

We are becoming a 3rd world country now, food banks, food stamps, what next?

[Jimbuna]

What next?



Of course...
