good piece. it's easier to cut support once you've demonised people. divide and rule. plus who buys these cr@p papers? We need a campaign. embarrass the tabloids, shame them - christ, that'll be hard.

'Make Cripples Beg' is sponsored by the Express, Mail, Sun and Mirror

As someone with mental health issues I'd like to know why we can't sue them for their lies, their reporting is making me sick.

rant over and out lol

This just confirms what we 'Benefit Scroungers' have known for a year or more. This government is drip-feeding anti-claimant propaganda to the worst of the tabloid press on a daily basis. If the workers are sufficiently turned against those unable to work, when our benefits are cut and we are unable to survive, no-one will stand up for us because we will be seen as 'the enemy'. Anyone my age will remember the history of Germany in the 1930s and be VERY afraid. We need to get out some kind of campaign of our own to bring people up short and make them see what is happening here before it is too late.
