The Nu-Labour Govt's war on the poor continues apace, this time they are to 'target' the disabled in an effort to claw back welfare payments. This govt is slowly bordering on fascism with its attitude to those who cannot work. In a sense they, (particularly the Chancellor Gordon Brown) see them as 'useless mouths, who cannot 'produce' for the U.K economy.
Yet again , I make this challenge to the new social movements its not just the war abroad, it is the war at home: the fight for human dignity, for a decent living standard, the right not to be spied on. The right not to be humiliated by the DSS Doctors who force you to lift your arms when it causes you great pain, who then lie and say you can move your arms with no problems. Get involved, get angry, picket the DWP, tell the media, write to your MP, take other (unspecified) action
but, going on past inaction in these matters I think I hope in vain...
