Saturday 04 February 2012 STOP the Welfare Reform Bill!From an email by WINVISIBLE Stop the Eton looters. Stop Welfare Reform. Dear friends Help us to defeat the Welfare Reform Bill The movement against the Bill is full of purpose and creativity. The disability/UK Uncut blockade at Oxford Circus on Saturday was fantastic: see video here! Many people spoke about their pain, fear and determination They intend to use their majority to overturn what we have won at the Lords. They think they can manipulate voters to be on their side. They are going all out to set low-waged workers against claimants. They want us to forget who the real looters are: the bankers, corporations and politicians who continue to pay themselves huge salaries and bonuses while the rest of us lose our jobs and our benefits. Unwaged or low waged, we are the same people. Many of us were employed before illness or disability struck and we had to claim benefits. Many of us in waged work depend on benefits to subsidise our low wages and high rents. Many of us are in insecure jobs: employed one day, claimants the next. What will happen to us if we lose our jobs and there is no welfare? We are all victims of the 1% who are getting richer as we get poorer. We refuse to go back to Dickensian days. We refuse to go back to begging and destitution. We refuse to suffer and die for their profits. Things we can do: Flood all MPs’ inboxes -- Tory, Lib Dem, Labour -- with emails saying why you object and why you’ll never vote for them if this Bill is passed. Even a few lines will let them know how much the Bill is hated and how worried they should be. Find their email addresses on the Global Women’s Strike website.Contact radio call-ins & the daily papers which attack welfare benefits for our families and children. Tell them about your situation or your loved ones. Complain to the BBC You & Yours on their anti-welfare of children stance, listen to it again. Complain  Comments are turned off for this item
