Friday 24 February 2012  Government Shame - Death Toll Rises Welfare Reform Scandal – Death Toll Now 19* The principle object of this list is to provide as definitive a site as possible to evidence the appalling carnage that the past, and current fatally flawed welfare reform is causing for real families and the friends of the bereaved.For politicians wishing to “blame the last government” and say it is nothing to do with them – that means MPs like you Mr * – this is NOT good enough. Prime Minister Cameron says you are “all in this together”. It matters not which political party was in the driving seat at any given point. This carnage is still ongoing and has been continuing for far too long. Mr L and your fellow politicians you really need to “GET IT” before anyone else dies. It isn’t this list that scares people half as much as politicians like you who stand idly by whilst the most vulnerable in society are relentlessly demonised by your ilk.The list to so far…..
HOW MANY MORE ?* The above alleged welfare reform deaths do not take into account the admission by Department of Work & Pensions Minister, Mr Chris Grayling of a further 31 deaths ….  | Posted by ians1 on Friday 24 February 2012 - 22:26:01 |  |

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 Comments are turned off for this item  | Posted by ians1 on Saturday 04 February 2012 - 15:46:31 |  |
