You can stick your f*cking duty up your arse! Join DPAC & allies and tell the government that they can Stick their fucking duty up their arse! Friday 24th November 6pm Downing Street Laura Trott’s recent comments about the conservative party’s latest welfare plans have are just downright bloody ...
Laura Trott’s recent comments about the conservative party’s latest welfare plans have are just downright bloody insulting.
Telling disabled people they have a “duty as citizens” to work, after what they have put us through in the last 13 years is an insult to everyone of us who have survived since they came to power.
Trott was happy to dismiss our valid fears about the Government’s latest attack and the harm it will cause.
Where was the conservative partys sense of duty when they imposed austerity-cuts to vital public services including:
Social Care
The NHS
Local Councils
The Independent Living Fund
Disability Benefits
Disabled Students Grant
The Access to Work Fund
And many many other vital services?
And at the same time cut benefit level and introduced the Bedroom Tax, capped benefit payments and brought in the two child limit
All of which created isolation and destitution for the lucky – and cold dark graves for too many unlucky victims of Tory cruelty.
Where was their sense of duty when millions were living in fear of the dreaded brown envelope coming through the door because of the Work Capability Assessment and the dehumanising, degrading process that meant for them?
Where was their sense of duty when they left 100s of 1000s of disabled people to die during Covid, while they stepped over the corpses on their way to their parties?
There was no sense of duty, only self interest and greed.
Well, don’t tell us what our duty is – when you so flagrantly failed in yours.
We didn’t go to the country and ask for their vote, their trust and then let everyone down.
It was your duty to respect and empower us as equal citizens with a stake in our society.
Not to take every opportunity to attack, demean and other us.
You failed in that duty.
Don’t dare to tell us what ours is.
You can stick your fucking duty up your arse.
I love how they say there are "tough decisions" to be made about benefits. You're going to cut benefits and cut taxes, same as you've been doing for the last 14 yrs, and any other time you had power. Why's it so tough? You should be really fucking good at it by now!
They are always the victim in their own minds..
Don't protest if you're on benefits. The police can and will share your information with the dwp.
That's a valid point, but I think rather than a blanket "don't" it should be more of a "be aware", since while there are people who it would put off (which is absolutely fair enough), there are many others it wouldn't.
At the end of the day it's only brave people who are willing to fight for what's right despite the risk to what little they have, that get us change.
How can I help? Any protests? Actions I can take. I follow DPAC on Facebook, but I've mostly given up with FB because it's 90% suggested posts.
I'm in a similar position, don't know of any action, wouldn't be able to participate in person if there was, so mostly spreading whatever news I see.
Whats Up with the two child Limit, did i miss something?
