This pisses me off intensely. We're treated like burdens when we need help - "Can't work? Fuck you, you leech, we're stopping your benefits." Need medical treatment? I've had multiple medical professionals complain to me about how much my meds cost the country and try to stop giving them to me - not on medical grounds but purely on cost grounds.

But can we be allowed to die peacefully with dignity? NO! The only deaths we're allowed are starving to death like Mark Wood and Errol Graham, who starved to death after their disability benefits were stopped, DIY suicide like Jodey Whiting, who killed herself in despair after her benefits were stopped, or die of exposure after becoming homeless like Richard O'Brien and Ian Roberts. And many, many others.

The state treats me like such a burden I have to beg strangers for food. So politicians need to stop pretending they care or that they don't see us as a burden.

Two evil fascists like each other. What a shocker!

I hate the way they don't mention the fact that a huge chunk of the benefits bill is pensions. They try to make out it's all lazy people not working.

Sainsburys is closing its cafes and hot food counters to save money, meaning 3000 people will lose their jobs, while Sainsburys made a profit of £277 million last year and paid its two top bosses £7 million between them.

It's been shown that cutting disability benefits will move hardly anyone into work - it will just result in the disabled being unable to afford what they need.

Studies show that over half of disabled people in the UK already go without essentials, as they can't afford them on the pittance they're paid. Yet the government threatens to cut the disability benefit by half to save money. And make it more difficult than it already is to claim benefits. Now of course this will result in suicides and death by starvation and exposure, which the government doesn't care about. But it will also lead to increased crime - shoplifting, dealing in drugs/stolen goods/black market stuff, etc, just to survive. Such a stupid and short sighted policy.

Make no mistake - this isn't really about saving money, it's purely ideological. They don't want to pay for useless eaters to live, plain and simple.

I find this absolutely terrifying. And we all know what this means - pushing disabled people into jobs that aren't at all suitable, by stopping their disability payments. As for the claim they're going to increase mental health services to get the mentally ill back into work, well just read my previous posts about what NHS therapy is like. It's worse than useless, to the extent that my therapist refused to give me real therapy, saying there's no point in my case, and me committing suicide seems like a reasonable plan. That's NHS therapy for you! These things are never about helping the disabled, they're always about the economy. While those in charge live like kings.

"Even more stringent benefit cuts are on the cards." "Ministers are planning billions in cuts to disability benefits." "the House of Lords economic affairs committee said this might not be enough."

FFS just legalise euthanasia already. I'd rather get a quick injection than starve to death out on the streets. Even the Nazis were kinder to the disabled, gassing them to death quickly.

Considering how many people think disabled people should only be given the bare essentials of life, or not even that, this is not a surprise.

I guess even more disabled people than usual can starve to death or be driven to suicide if it saves a tiny fraction of the country's GDP. Meanwhile those in charge waste money like there's no tomorrow.

The judge said " "The DWP’s revelation that they carried out absolutely no employment or disability impact assessment has confirmed my fears," that the government's sole intention was to save money by cutting disability benefits and making them harder to access, with the only motivation being to reduce welfare spending, giving no thought at all to how this will affect the disabled.

I did ask on mutual aid on hexbear twice but got no responses.

I'm going through a disability benefit appeal. I've got absolutely no money whatsoever, my overdraft is maxxed out and I'm 5 months in rent arrears, no family to help and the food bank is so difficult and time consuming to access. You get three days worth of food but it takes over a week to access. So every week there's 4 or more days of starvation. Anyway I am absolutely starving. The problem is, I don't dare ask for money in case I get in trouble with the DWP (British benefit nazis) for having a source of income. So would anyone please be able to help me out with food some other way than money? British supermarket gift cards (eg for sainsburys/tesco/asda), a justeat voucher, an amazon voucher so I can order food from amazon pantry, I mean anything at all that isn't actual money? I am so desperate I don't know what to do. I know sainsburys take google pay for giftcards. You don't have to be in the UK to order th
