If you can't work, have you considered just owning peoples' houses and extorting them? On the side you can be a 'director' who gets paid ludicrously because you're also an unelected lawmaker and your directorship is literally just a legal bribery/embezzlement measure.

I don't know why disabled people just don't think of doing this???

Amazing that these people still feel entitled to roll out what is effectively the 'bootstraps' rhetoric on repeat.

that 5% to NATO has to come from somewhere people.. you can't just expect people that already have that money to give it up can you? No you should be out there working hard so they can take it from you.

I find it terrifying. If I don't win my appeal, or get a short award and have to keep going through this, i really don't see any way out but su1c1d£. I hate this idea that it's so easy to get disability benefits you can just fake it. I'm in active cancer treatment, recovering from a stroke and partially sighted amongst other things and I still got awarded zero points.

And I hate this "there is some work they can do," like yes, because there are so many employers looking for someone who is basically debilitated, but can do one or two small things. There aren't even enough jobs in the UK! There's something like 700K jobs available right now, with 1.6 million people looking for work. What jobs are all of these disabled people going to do, who wants to hire us when there are plenty of able bodied jobseekers, and if the disabled are given these jobs then there will be lots of able bodied people unemployed since there aren't enough jobs.

I also hate rich people making out it's so easy - I guarantee you if this fucker wasn't a rich landlord peer he'd be languishing on the long NHS waiting list for treatment like the rest of us. One of the reasons there are so many sick people in the UK is because the NHS is falling apart and it takes a dangerously long time to get treatment. I'm permanently disabled from my stroke because I had to wait so long for treatment.

But no, all disabled people are just obese, alcoholic fakers. FFS legalise assisted suicide now and exterminate us quickly. I'd rather that than being starved to death slowly.

This is 100% what radicalized me. My first job out of college was in Mental Health and I ended up working with several clients on SSI/SSDI or applying for it. Its absolutely inhumane how many hoops they make people jump through. How you still have to use your tiny amount of monthly money to pay for section 8. The exhaustion and depression this brought my clients pained me immensely. I take disability so much more seriously now. I understand how awful chronic pain can be, even if it doesn't present visibly to others. I genuinely hope you get what you need for your case. We will tear down these systems one day, but until then I sincerely hope things are manageable for you

Thank you. Unfortunately some professionals still don't get it, even when it's right in front of their face. I was recently having some useless mental health therapy, I just stuck it out to help my benefit appeal. The therapist was awful in so many ways. When I told her how fearful i was of becoming homeless if I lose my appeal, she just said "Don't worry if you become homeless I'll put you in touch with a homeless shelter," like it was no big deal at all. When I didn't want to continue her shitty therapy she threatened to call the benefits people and tell them I wasn't continuing with it, which could have adversely affected my appeal so I stuck the therapy out to the end even though it was making me worse, not better.

there's one key amputation that's still missing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He and all the media lying about disabled people not needing the benefits they get are responsible for all the disabled people that are dying because they don’t have enough money to eat or live, or who work themselves to death because they have no other choice. It’s so disgusting how they succeed in popularising this complete nonsense because media refuses to report on the social murder of disabled people happening every day.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

Exactly. The only way I can eat right now is by begging for food on mutual aid, because it's so difficult to get and keep disability benefits. Despite multiple letters of support from doctors.

Anyone who insists on being called Lord should have his limbs amputated.

I'd prefer a head amputation for these types tbh

He's a member of the House of Lords all he has to do is go and sit down for 5 minutes and that entitles him to claim £371 for the day. The "Global Warming Policy Foundation" was launched at the House of Lords and his operations there will amount to using a meeting room.

The offices of GWPF are 55 Tufton Street. Which is not really a set of offices but a house that is also used as the official address of hate group LGB Alliance and a whole range of others because it's run by the same merry band of evil fuckheads.

That's more than I get per month in the US lmao.

I'm joining the war of sepsis on the side of sepsis.
