I currently am
seriously lacking in both energy and motivation.
Oh and it seems I still
cannot type worth a damn.
I have noticed that
since I have been stuck indoors weekends I have also been forgetting
my pills too and think that there must be a link here?
I have had a series of
shocks this week both good, well one, and bad, in this case many, and
yet have failed to put together a single post for my blogs over the
weekend.
After initially
acquiring a solicitor for the very first time ever, since 1994, I
would have thought I would have been more positive and have more
energy. I have needed milk and this was obvious from yesterday,
forgetting to get it on Friday, and not been able to get out to the
local shop in two days.
What surprises me is
that normally when I discover something shocking I am normally typing
out a post almost immediately or the first chance that I get. In the
last few days I have had two that re in the forefront of my mind and
have to write a post about either of them.
These are …
The treatment of
Peter Duut and
A little known
fact that close to 10,000 died in a few years after their ESA being
affected in 2011
Pete Duut was a Dutch
man married to an English lady who worked in the UK for years as a
Carpenter, I think it was, who was then refused help by the DWP after
some 12 years of working.
You can read more about
this man and his wife here and I heard this directly from Laurel Duut
who I met via DPAC's Facebook page.
It was sickening to
read about how the DWP first tried to wriggle out of supporting them
and then deducted money that came in from the Netherlands from the
Dutch National Survivor Benefits Act.
If this does not sound
bad enough Mr Duut also became ill throughout all this which was from
an undiagnosed cancer that he died from, seven months after being
refused help from the DWP!
This was just a few
days ago and then yesterday I was watching a video someone, Victoria,
made of themselves in Richmond Park who had just attended some talk
about treatment of disabled people, with a Tory MP, who explained she
was puttinng her affiliation, of what capacity and who I cannot
recall, with a Disabled Charity and job at risk by stating the whole
thing was a farce and that the Tory MP left half way through because
he wanted to get to some protest about a runway at Heathrow. Yeah …
THAT runway!
I remarked about how
this serious event on how the disability were treated would NOT get
on the mainstream news, that Tory MP's actions seem to suggest he
KNEW this, and that the runway would and that was why he cut and run.
It also highlights in a
very major and shocking way one of the long list of things wrong with
the mainstream media. I remarked on DPAC about how the TV News lovers
to talk gossip, celeb shows, celeb news and reality TVV shows when
there are serious abuses of human rights that have not just led to
deaths, not dozens or even hundreds but thousands of deaths.
In fact that figure of
NEARLY 10,000 deaths is from a report by the DWP THEMSELVES in 2014
and I can guarantee the number of deaths has risen in frequency since
that report. The government's Damien Green says it has not but
disability groups say that it has.
Well if you killed
10,000 people that were on ESA alone and not even dive into PIPs or
pensioners then you must be hitting way above your target My Green?
Either that or you and your predecessors have been doing things VERY
incompetently?
Funny that I mention a
Dutch benefit is it not?
Funny that a country
much smaller than the UK manages to pay one of its citizens not even
residing in the Netherlands any longer?
Funny how other
European countries manage to have welfare states and I not recall
hearing frrom anyone else that theirs is being eroded and that people
are dying? Or, come to think of it, that their disabled are being
punished?
Anyone would think that
we in the UK are NOT doing as well as you like to make out to the ret
of the world? A UK government being misleading? Well, I never?!
I also informed them
how someone I know thought that the UK's problems would disappear if
a large part of the welfare state did. Well they actually put this in
a far more shocking statement that involved two sets of the most
vulnerable in society dying. Yup, dying.
In an almost knee-jerk
response to this someone posted up some figures that I for one never
stopped to consider before. The fractioning up of the welfare system
in relation to the size of the group it serves.
In fact I have a copy
and past of what was posted on DPAC's Facebook page … posted by
Samantha ..
State
Old Age Pension - 36%
Other
pensioner benefits - 6%
OK,
that accounts for 42% of welfare spending.
Child
tax credit - 10%
Child
benefit - 6%
Working
tax credit - 4%
Housing
benefit - 11%
Income
support - 4%
Council
tax benefit - 3%
Disability
Living Allowance – 8%
All
of these benefits are payable to people who are in work. So that's
another 46% accounted for.
So
what of the remaining 12% of the welfare budget?
Well,
2% goes on carers allowance (ie people who work hard caring for
relatives and thus saving the NHS a significant amount of money) and
4% goes on employment support allowance (payable to people that even
ATOS declare unfit for work)
Other
welfare payments – 3%
Job
seekers allowance – 3%
So
the "work-shy" get no more than 6% of the welfare bill
(incidentally, most of this 6% would love to have a job but are
unable to get one).
Nearly
half of the welfare state payout is to do with pensioners.
Hmm
and those that everyone likes to list as lazy only make up 3% of this
number, though I have only ust noticed there is no Universal Credit
listed which leads me to believe these figures were pre-introduction
of said benefit?
Whether
these are right or wrong it matters not and only shows that not all,
or even anywhere near half of, the welfare state goes towards
unemployed people most of which would want a job.
Would
this then not beg the question how in the world they think they are
going to pay off that humongous debt they ran up with … this?
Like
I said previously and will say it again … learn to math y'all!
You
could take every pensioner and benefit claimant out the back and
shoot them, my God in my situation I would rather take this as the
MORE humane option, and you will wont pay off the debt in ten years!
They
did what we normally get scorned for doing and taken to court for
doing … borrowed far more money than they could ever pay back if
the money ran short.
Hang
on? But … we were given these loans by banks that should not have
given them to us because we would be unable to pay them back and get
taken to court for it?
But
THEY do it and what do they do? They start at the bottom of the pile
and start taking money from us and when they find it hard we find
ourselves in court over it …
Does
that not sound like they want everyone else to pay for their
mistakes? Tell me … as the future unfolds and as mankind is
supposed to progress and evolve … are they going to KEEP doing
this?
OK
then tell me this … do away with the welfare state and shoot
everyone on benefits and when that does not work for those of you
that love throwing stones while living in glass houses … who do you
think they should turn to next to wring money out of?
One
of the last shocks was something being posted about that I myself
have talked about for many years … no not the cost of repairing
Buckingham Palace, though that DID get mentioned too. No it was the
charity fundraiser Children In Need and someone questioned the money
and the celebs involved!
I
simply could not believe this so I chimed in with y age old, on my
posts anyway of the following …
How is it
that every year the donations breaks its own previous records even
in a recession
Why do
Celebs with enough money to run a third world country for a year
give up a day of theirs for free to guilt trip everyone else into
giving money and everyone is supposed to worship them for it
Add up all
the money made over the last 15 to 20 years and it is … a lot!
There should be a series of bloody fortified castles scattered
around the UK that kids can live in and feel protected
If
your a bit confused by that second one I suggest you look at all the
shocked American celebrities who all appeared on TV in favour of
Hillary Clinton as US president and having meltdowns because half the
nation did not agree with them which therefore must mean no one loves
them?!
Yeah
I mentioned that which got a few people commenting.
I
am totally amazed that others re seeing this, though I have waited
over a decade to see this mentioned in a public place. Friends did
not see it at first but some years back they started to realise the
hypocrisy of it all.
So
it has been a series of shocks.
First
a good one that … really does not feel like a good one. Maybe I am
just so used to failing that I simply cannot believe it until it
happens?
Also
there is the uncertainty regarding the 3 to 6 month period until said
legal representation produces a result and that is if there is any
result at all. In that tie I have to continually jump through hoops
and I am not sure if there is any recourse to my health causing an
issue.
My
health problem already did, though I was surprised it managed to go 6
weeks before a screw up, when I arrived an hour late for a meeting I
was so sure I was on time for! I even sat in the local park smoking
for an hour and went for something to eat. I then had to sit for like
an hour so I did not force anyone else to wait, which was only fair.
Remember
to support those that are protesting against Heathrow's third runway,
or is it fourth? That is because being annoyed by noise and having to
move is so much more important than starving to death, stress,
anxiety attacks and suicide.
Peace,
out!
