#fuck tories

[valkyriemalison]

Demonising people who just want to live. Shameful.

The fraud rate for PIP is less than 1%. Even if it wasn’t, it’s so hard to acquire it is definitely shutting out struggling people who need it. Across the country, there are 1 million disabled people and their carers now facing the horrible void of the unknown. How will I pay my bills? How will I pay my rent? How will I heat? Eat?

That’s not even counting the extra costs that come with being disabled. This is insanity.

Put frankly, the UK political establishment is attacking the disabled of not just today, but tomorrow. With each cut, each reworking, each emphasis on the myth of overdiagnosis, they tell the children of tomorrow that they aren’t worthy of life.

No dignity. No compassion. Just crude, unadulterated malignity. Disabled and otherwise, it’s time to organise.

If the upcoming UK general election on the 4th July finally releases us from 14 gruelling years of Tory rule I will for the rest of my life, as a Brit, call it and celebrate it as Independence Day.

I’m not even joking.

so who had the government violating human rights law because they hate poor people on their 2023 tory bingo?

yeah so this piece by robert booth just got published in the guardian and it begins as such:

which is not at all surprising because yeah the government really hates poor people here. like as in one of the "solutions" to rising in homelessness in cities is to just,, buy unhoused people a one way train ticket to somewhere else.

its good to know that weve officially reached the level of violating international law. and by good, i dont know what i mean either.

anyway, booth goes on to say:

he is, of course, incredibly correct, and im highkey obsessed with him calling the welfare state "a leaking bucket".

obviously, the government gave a response of:

but did also go on to say this:

which doesnt really strengthen their argument. if anything, it actively hampers it.

it is also incredibly funny that the government's response to being accused of human rights violations due to the poverty in their country by the guy whose job involves being the go-to expert on human rights and poverty is akin to a child saying they didnt steal the chocolate that is staining their clothes and their hands and also they are still eating it.

please join me in pointing and laughing. at least, we have that.

de schutter actually offers solutions of his own within the article:

these, of course, famously being loved by tories. loved so much that they just forgot to do any of it during the last 13 years.

yeah, its been 13 fucking years.

if you dont use your vote to vote them out at the next general election, i will break your kneecaps with a rounders bat.

anyway, robert booth finishes the article off with:

and wheres the fucking lie? it hits the nail on the head so accurately, its honestly as impressing as it is depressing.

obviously, this isnt the entire article and i would implore you to read all of it.

i dont exactly have my hopes up for the government actually doing anything to effectively address poverty, but hey, you never know.

If you live in the UK right now I seriously urge you to fill out this consultation.

The government and the rail operating companies intend to close nearly 1000 train station ticket offices because they deem them "a waste of money". This is not true. Ticket offices are important, not only to people that are unable to buy their tickets online but most importantly to disabled people. Ticket staff and station attendants are the ones responsible for providing accessible literature and information about travel and helping people board and leave trains safely and securely. Furthermore, they deal with station security, should an accident happen at the station, the ticket staff are first to attend. The government and the train operating companies want to shut these vital services down which will not only make thousands of people redundant but also make the railways a much less safe place to travel.

If you're not from the uk please boost this.

for my followers living in the UK

this is outside the topics of what I normally post, but i was pissed off so I'm posting it

I'm guessing a lot of people's parents/family members watch GB news right? me personally i get really pissed off when my dad puts it on because I just cant stand them - its just daily mail readers allowed to go on tv

my teacher even told me that to get away with fines from ofcom they class themselves as an "entertainment" channel despite them having news in the name - so they can call themselves a news channel, say incredibly biased things and when ofcom tries to fine them for it they can say "its just entertainment!! its just peoples opinions!!" well karen a hallmark of good journalism is not being biased and not letting opinions influence the news you report

i found this amazing website with reasons to boycott gb news, a list of advertisers that give them money, and the people who fund, own, and star on the channel. please share it!
