If new Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb had any decency at all he would resign from his position as patron of the local branch of Mencap.
Ever since Crabb voted to slash benefits for many disabled people to little over £70 a week the Haverfordwest based charity, who run a once popular community garden, have faced outrage from the public over their relationship with Crabb – and with good reason. It is beyond belief that a member of a government that has so ruthlessly attacked disabled people has he gall to hide his sins beneath a charitable facade. And it is beneath contempt that he would rather see this charity destroyed then do the hornourable thing and step away.
This is sadly unsurprising however. Crabb happily referred to his own mother as welfare dependent when he gave an interview about saving her from a violent attack by his father when he was just eight years old. He has no shame in dragging his family’s traumatic past out under the public spotlight when he thinks it might win him some sympathy with voters. Even a recent re-union with his father – which conveniently took place just days after his appointment to Scretary of State – appeared to be little more than stunt to further his political aspirations. After what must have been a difficult and emotional meeting for both of them, Crabb’s first thought on leaving was to ring the Daily fucking Mail and tell them all about it.
A broad coalition has now emerged in Crabb’s home town demanding that he step down in his role as Mencap patron. He should step down as Secretary of State as well. His nasty affiliation with a ‘gay cure’ Christian cult seems to be the only sincere thing about him. We got rid of the last bastard now let’s get rid of this one. Join the fine folk of Pembrokeshire for a demonstration against Crabb this Saturday April 2nd from 11am-1pm outside his constituency office, Upper Market St, Haverfordwest, SA61 1QA.
Please share the facebook page for the event and help keep up the pressure on Pembrokeshire Mencap to get behind the people they claim to support and sack Crabb immediately. And keep up the pressure on all the other charities hiding dirty little Tory secrets as part of Operation #ToryDump

Staggering hypocrisy from Crabbe Apple, just as bad as IDS claiming to be a champion of the disabled/poor. They are lying scum, the lot of them. Talking of hypocrites, why don’t Labour say something about them? And off Topic completely, why do I have to waste my fucking time doing jobsearch and meticulously recording it in the Activity section of UJM, as required, when the JCP Adviser/Work Coach/Dole Clerk can’t even be bothered to fucking look at it? “oh I’m not going to read it”, she said. Well FUCK OFF then and don’t expect me to fucking do it you idle cunt.
Cock roaches do this on purpose – it is one of their favourite tricks. It is so that you will be caught with your job-seeking pants downs when you ‘randomly’ get pulled up by the ‘hit squad’ and you have nothing to show – instant NOT Actively Seeking Employment sanction. Your cock roach is trying to suss out whether or not you are keeping a record. Make sure they know you are keeping a record (evidence).
the DWP/JCP are enough to drive people into suffering mental illness. Maybe that explains Crabb Apple’s connection with Mencap. They’re certainly driving me fucking mad.

…………3 FOOT TEN INCH MAN WITH DWARFISM HAS TO FIGHT TO GET HIS BENEFITS AND MOBILITY VEHICLE RETURNED.
http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/George-Coppen/story-29018499-detail/story.html?98909879879870987989887
“George had been learning to drive in a specially-adapted car given to him by though the motability part of DLA. A week before he was due to take his test he received the bombshell from the Department for Work and Pensions…. I’m 19, I’ve got arthritis, I’ve got a metal rod in my back and it really restricts my day-to-day life.” How the hell can he twist about doing his manoeuvres? – it is bad enough if you don’t have a rod in your spine! Then he has to reach the pedals and look over the windscreen? Ridiculous!
Besides, no insurance wants to insure 19-years-old anyway. His premiums would be at least £2,500 a year for a Micra or similar!
His insurance is covered in exactly the same way as all the rest of us with a Motability car, it is in the package we pay for with the car. We get the car, insurance, AA or RAC cover at an enhanced level due to being disabled, the MOT costs and any repairs covered as well as a yearly service.
We do however have to pay for any adaptations needed to the vehicle and pay for them to be removed at the end of our period of Motability rental. There is a fund that you apply to that can pay some of the costs of adaptions but the money is limited, hard to get and rarely covers the full costs of an adaption.
I have my Motability car for three years and hopefully have it for the rest of my life since I’ve become significantly sicker since I was given Enhanced Rate of both Care and Mobility on my transfer from DLA to PIP. But the fact is that if my Motability car is taken from me I will go back to being bedbound.
As it is I had to buy a basic wheelchair as I couldn’t get one via the NHS and simply can’t afford a mobility scooter. If I ever want one we will have to move as all we could get for a flat when we were made homeless a year ago is yet another 1st floor flat. We can’t bring the scooter in the house, nor carry the battery up and down stairs to charge it. People think all of these things are provided and that just isn’t so.
“You’ll find a good portion of disabled people living in poverty, way under the breadline, because the costs of being a disabled person are excruciatingly high. Suppose, if you want to learn to drive and such!
If you physically can learn to drive and can do so safely why on earth shouldn’t you? Those of us with significant,mobility issues simply can’t rely on public transport and obviously can’t walk around like everyone else!
And Good Luck with the Driving Test!
What’s ridiculous is your lack of ability to understand what adaptions are available for Motability cars. All pedal controls can be turned into hand controls so his height and leg length is of no concern, there are a variety of adaptions that can be built in to the car so he can quickly and safely perform all the same manoeuvres that everyone else who drives have to. Of course cars can be adapted to have the car seat high enough for this chap to safely see over the dashboard and be in the correct driving position.
What on earth is so difficult to understand about any of that? You’re either trolling to try get a rise out of people or you’re so stupid you shouldn’t be allowed a driving licence to be out on the roads yourself! Oh and he passed his driving test with flying colours thanks. What is your problem?!
The ignorance of the posters on here beggars belief.

To receive benefits such as Jobseeker’s Allowance or Universal Credit, some claimants must agree to undertake work-related activities which aim to help them move into work. Not completing these activities can lead to a sanction, where a claimant’s benefit payments are suspended for a period of time.
This study will examine whether the Department for Work and Pensions is achieving value for money from its administration of benefit sanctions. This includes how benefit sanctions fit with the intended aims and outcomes of DWP’s wider working age employment policy, whether sanctions are being implemented in line with policy and whether use of sanctions is leading to the intended outcomes for claimants.

Disability employment gap inquiry.
Scope of the inquiry
The Committee invites written submissions addressing the following points:
To what extent are the current range of proposed measures likely to achieve the Government’s ambition of closing the disability employment gap?
How effective is the Disability Confident campaign in reducing barriers to employment and educating employers?
What should support for people with health conditions and disabilities in the proposed Work and Health programme look like?
What are the likely impacts on disability employment of the abolition of the Employment and Support Allowance Work Related Activity component?
http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/work-and-pensions-committee/inquiries/parliament-2015/disability-employment-gap-15-16/
……………in answer to question one/
The ambition of closing the disability employment gap will be futile given that mental and physical conditions that limit the scope of a disabled persons ability are the key factor. Massaging statistics to prove otherwise will never be cost effective without the loss of more innocent lives.
………………….in answer to question two/
The Disability Confident campaign will never reduce barriers to employment because an able bodied citizen will always be chosen ahead of one with a disability. Common sense.
…………………in answer to question three/
Support is not a mental or physical torture. Denying someone with a disability the sustenance to exist will never be seen as supportive. The governments attitude is that it has to be cruel to be kind to motivate is morally and ethically disgusting.
…………………in answer to question four/
Proposed abolition of the ESA Wrag component will exacerbate the level of suicides which we are witnessing as an everyday event.
The action is but a futile attempt to try and erase disability benefits from the overloaded exchequer by using the divide and rule concept.
Where will it end?
Will the Support group be tailored into different groups to further erase the word disability.
Disability is not a choice, but rather a burden on those who carry it. It now seems we are a burden on society in general and must be eradicated at all cost………….
Cost being the defining word…….

Actually you do realise the article by Southwark CAB is misleading. I worked for them though I don’t any more thankfully and UC only affects a small portion of people who are not in receipt of disability benefits, are not homeowners, or leaseholders or with kids. It only affects those who are single only with no other circumstances. It’s not good. There is a 6 to 8 week payment delay and HB is only backdated in exceptional circumstances to 1 month instead of 6 months. It will be a long time before UC gets rolled out but I agree with you I don’t like the new Secretary of state either but well let’s see how long he lasts.
Charity workers fear benefit claimants will struggle as Universal Credit is rolled out in SE1
Southwark News – 31st March 2016
It is revealed that new applicants will have to wait six weeks for first payment, and will need a bank account, which Citizens’ Advice believes could cause trouble for hundreds
Hundreds of Southwark benefits claimants are expected to struggle with the new Universal Credit (UC) system that was rolled out for SE1 residents last week.
Since March 23, all benefits claimants in SE1 on any of the following benefits will have to enrol on the government’s new system and set up a digital account:
•Job Seeker’s Allowance
•Housing Benefit
•Working Tax Credit
•Child Tax Credit
•Income Support
•Employment and Support Allowance
Claimants will instead be given one monthly payment calculated by grouping the benefit payments they received under the old system.
The national charity Citizens’ Advice (CA) says it expect 697 Southwark residents will need help or face falling into financial trouble with the new system. They also predict Southwark will have almost three times the number of people in Lambeth and five times the number in Lewisham who need advice.
“New claimants and anyone switching to the new system will have to wait six weeks for their first monthly payment,” said Chris Green, CEO for Southwark Citizens’ Advice.
“It could leave some people in debt when they are struggling to pay bills as it is. It’s going to be very difficult, unless any of these people have savings. The consequences of getting it wrong can be very serious and we’re very concerned people will lost out.”
He added that there are fears some people “won’t understand” the new system and might not be able to handle the added responsibilities that go with the changes.
“Historically things like housing benefit have been paid fortnightly, and paid on claimants’ behalf directly to the council,” Chris said.
“So there is a fear that people won’t understand that they need to pay their rent each month before less important expenses. We worry people will have trouble prioritising and learning to deal with the new system.”

The family of Jean Charles de Menezes has lost a human rights challenge over the decision not to charge any UK police officer for his fatal shooting.
The Brazilian was killed at London’s Stockwell Tube in 2005 by police who mistook him for a terror suspect.
The decision that there was not enough evidence to prosecute anyone did not breach human rights laws, judges said.
His family, who had argued that the bar for prosecution should be lower, said they were “deeply disappointed”.
Mr de Menezes, an electrician who was 27, was followed and shot in the head by police marksmen who mistook him for a suicide bomber.

During the Mau Mau uprising of the 1950s, British colonial forces rounded up more than a million of Kikuyu people — most of them innocent victims of collective punishment — and imprisoned them in concentration camps in order to flush out the Mau Mau insurgency. In order to extract information about the insurgency and terrorize the enemy, the British used brutal methods to force Kenyans to confess and repudiate the Mau Mau oath. Under slogans like “labor and freedom” and other variations on “Arbeit macht frei,” inmates were worked to death as slave labor filling in mass graves under cruel conditions. Some men were anally raped with knives. Some women had their breasts mutilated and cut off. Eyes were gouged out and ears cut off and skin lacerated with coiled barbed wire. Interrogation involved stuffing a detainee’s mouth with mud and stamping on his throat until he passed out or died. Survivors were sometimes burned alive, while British guards and interrogators took joy and laughed.

The wealthiest 20% of Britain’s earners will receive almost as much support from the state through the “shadow welfare” of generous tax-breaks by 2020, as the poorest fifth take home in benefits, according to a new analysis by the Fabian Society.
Iain Duncan Smith used his resignation letter from the cabinet to criticise the March budget as “unfair,” for juxtaposing reductions in benefits for the disabled with tax cuts for some of the wealthiest in society.
But Andrew Harrop, the Fabians’ general secretary, said his research shows the budget was just the latest step in a radical reshaping of the welfare state, which has shifted resources from the poorest in society to the better-off.

The wealthiest 20% of Britain’s earners will receive almost as much support from the state through the “shadow welfare” of generous tax-breaks by 2020, as the poorest fifth take home in benefits, according to a new analysis by the Fabian Society.
Iain Duncan Smith used his resignation letter from the cabinet to criticise the March budget as “unfair,” for juxtaposing reductions in benefits for the disabled with tax cuts for some of the wealthiest in society.
But Andrew Harrop, the Fabians’ general secretary, said his research shows the budget was just the latest step in a radical reshaping of the welfare state, which has shifted resources from the poorest in society to the better-off.

Johnny refers dismissively to that organisation CARE as “people who worship an invisible man who lives in the sky.”
While Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group is a secular organisation bringing together people of various religious faiths and none, I prefer to consider the ‘Liberation Theology’ of Revd Paul Nicolson of Taxpayers Against Poverty. http://www.taxpayersagainstpoverty.org.uk/the-need-for-active-participation-in-divine-gratuitous-love-never-greater-than-in-the-current-millennium/

Wanna buy some shit?
No thanks, we’re all knee deep in it as it is.
Besides when they said ‘Do you wanna buy a steel plant – makes £1m a week – lots”.
You misheard the last word.
Oh shit, no I don’t want to buy any more, I meant to say
“£1m a day – lots”.
Reblogged this on perfectlyfadeddelusions.
Just received this reply from Mencap
“Thanks for contacting us with your concerns.
Like you we were hugely disappointed that the Government chose to push through the cut to Employment and Support Allowance, despite opposition from MPs across the different parties, Peers, the general public (we conducted polling on the subject) and also numerous supportive articles in the press.
We campaigned hard on the issue both as Royal Mencap Society and as proactive members of the Disability Benefits Consortium.
We’re proud that we were able to support thousands of people with a learning disability and their families to engage in the campaign, both online and through supporting people to meet their constituency MPs often through their local Mencap. We also held a lobby of Parliament, attended by hundreds of disabled people and over 100 MPs from across all the parties.
While ultimately the ESA cut is set to go ahead as part of the Welfare Reform and Work Act we believe that, by supporting thousands of disabled people to make their voices heard, we have helped give the issue a high profile and added weight to the opposition over the cut to Personal Independence Payments – which, as you point out, the Government has now u-turned on.
We are now at a very crucial point in times, as the government has said it will review the whole Welfare system. We will continue to campaign to make sure MPs and Ministers, including the new Secretary of State Stephen Crabb, are fully aware of the impact any changes would have on people with a learning disability and their families.
As a first step we launched an e-action where supporters could get in touch with the new Secretary of State, calling on him to listen to and engage with people with a learning disability and their families. We believe this direct dialogue is crucial to bring about change. We will continue to engage with him and other Ministers to try to ensure the issues are forefront in their minds.
You highlight that Mr Crabb is Patron of Pemrbokeshire Mencap. This is an independent local Mencap group with its own management committee who make decisions about who they wish to have as a patron. We have of course been in contact with them about the concerns you and other people have expressed in relation to Mr Crabb being a patron of the group.
We understand that Trustees and Mr Crabb have recently met to discuss the situation. Both the Director of Mencap Cymru and ourselves are talking to the protest group that have established the petition and have held demonstrations. We want to ensure that, whilst they make their views known, they do not cause distress to the people with a learning disability working within Stackpole Walled Gardens.
I hope the above is helpful and would like to thank you again for writing to us.
Many thanks
