Sponsor a room. Just £715 will pay for for a charity chief executive to stay in a top hotel for two nights. Please give generously. You fucking mug.
Charity Chief Executives and so-called housing experts are gearing up for this year’s homelessness industry conference which is due to be held at a four star hotel with ticket prices as high as £715!
Next month’s Under One Roof conference is organised by charity umbrella body Homeless Link and provides a chance for homelessness experts to talk about homeless people without any actual homeless people being present. This year’s swanky bash is being held at the Hinckley Island Hotel in Leicestershire where according to Homeless Link “Delegates staying overnight are also entitled to complimentary use of the leisure club facilities, which include a heated indoor swimming pool, fully equipped gym, sauna, spa, steam room and solarium.”
Were somebody who is homeless wishing to access this event they would be forced to pay the non-member rate of £320 just for one day, and they don’t even get to stay in the hotel for that. For the entire two days, plus accommodation, then the bill rises to over £700 – around ten times the weekly Jobseeker’s Allowance payment many homeless people survive on. Homelessless charities who run hostels evict residents for running up smaller service charge arrears than that every day of the week.
When not swanning around by the pool, or enjoying the promised slap up meal, delegates to this year’s conference will attend workshops held by ‘industry experts’. Experts like Jeremy ‘send ’em back’ Swain of charity Thamesreach who will lead a discussion on whether it is ‘counter-productive’ to carry on working with destitute migrants.
Other hot topics will include, predictably, fundraising, crowdsourcing, and “how to pool resources to enable you to bid for contracts that would otherwise be out of reach”. Those four star hotel bills won’t pay themselves you know.
It will not be front line homelessness workers attending this event of course, but middle managers, ‘professionals’ and charity bosses – the kind of people who could afford to pay for their own fucking hotel. Instead well meaning charity donors, homeless hostel residents and of course tax payers, will fund this lavish and drink-soaked skive. And drink-soaked it will be, after the arduous day of workshops the organisers promise a drinks reception, followed by a conference dinner – with entertainment provided by a top magician (perhaps he can magic up some fucking housing) – and then another drinks reception. These are the same charities that run nasty campaigns telling people not to give money to homeless beggars because they will only spend it on booze or drugs. Give your spare change to a homelessness charity instead they say, so highly paid Chief Executives can spend it on fine wine, magicians and posh hotels.
Apologies for the slow down in posts. Things might remain a bit sporadic here until September when a shit storm is coming.

David Cameron’s Arrogance and Ignorance Signifies why Great Britain Need’s a Better Prime Minister than this Out of Touch Ivory Tower Politician just as Great Britain Need’s a Better Chancellor of the Exchequer a Caring Human Being Not a Dummy and a Better Government Fullstop.
Demand Increase in Welfare Spending and the Scrapping of MPS Expenses
Well, now we know why so many people are homeless, don’t we?
It does Take the Piss the Cost of a Hotel Room at this Hotel and also
that a Conference on Homelessness is Held at this Place
A Place to Reside Need’s to be a Basic Human Right Not a Privilege
of Wealth
Better a Socialist Revolution to Make Housing a Basic Human Right
and an End to the Outrage of so much Homelessness and the

As it Says in the Holy Bible Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 Verse 2

Wait ’til I show this to my mum: she gets so many begging letters and phone calls from charities. I started fielding the phone calls and telling them to take her off their lists, only to be given sob-story spiels about helping the disadvantaged. My mum’s 70 years old, deaf, diabetic and on a fixed pension. If anyone needs help, it’s her, not tossers in £715 bedrooms.

yep, it’s disgusting….
Why can’t these ‘professionals/experts’ have a conference in a homeless hostel saving ‘loads of money’ in the process?. Greedy Bastards the lot of them. Johnny V, if you only post once a month that would be good enough for me. You do a fantastic job and when I win the Health Lottery, which I will, you won’t be forgotten.
Yes and leave a big donation to the Hostel instead of spending all that cash on some plush hotel. Or they could hold a tele-conference/pod-cast. Good luck with the Health Lottery Bernadette.
Hi Donna, breaking my back 4 days a week cleaning for a pittance and no chance of coming out of poverty leads me to one conclusion; I will win the Health Lottery, either that, or I am totally delusional. But hey ho every dog has its day, except in China!!!
The collective aspirations of UK professional poverty UK pimps.
Just a quick one (anyone) when they say ‘sponsors’ as in Midland Heart Housing; does that mean Midland Heart are paying for the event? Thanks

“Top magician”… wonder who that could be? Paul Daniels?… a bit old hat… and hasn’t been on the telly for ages… probably that guy with the annoying name…. Derren Brown…. ??
Imagine having Derren Brown as an IAPT ‘therapist’ – he would have you thinking shovelling shit for jack shit was the best thing since sliced bread in no time.
What a shame it won’t be Jerry Sadowitz.
Just one you can hire Derren Brown. Events/after dinner speeches are how these guys make most of their ££s anyway. The are like radio DJs/presenters, they would pay the station for the show… and a lot of them probably do 😀
Oh yeah, a lot of radio DJs/presenters have to make x amount of public appearances as part of their ‘contract’ when they are probably like ‘freelance’ lol 😀
part of their ‘contract… with no pay. Kind of the mwa/cwp 😀
Being doing some detective work 😉 seems like Derren Brown has a lot of connections around this area so wouldn’t be too surprised is Derren Brown as indeed the ‘top magician’ in question.
DB is at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre 6th to 11th July, so it can’t be him, don’t know who it is.
“I’ve found a fantastic magician who will perform close up magic for us while we drink and dine on the evening of the 7th!”
http://www.homeless.org.uk/connect/blogs/2015/may/29/under-one-roof-homelessness-to-z
from the link:
“Residential lettings agency How to set up and run one.”
aye that’s exactly what homelessness charities should be doing, teaching people how to become parasitic leaches by setting up their own private letting agency. excellent, what will it be next…?
Didn’t Derren Brown do a show called Messiah? Does that mean there’s a chance of IDS showing up?
IBS could appear from a wicker basket as The Grandeur Delusionist.
afm – and then he will produce 5 loaves and 2 fish from the basket – enough to feed the 5,000, but not quite good enough for the guests there. Then he will stroll over to the swimming pool and walk on its water over to the other side…
It wouldn’t surprise me if the “magician” was Paul Daniels though, after all he once said he did tricks “just like Jesus did”. And he is a Tory voter, or he was the last time I read about him years ago.
Nope. http://pauldaniels.co.uk/tour-dates
If you google ‘close up magician’, there’s 100s of them.
I did it the easy way, it’s this bloke.
http://stevefaulkner.com
afm – How did you find out it’s him? Or is that a secret magic trick which you cannot disclose to the uninitiated…
By the last time I visited this thread I’d already give up on the problem, but decided to give it a last 30 seconds thinking time. The answer was just 2 clicks away!
afm – brilliant!

If you gave the hotel a quick call the receptionist would tell you straight of the bat. It is hardly going to be a state secret lol
Was thinking it might be Paul Daniels, but then thought, he must be dead my now. But what would you have it, Paul is still alive and kicking at the ripe old age of 116! seriously! Surely, he still can’t be performing at 116! Or are we all going to be expected to work on until we are 116!

He probably likes the idea of working till he drops – unlike everyone else who would like it not a lot!
Who has been messing with my Paul’s Wikipedia: “This page was last modified on 23 June 2015, at 08:45”. Now his age has been rolled back to a youthful 77!
Shouldn’t really say but my Paul’s knob doesn’t look a day over 20! 😉
lol I walked out of a local radio station in 1980 cos they would only pay me £10 an hour – frigging slave labour lol Ended up reading the traffic reports on the radio for the AA for £8 an hour lol
Yeah, and we all walked out of that gig lol moved on to reading the news on BBC radio for what must have been an enormous salary 😉

Isn’t this typical for those on the ‘inside’???
I waited 4 months for a reply from the DWP asking specific questions about my forthcoming state pension. They ignored my questions and sent me a leaflet. The DWP officer’s name was CROOK
I will looking out for the weather forecast around that time. Don’t go out folks it will be raining shit.
By the way it’s not just these ponces it’s the ‘ housing associations’ thar run ‘ mental health services ‘ for people in homeless hostels like the one support group an offshoot of one housing group tye company that likes to cut staff to save money for themselves and force the other staff onto zero hours contracts so when any resident becomes unwell or has an accident you can be real sure there will be no one there to help them and don’t worry folks they’re insured so they can deny any liability

Dear British Peasants, your hope that the recent jolly on Saturday was of any use is worthless. A place where Tax Dodging Celebrities made rich and famous by you, faked their solidarity with you and pretended to empathise with your pain from a thousand cuts. They were only their to ensure you silly, doting sheep continued to keep them rich and famous. When the push came to the shove, Russell Brand wimped out and told you to vote Labour, the party that pledged to be tougher than Tories on Welfare Reforms.
Judging from the evidence we have from Greece, you have at least another 5 years of protests to attend so you better get yourselves some decent shoes!
Hi,
This is the last video George Osborne will want to see spreading across social media. It exposes the truth about his cuts to tax credits – and shows what people power can do to stand against him. Please watch this and pass it on:

Last month, 38 Degrees members pulled together and forced Osborne to go back to the drawing board with his cuts to tax credits. In four days time, he’ll unveil his new plans. Let’s show him that he can’t get away with cutting tax credits.
Please can you watch this two-minute video, then pass it on?

The thing that gets me is they see nothing wrong with it …..I can’t believe someone in this ‘charity’ didn’t see the problem with it …. It’s a homeless charity for the rich people who work in it.it’s not like he is offering it for a homeless people to use ..There is nothing right about this. I have always said if it’s a charity then why are they paid so much how can anyone know how a homeless person feels if the charity pays a small fortune for it’s head to gets it’s head down…. Buy a fucking tent and sleep like the homeless that way you get self respect.

the cops will steal it…i spent many yrs as an hgv mechanic, ie fixing things for a living….the results were obvious for all to see, from doing what works every time…the same principles apply to fixing all things…fixing lives for a living should bring the same obvious results for all to see, do what works every time ie mind gets clogged up with gumming shit, mind is cleaned out by expressing/venting blocked/trapped emotions….i can see no evidence of what they do doing any good…where’s their for all to see workshop manual…..?

Don’t knock it, i’m looking forward to it. Mainly because i’ve been bonking a bird from another charity for the last couple of years and she’ll be at this event to, so we’ll be shagging like rabbits for a couple of nights. After dinner of course – wouldn’t miss that, here’s a sample menu:

Yum yum yum.
The best bit is that, although we’ve got two rooms booked and paid for, we’ll only be using one!
Suck it up plebs!
I am not going to question the veracity of your claims but if you had any decency, which I doubt you have, you would give the ‘spare room’ to a homeless person. Isn’t that what homeless ‘charities’ are all about – helping the homeless, thought not! I will also tell you something for nothing – I will never give one single penny to any charity whatsoever ever again, and would urge other to do the same.

Yes, you can access it OK if you proffer up your IP address. Try accessing it through a proxy though and see how far you get. Cloudfare is anti-privacy. It appears to be the case that depending on the website owners settings Cloudfare either serves up an annoying capcha (at least for now) or blocks the client from connecting outright. It also appears to serve on of those indecipherable captions if you disable javascript. Cloudfare is in essence recording a wholly seperate record of our browsing history, and you thought Google was bad! And with sinister Cloudfare you won’t even realise your are being routed through their shady servers. Cloudfare can just arbitrarily block access to content if it or whoever controls it so desires. These so-called content deliver systems (CDS) sold to website owners on the pretext that they speed up their sites and protect them from virii are becoming an increasing concern with regards to web security and privacy as we all know out internet usage is heavily tracked. Internet users are going to have to be increasingly savvy as things are reaching the stage, if they haven’t already that you can be sent down for a long time merely for criticising a Government minister. Cloudfare is the hidden and invisible bogey-man of the internet.
@Internet Security
Now making this post using Tor, when accessing NorthStar’s url PB’s system demanded a Captcha using Cyrillic text but the Captcha itself was numerical. Of course my Tor connection might have been via a Russian relay. NorthStar’s website came up as plain html text, so some of the non-text content was blocked somewhere en route. JV’s site comes over complete.

Same here, once past the capcha it’s just a plain text site. Like notepad! Peeps should have listened to Edward Snowden. Governments and their lackies and 3 letter agencies are tracking our every move. They hate privacy tools and will fuck them up in anyway they can under any pretext. Void is displaying properly, once the Void hits with this shit we will know it has been taken over by the DWP!
I suspect the government is trying to eavesdrop on your internet activities. I suggest you use ghostery, donnottrack and other browser devices to watch them trying to watch you. If a website doesn’t allow you access through the use of ghostery, etc, it’s because they know you don’t like them snooping on you.
A workaround for this Cloudfare shite is to use Tor (proxy) to access a web proxy site (one of those cant access) sites and use it to connect to the Cloudfare infested site…. that is until Cloudfare starts blocking proxy sites.

Reblogged this on glendrixglendenning1 and commented:
I really do not think that there is anything in particular to add to this one. I suppose you could argue that the expenditure involved in bringing together charity bosses and “experts” could be considered worthwhile; given the scale of the homelessness crisis – worthwhile, that is, provided a genuine and provable benefit might be quantified as a result – for the vulnerable people that this conference is supposed to be about.
Sadly, I very much doubt that any particular benefits will accrue for said “vulnerable people” as a result of this extravagant little get together. It seems almost as if we have an entirely divergent species of Homo Sapien developing here, one that regards those who end up slipping and suffering as a result of (frankly) entirely nasty and divisive economic policies as some sort of inferior sub-species.

They are being utilised to spy on each and every one of us, but i don’t give two fucks.
You cannot iron out the wrinkles when something is bubbling underneath.
GCHQ and our spy services could not operate without help from the computer community, google are leading the way by tracking your every movement and conversation via smart phones.
No wonder the crooks are going back to using the old nokias…
It is the phones that are smart, GEOFF. The users are dumbfucks. With each ‘upgrade’ of a phone/operating system the privacy/anonymity screw tightens. Compared with the modern dumbed-down equivalents the older phones/operating systems are more configurable to protect the users privacy/anonymity. Computing is being progressively dumbed down with the dual purpose of making it more appealing to the dumbfuck sheep and making it more easier to control, track and coral them. You have to laugh when someone thinks they are smart “because they can use a smartphone”. Any dumbfuck can use a smartphone…. but could they even begin to understand how they are being played for fools by governments and big business, never mind program in machine code!
Are g4s intelligence gathering in JCP offices, face recognition software linked to the JCP cctv, matching names to faces that would be a profitable security database to build.
Wouldn’t put it past the fuckers. JCP offices are swarming with cameras. They know who you are, so it would be very easy for them to position a camera to get a shot of your face, and record your details and mug shot in a database. Not to mention, that a lot of ‘dissidents’ visit jobcentres. Come to think of it, I bet they fucking do.
Facebook and Google are heavily investing in this ‘facial recognition’. And yet fuckwits are still posting their mug-shots to Facebook! Your face is going to become like a vehicles registration plate; but it won’t be ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras tracking your every move, it will be (AFR) Automatic Face Recognition cameras tracking your every move.
Never mind the Orwellian book (later film) 1984, it seems fiction has now become real life fact.
Like when you are even suspected of shop-lifting your mug-shot is passed round every fucking shop. They are like waiting on you coming: “Hello there!”.
Labour’s pathfinder programmes laid the foundation for all that kakotopia institutional linkage they have a lot to answer for, they make UKIP look banal in the theatre of control freakery.
WordPress is a heap of shite!!
Especially the stores that use workfare! It is OK for us to steal your labour but don’t even think about stealing our goods!
Yeah, a sometimes go into to Tesco for a laugh just so they follow me around 😀 Never buy anything mind you 😀
The JCP will always trot out the same old cobblers stating the CCTV is for their own protection against ‘violent’ customers and the video evidence could be handed to the old bill to get a succesful prosecution against criminal damage or a JCP staff member getting slapped down.
What about the rights of privacy for the JCP customers when they are in the building. Don’t those rights count as something more worthy than a jumped-up tinpot hitler-esque hiding behind a desk deciding whether or not their meagre JSA goes through.
I can imagine that the person operating the CCTV in mis-jobcentres is some pervert in just his undercrackers using it for his own gratification and not as he was instructed to by his bosses. There must be some ultimate real reason for the use of CCTV in those scabby buildings, but I can’t think what it really be used for.
If I was to take a camera phone and use it in my JCP I would be told to turn it off or be thrown off the premises and my claim dis-allowed. One rule for the tory supporting brid brains in scabby civil service jobs, and another for us ‘happy’ to oblige their rules.
Lack of privacy – that is the point at JCP offices public humiliation, calling out Mr instead of Miss, a small trick of the tongue but in a public place it can destroy a claimant.
Hate the jobcentre n their cameras… it’s like when you pick your nose, scratch your arse, pull your knickers out of your crack or summat … then it suddenly dawns on you that some perv is watching you on cctv
Is this now officially science faction?!
Facebook have already been experimenting with linking their ‘mug-shot’ collection to shop cameras!
It was also added to your Facebook ‘feed’: “shirleynott has visited the orange shop”. Facebook were also linking your on-line purchases to your Facebook ‘feed’: “shirleynott has purchased a balaclava on Amazon”. Privacy – you have none!
I don’t let google and all the other tax cheat twats follow my internet activities. it pays to bung loads of tracker blockers in your internet browser and basically tells them to fuck off from viewing what sites you are on and trying to do aggressive targeted advertising on you.
I’m never bothered with adverts or pop-ups as things like adblockplus and noscript deal with the problem, and it also frees up (and makes faster) my internet speeds.
Means too that if you shop on Amazon/sign-in your REAL NAME can be linked back via your tracking cookies, super cookies (yes, Amazon use supercookies) back to your activity on the Void! Amazon, Facebook*, Google… are internet stalkers… they follow you everywhere.
Ever wonder what Facebook’s creepy “Like” button is for?
And you wonder how you keep getting hit with ads for balaclavas 😀

500 people in Brighton die unnecessarily every year due to the impact of deprivation, according to a report into inequality published today.
While older residents are becoming wealthier, the report says, in some parts of the city, one in three children are now living in poverty.
Stories of domestic violence drug abuse and refugees fleeing persecution are featured in this year’s director of public health report that tackles the issue of inequality across Brighton & Hove.

In an interview some time ago Cameron was asked what comes after welfare reform he had no answer.
The socio-economic disintegration of large parts of the uk is my guess, its going to get brutal.
Twats!
I hope the homeless crash their party, and they all choke on their top notch scotches.
David Duncan’s jobseeker’s allowance was stopped last week after the 58-year-old suffered a major cardiac arrest.
He was due to attend his appointment two days later, but finding himself under the surgeon’s knife as he had blockages cleared from his arteries and two stents fitted didn’t win him any sympathy from staff.
David told the Daily Record: “I suffered a major heart attack – but apparently that isn’t a good enough reason for missing an appointment at the Jobcentre in Dunfermline.”
He spoke out about his ordeal on the day the Tories made it clear that things are only going to get worse for benefits claimants. You can read about some of the most ridiculous benefits sanctions here.

Surely life enhancing surgery is more important that having to jump through the job-seeking hoops that the DWP throw at the un-employed. The heartless bastards don’t care about life anymore just as long as each jsa sanction saves just a few pennies form being paid out to the claimant.
The twat commonly known as Idiotic bastard smith is truly evil and sadistic and needs to be capped in the head by a gunman.
Before long I can see someone being sanctioned for simply being on their death bed and not doing enough to secure work, knowing their time on earth is almost up.
The DWP would make it mandatory for your ashes to be placed in an egg timer to make sure you worked after they murdered you…………
utterly disgusting:
The Department for Work and Pensions has been accused of “humiliating” a man who cannot walk, talk or feed himself by repeatedly asking him to attend a jobcentre interview or his benefits would be stopped.
Nick Gaskin, from Quorn in Leicestershire, was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) 16 years ago. He needs round-the-clock care and can only communicate through blinking.
Last month Gaskin received a letter from the jobcentre in Loughborough telling him to attend an appointment on 22 July. It read: “You and your personal adviser will discuss the possibility of going into paid work, training for work, or looking for work in the future.”

A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: “Claimants in the support group of ESA are not required to attend mandatory meetings. We will be contacting Mr Gaskin to apologise for the misunderstanding.”

Yeah, and pigs fucking fly in the skies. The heartless twats only changed their tune the minute the guardian paper picked up the story. I doubt if the poor guy will get any compensation for being dragged through the mud by spineless evil little toads (DWP infested) not fit to be in the human race.
two thousand, two hundred and sixty eight comments were made on this despicable story.

My mum over heard something interesting on the train today. There was a guy who said that he was travelling around different councils, but not all of them as he didn’t have the time, so he was going to a few to see if the council housing stock was worth it for whoever he was working. He also mentioned about researching Pinnacle, who is involved in housing and the welfare to work industry.
I don’t know what that means but could there be a sell off, a bid between Pinnacle, whoever this guy works for and other companies, for what remaining council housing there is to a private company?
Forgot to add, it involved the housing stock of over 200 councils.
With the assualt on social housing and housing benefits even the Draconians know that hundreds of thousands of welfare reform refugees can not spend their days circuiting shopping malls, designated “homegrown neighbourhoods” maybe their answer.

“evil is now trickling down”
Parents at a Scarborough school claim their children are receiving detentions for moving their chairs too nosily and not using pencils properly.
Angry mums and dads say George Pindar School’s going “over the top” with detention, amid reports that around 10 per cent of students were held back on just one night.
They clashed with headteacher John Senior on Friday, when they complained children were being detained for coughing and even hiccuping after the school implemented a new system to tackle “low level” disruptive behaviour.
Mr Senior claims the school had to bring in the system as currently “behaviour is not good enough” at the school.
But one parent, who asked not to be named as to not identify their child, said the school’s “handing out detentions like sweets”.
“Some of the reasons are just so silly, like holding a pencil when you are not supposed to be holding a pencil or putting a chair under the table too loudly.
“Last Wednesday there were about 60 pupils kept back, the night after about 40, and some pupils are getting a detention nearly every night.
“We arrived back home on Thursday and there were three letters through our door, telling us about detentions that they’d already had.
“SANCTIONING THE KIDS”
The new measures follow the Government’s appointment of a behaviour tsar to tackle cheeky pupils.
At the Moor Lane school, if a child’s deemed to have misbehaved they are handed a warning called a C1.
Any further incidents and that’s upgraded to a C2 or C3, with more serious action – such as detention – taken.
In many of the cases parents have told The Scarborough News about, the initial act resulted in the pupil receiving a C1, which was then upgraded if the pupil challenged the decision.
At Friday’s gathering, some parents complained the new rules had stopped their child from attending prom, while others moaned teachers didn’t properly understand the new system.
you’ll love this geoff, well perhaps not… http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33230552
What a joke, my friend, obd………..
If the people of this demonic state only knew half of what you and i know, they would not sleep at night.
Gove is to justice what the atom bomb was to rice farmers. The old belief that you were presumed innocent till proven guilty, has never existed, especially with these theiving bastards.
Our justice system is non existent, an annexe of the DWP that help push the vulnerable to take their own lives whilst fostering the powdered wig image.
sounds like the UC of ‘justice’ to me geoff….
But the usual authortarian moaners will say but Rules are Rules, you must obey them even if a school required the pupils to dress up like chickens and do the Dance of Weirdo-Fuckshit Appeasement. There’s too many authoritarians out there who think just because a rule or law is in place that it must be obeyed at any cost. Sadly, these people themselves would dress up in a chicken suit, without question, if Cameron made it law…
in a really sinister turn of events..’Anti-Westminster’ Alex Salmond has spoken 104 times in Commons since the general election what’s he supposed to do sit on his hands, ffs…!!…SNP bad, get back in yer box and eat your cereal…

It seems that the SNP have left all the talking to Big Fat Alex and that Angus guy… what’s happened to Wee Mhairi’s ‘big gob’, has she lost her voice after all those ‘anti-austerity’ speeches, or is she too busy sat in the wine bars of Islington with her new found toff chums, as well as swanning around in her new Lamborghini. Has the lazy little toe-rag even made her maiden speech yet? The SNP need to pull their tartan socks up fast!

Reblogged & responded (with facts from an ex-organiser of conventions and how things work and why “posh” hotels have to be used etc) at http://www.megabitch.org.uk/?p=380
Yeah mate, me card-box floods every time there is heavy rain.
The fact is these charitable organizations need a supply of homelessness to profit.
Bricklayers solve a housing crisis not the sterility of Ruperts & Emmas illicit encounters.
“JUSTIN TOMLINSON, THE DWP’S LATEST KILLING CZAR”
The minister for disabled people, Justin Tomlinson, confidently claimed this month that the Conservatives have got “thousands more disabled people into work” but look a little closer, and the government is cutting Access to Work, the fund that helps make that possible. Work Programme figures show just 8.7% of new ESA claimants put on to the flagship back-to-work scheme in March last year had a “job outcome” a year later.
Sarah Dean is not the image of a disabled person in work the government wants you to see. The 26-year-old has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. Unable to cope with the anxiety of going through the “fit for work” tests in order to apply for employment and support allowance, the disability out-of-work benefit, Dean is surviving on zero-hours contracts. ESA would have given her either a higher rate of benefit to live on (compared with jobseeker’s allowance) or support (albeit poor) to find a job more suitable to her health needs. But as a JSA recipient, Dean is not classed as “disabled”, as ESA claimants are, and so has to take pretty much any job going

geoff
yes it’s dire for many..imv, esa for people with mhp’s should be automatic, the extra pressure of the WCA always makes them worse, often numbing the victim as it puts the victim into a deeper state of denial, so as they can ‘cope’ with the performance demand burden place upon them…
retrospect is also vip here…according to mcvie on bbc radio last yr the figure was approx 4%, she claimed that ‘it was a start’, even though it is a worse outcome formally than them doing nothing…the figure i believe was in the order of 17%, under one’s own steam…so the reality, if so, is why are the figures now worse than ever, in both cases…?
Next year’s conference ?
afm – the worrying part is that they would make it there there with no guilt whatsoever! What next – the Palais de Versailles?
Looks like the Sistine Chapel 🙂
Fantastic ceiling – could have painted that myself 🙂
These cunts just appear to be on a never-ending round of junkets:
“Giulietta Driver @giuliettadriver Jun 18
@Rickviews has abandoned me as he’s speaking at #feantsa2015 in Paris. Usually, I don’t envy his having to speak, but PARIS? #miffed”
I wonder if the magician will be donating his fee to a good charitable cause, such as a homeless charity. 🙂
people are idiots to give to charities
