A Fairer Society?

David Cameron is constantly telling us all that his governments welfare reforms are designed to create a fairer society for all hard working people in this country.

So! What is he in fact, stating?

Is he advocating that the sick, the disabled and the 2.7 million people without a job should be treated unfairly? I think he is. His current round of welfare policies bare this out.

Firstly, he attacked the disabled with the help of ATOS, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atosa French multinational IT and Services Corporation who were commissioned to re-assess thousands of disabled people in Britain. They use a formula that had already been proven as a failure when used in America.

We know that at least 50% of assessments are overturned on appeal at tax payers cost. Most recently we have come to learn that this appeal process has been changed to discourage disabled people from appealing at all. As it is, hundreds of thousands of disabled people have refused to go through the process and been forced to claim JSA. These less able people are forced to fight for jobs that even the able bodied cannot find, mainly because they do not exist.

Only last year, David Cameron also saw to it that the company, 'Remploy' was no longer able to employ disabled people. This company is one of very few companies in this country that provided work for disabled people.

Is this fair? Of course not! Such policy and action is only leading to more pain, poverty and despair for thousands of people who already suffer from disabilities that are definitely not fair.

Then we have David Cameron's policy of 'Workfare' where unemployed people are being forced to work for free for huge corporations or lose their already meager benefits of £53 per week for a single person. A sum we all know is impossible to live on despite what Ian Duncan Smith states otherwise.

This policy was challenged in the Courts and found to be unlawful. So! What did this government do in order to not have to pay back some 200,000 unemployed people that they had left penniless?

They pushed through a law on retrospective benefits compensation, that was illegally taken from those unemployed claimants of JSA.

Is it fair? Of course not. It only leads to further pain, suffering and despair for people searching for work that 'Workfare' has made sure simply is not there.

Now we have 'The Bedroom Tax' that David Cameron claims is not a tax at all but a charge on excess space in all social housing (council houses) where tenants receive benefits. Ie:- are unemployed, disabled and poor.

We are talking about the unlucky 1 in 10 of people who are forced through poverty, due to little or no work where they live, or who have a disability through birth, accident/injury in life, that find themselves in a position where they cannot work in jobs that do not exist.

This Tax on the poor is affecting some 600,000 of the poorest families in Britain.

Is it fair? Of course not. These people also now have to find extra money to pay a proportion of Council tax on their social homes. Money that is expected to be paid out of benefits that, according to government regulation, is the minimum amount an unemployed person/family should be allowed in order to live.

These two extra burdens on social housing tenants is leading to a form of economic cleansing where people have to move away from their local areas and communities.

The government is effectively destroying local communities (AGAIN) and ruining the lives of millions of people,(AGAIN) including our elders who, if they are below pension age, would not be able to keep their homes that they had raised their families in for decades.

David Cameron and his cabinet ministers/MPs/government, are deliberately and maliciously conducting a campaign of character assassination and vilification against anyone who receives any benefits at all. I state this, but in fact, his hate filled campaign is precisely directed at the disabled, the unemployed and the poorest people in this country, whose cost to maintain only represents a very small percentage of the total 'Welfare' bill. Ie less than 3% of the total Welfare bill.

David Cameron neglects to tell people that over 40% of that Welfare bill is paid in pensions and subsidies to the elderly.

David Cameron neglects to tell people that over 20% of the Welfare bill is paid to the low paid. Hard working people, who through his policies, are now more than £600 per year worse off than when his, 'hung, drawn and divide them government', came to power in 2010. *This figure has quadrupled 

Is it fair? Of course not. People who are forced to neglect their family life to do two and more low paid jobs and also have to claim 'working tax credit' just to survive, are left in hopeless despair. 

*Note* Since written, there has been massive increase in Workfare/O Hour Contracts/Internships (working for free) Short term contracts (No Security) and hundreds more disabled and sick people thrown off the register, so reducing unemployment by 1Million.

This government is responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths of people who simply could not afford to live any longer.

This government is responsible for dismantling our countries National Health Service, by privatising it.

Doctors and nurses are prevented from speaking out about changes that affect the care of patients by gagging orders/clauses in their contracts.

Hundreds of people die needlessly and in inhumane conditions every day under this regime. We have seen it with our own eyes at 'Staffordshire Royal Infirmary'. Lessons should have been learned and transparency created by changes within the health service, as a whole. This has not materialised.

Profits should not dictate medical services and treatment. Now that budgets are in the hands of the senior Doctors, where many have been proven to have financial conflicts of interests, in medical practices up and down the country. Inevitably profits will dictate treatment.

Patients have been encouraged to take out private medical insurance and/or pay for treatments themselves. People on low incomes and the poorest cannot afford such luxuries. A two tier NHS is here and not going away unless changes are made to make equal care for all, 'An integral Ethos of Our Health Service, Now!!!

We cannot afford to wait for a general election to bring about such change. * I Can Say That Again! :)  Privatisation of our health services makes short cuts in care, pay! Good for patients? Not in any way.

*note* Now, for the first time in British history, we have our Junior Doctors out on strike because of a dangerous for patients and staff, contracts is forced on them.  Thousands are leaving Britain for fairer societies around the world! And who could blame them?

Is it fair? Of course not. It will only lead to further deaths and despair. A two tier health service where those who pay, live, and those who don't, die young, is both unethical and immoral.

David Cameron (No One Tool) is responsible for implementing austerity policies that have ruined A DECADE of social infrastructure progress.

Researching produced this highly worth reading and relevant document, outlining an ethos that the Labour Government came to power on......Budget 2003

Building a Britain of economic strength and social justice

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/bud_bud03_index.htm

Unfortunately for us all, more warmongering got in the way of this bright new future that this document reveals...BUT WE CAN FIND IT AGAIN

David Cameron and his government, have dismantled/destroyed most of the progress of the past decade. It is now about to annihilate our countries economy. *Note* Shaky economy with a bigger deficit A weak economy that his rich friends will benefit from, until 'they'decide when our lives may be improved with small shows of progress and recovery. (ie Investment, but only once the daylight robbery has been sated) *Note* No land grabbing inferred here, folks! :)

David Cameron will not be turned from this destructive course and refuses to listen to people who know how to effectively bring about change for the good of the country. We need sustained economic good sense, driven not by greed, but by a vision that encompasses 'A Fairer Society for ALL our Citizens'.

David Cameron has forced millions of young people to give up all hope of further educating themselves. Effectively closing the door on millions.

Is it fair? Of course not. Two generations of people without hope for the future is what no government should create.

David Cameron is responsible for giving all his millionaire friends and colleagues a 5% cut in their tax bills worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

*Last budget down to 15%!

Is it fair? Of course not. He has paid for it with all the aforementioned despair. He leaves the majority of people in this country without hope.

Crime will rise. Hatred will flourish. The roots of growth will never rise from barren ground. He has turned the clock back and put the people on self defeating attack. He makes us cruel. He must be sacked.

Is it fair? Of course it is. It is the only way to end this governments policy of despair.

To steal from the poor to give even more to the rich, is immoral. Ethical governing is the only way forward. Therefore, David Cameron and his government must, and will go. The sooner the better.

After all! We 'ALL' want a Fairer Society for ALL.
