One leading disabled activist said the decision to grant the contracts to Atos was “like turning the knife when they stab us”.
Sasha Callaghan, former president of the University and College Union, went even further and said: “If this decision doesn’t end in open civil disobedience and even bloodshed I’ll be amazed. People can only be pushed so far and we could well be at the tipping point.”

e-petition - Stop Unfair Re-assessments For Disabled People
Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions
Stop the unfair and cruel re-assessments via ATOS for disabled people currently on Incapacity Benefit. ESA is a flawed benefit, and puts terrible pressure and stress on vulnerable people, putting people who cannot work on lesser benefits and applying sanctions. Let disabled people decide for themselves if they can work, they and their carers know best.

ah well they want us to die quietly not to make a fuss upset them over freebies jeff3
Suggest………. Pfft They don’t care about the disabled and sick…. All this is, is saving money and giving Atos money to harass and hound those on benefits
How representative of disabled people are the disability organisations who negotiated with DWP ?
I have no idea how people who work for ATOS can look at themselves in the mirror.I have no idea who could bear to live with one of them. the worrying thing is that the architects of these cruel benefit death policies see their reflections and smile! I can imagine someone coming up behind them,, pulling off their face to reveal a repulsive blood-sucking alien inside. Presumably many Dr Who scripts are based on the Condem monsters. They are rotten to the core of their souls.
I am at tipping point. There is only so much a sick and disabled person can tolerate. Never give up.
The Plight of the Vulnerable is More Important than Stupid Olympics Games

I wonder if the French president is aware of how much his countries name is being besmirched by the work of ATOS in this country. After all they are French and they are nothing less than disability terrorists, working under the auspices of the biggest disability terrorist of them all, the DWP.
