Councillor Matheson must act to uphold Promise 74.

The Commonwealth Games led by ‘Lord Rob’ (as Lord Kelvin likes to be known), has chosen ATOS as a sponsor for the Games, risking the reputation of Glasgow.

A spokeswoman for Glasgow 2014 said:-

“We are very proud to have global IT experts Atos as part of Glasgow 2014’s sponsor family. As a worldwide IT partner for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the company has demonstrated unwavering commitment to driving forward the Paralympic movement by providing dedicated practical support to athletes for the last ten years.”

We have asked Councillor Matheson to join us on Monday (the 3rd of December), the day of remembrance for ATOS victims, to lay a wreath for those Glasgow and British citizens who have died as a consequence of ATOS’ punitive tests.

ASSEMBLE GEORGE SQUARE:

‘Lord Rob’ selected ATOS in a secret deal in March of this year.  

Thousands have died as a consequence of their punitive benefits testing regime

‘Lord Rob’ is also the boss at SSE.  

He’s also the boss of the Green Investment Bank.

At the Commonwealth Games Athletes Village they are installing state of the art district heating through Lord Rob’s company, which will eliminate fuel poverty.  

Good for some.  

As for others?

63% of Glasgow’s families living in public housing (according to Glasgow City Council’s director of housing) are living in fuel poverty.

SSE raised prices 9% at the end of August.  Thanks Lord Rob!

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.
