‘Welfare has become a prop for the failure of neoliberal capitalism to deliver jobs or decent wages. In Britain, the prop has partly taken the form of subsidising poverty pay through New Labour’s tax credits, and exorbitant private rents through a massively expanded housing benefit bill’

  1. The shirkers are the politicians, who are elected to represent and act on behalf of the people. Instead they act for their corporate buddies, lining their own pockets and doing everything but the very reason they were elected (or not in the case of this rotten scum) so if you want the real definition of shirking then this is it. Totally and utterley failing to do that which is their responsibility as MPs . SHIRKERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.

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.
