I've just been sent a link to an article written by Sonia Poulton in the Daily Mail back in February ,

It shows just how much of a U-turn this government have made in their attitude to disabled people . Read down to the quotes from the then shadow minister , spoken in 1999....

Very interesting.

Did Cameron's soul die when his poor son died? Does he somehow blame the disabled for his grief? Is the man fit to be PM?

(Answers Yes, don't know, No from me)

Fully agree xx

I'm not sure Julie. He certainly seems to " hate " disabled people now, and from reading that he didn't back then. Something has changed his mindset that's for sure.

Reading that and then comparing to the dictator he seems to have become.... I'm not sure what to think.

Power takes away morality - it has been shown time and time again. We are made false promises in order for these people to be given power and then once they are in that position they abuse it and use it to further their own agendas :(

You know, I'm in no way a Tory , but I can't help having a grudging admiration for Margaret Thatcher . At least she was open and honest about the brutality of some of her policies.

Cameron does it all via the back door and under the pretence of it being for our own good. Sly and sneaky and utterly contemptible,

Maybe a nice cut out of camerons pocket into voluntarily helping disabled might help !!

Maybe take a cut on the lazy a*ses who cannot be bothered to wrk have so many kids and claim benefits!!

I am a mum of 4 too.

I know times can be hard. But .... I always managed to find something out there.

Now as for Disability its darrrn rite disgusting and wrong as they should not come into the equation of cuts on benefits but a lot more help.

I do not claim anything but could only be a matter of time until i do because with this illness i can quite honestly say you can work but only until it absolutely takes everything you got left as excercise, strenuous work, being phtsical in many ways provokes it and makes you worse!!! You have to have something of your abilities to live rest of your life comfortably without forcing yourself into hospital beds to prove you are Disabled.

Cameron come join our Bl**dy world (the real one)!!!!!! Xxxxxx
