I listened to Michael Meachers slamming speach against ATOS in the house of commons, anyone who hasn't already done so I IMPLORE them to lobby their MP's to support what has been started.

Lets try and kick some but.

Hi Admin. With all due respect, a huge part of our problems is politics and we understandably would want to discuss and share relevant issues. Of course, offensive posting should not be allowed, but public knowledge items are in the interest of us all. How are we ever going to defend ourselves without knowledge of what politicians are doing to us? Very often, in a sneaky and underhanded way. As they say "forewarned is forearmed"

I agree with Bumblebee. This one issue should be allowed. The more people informed the better. The more people who sign, the better. Individually are voice will not be heard. Collectively we may stand a chance! Please do not deny us this.

As you will know we do not allow political discussion or references in posts. However, we do make an exception for matters of disability reform.
