PLEASE can visitors keep an eye out when reading the local, regional, and national press; when watching the television news or documentaries; when surfing the internet; for people who have left this way, and have not been remembered on the list?

There isn't time for polite an...you are right. There isn't time for polite and reasoned argument any more. As Sue writes, the whole ESA time-limit campaign to the Lords was "calm, reasonable and intelligent". And then campaigners, the very ill, the very disabled, were simply shafted. Many people are now dying as a direct result of government policies. Does anyone have any information about any legal challenges which are being made? This wicked state of affairs simply has to stop. Major conferences of GP's have voted unanimously against the ATOS WCA. Does that count for nothing? Probably, given that the ConDems totally ignored medical opposition to the NHS bill.<br /><br />Sue - I'm well aware how extremely ill you have been on top of your daily battle with Crohn's, and how the anger and grief at Karen's death puts yet more strain on your precarious health - but one request: if you are able, would it be worth contacting Liam Byrne and Ed Milliband directly, and throwing down the gauntlet, the challenge,to come out of the woodwork and say that a line has been crossed and Labour HAS to come out strongly against ATOS and the WCA. I believe you were folowing Byrne's recent Beveridge 2 speech, which seemed to hold out some hope for us that Labour were going at last to oppose the scapegoating of sick and disabled people. Now is the time for Byrne and Milliband to show if they were sincere, or whether the speech was just hollow words.Findlownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-85043711117021654972012-06-12T17:26:03.435+01:002012-06-12T17:26:03.435+01:00This is one of the reasons why Britain is no longe...This is one of the reasons why Britain is no longer great, if it ever has been...<br /><br />The world has lost a beautiful, generous and empathetic person who paid the ultimate price in helping her fellow vulnerable people.

Alas, like you say we were cheated by the HoC and their archaic law of "private"privilege" Evil pure evil. <br />I too feel anger and rage at what is happening, I also agree with Atos Victims Group assessment in that it is Eugenics ideology, what else could it possibly be? How many more people have to die in these circumstances?<br />I have taken the decision to withdraw my appeal for CB ESA, I sent off the letter yesterday, I just couldn't face the psychological pressure it put on me. In a way I feel defeatist and angry that I am letting them off the hook without a fight, but I also feel somewhat relieved. I spent my working life 30 years caring for others as a registered nurse, I was medically retired following a severe assault whilst on duty and now they are taking away my benefit. <br /><br />Well stuff them, they will not take my life.
