A Welfare Limerick

The Department for Working and Pensions.
Have policies too cruel to mention.
They publish their lies
In "compassionate" guise
Yet keep all of us living in tension.

  2. You can say that again sue the suspense these reforms are having on the sick and disabled are immense and IDS and co talk as if they were talking about something completely trivial

    And then have the gall to wear a poppy for a week you cant stoop lower then that

  3. There was a young pillock from Eton,
    Who really should know when he's beaten.
    If he screws up much more,
    Even Liz will be poor
    And old Pickles won't have as much meat on!

  4. I am sick and disabled but not beaten
    And glad I did not go to Eton
    What a bore it must be to climb up that tree
    And forever live life as a Cretten

  5. An ATOS assessor said 'You're
    In receipt of a miracle cure
    So pick up your bed
    And work till you're dead...
    The rest would do well do insure'

  7. There was a young fellow called Nick,
    Who made a bad pact with a pr*ck,
    Once cared for the poor
    But sadly no more
    His conscience should make him feel sick.

    who called herself the disabled minister

  9. The welfare bill must be far cheaper,
    and the cuts we make must go deeper
    the secretary of state
    is so full of hate
    he's now been renamed The Grim Reaper

  10. The Tories wants the end of welfare
    Who gets destroyed they don't care

    The press says we're swinging the lead
    To keep the money they'd prefer us all dead

    Everyday they make up more lies
    Now the sick and disabled Britain does despise

    Because they are so cruel heartless and evil,
    I hope Cameron and Co get incurably ill

    Everyday the Tories destroy the poorly
    So everyone of them deserves to die slowly.

  11. Lord Freud said his great-grandfather 'worked while having cancer' (of the jaw and mouth) with pride!
    Has no-one pointed out to him that there were no sickness benefits in Sigmund's day so it wouldn't have been a choice but a necessity. Stupid boy, needs his head testing - and his dodgy 'spin' on his own family history.

    Couldn't fit that into limerick form :-)

  13. Mr Cameron is a nasty man
    He harasses the sick as hard as he can.
    If you're disabled,
    not well in the head
    He'll expect you to work until you drop dead.

    The truth is that if they had been so sick that they couldn't get out of bed in the morning then 'back in the day' he would have died from starvation due to sincerely not being able to work.

    This is why our welfare system was created - or one of the reasons.

    Do people not think that there were those who died because they were disabled and so impoverished from not being able to work? Those that did manage jobs here while dealing with disability before the welfare system was introduced would have greatly reduced their life expectancy in my opinion. It's like those who have the gall to tell me to get a grip and get a job or those who compare my life to that of someone in Africa.

    The thing they don't realise is that I wouldn't have survived past a certain age if I lived in one of those countries where the governments don't take care of their own people - as many DO die whether that's out of AIDs, poverty, disability, disease or any other whole host of reasons.

    I dislike the comparison angle anyway - it's not an argument that can ever hold any water. Comparing 'then' to 'now' is impossible to do because we apply the same standards in which we live in now to back then - when things were very different.

  20. Better Money For Welfare to Help the Poor
    and Vulnerable in Society in the Spirit of
    Human Compassion than the Patronising
    Platitudes of the I Am All Right Jack Brigade

    Better Money For Welfare to Help the Poor
    and Vulnerable in Society than Money For
    Warfare which Causes Misery Death and
    Suffering
