The number of disabled people in “absolute” poverty rose by 100,000 during the Conservatives & Liberal Democrats second year in office. Department for Work and Pensions - DWP published figures two weeks ago that showed the number of disabled people in “relative” poverty – those who are poor in comparison with the general population – fell by 100,000 in 2011-12. This is stating the yawningly obvious and it does question the intelligence and moral codes of our Governments conduct when you hear announcements like this. The average common citizen was complaining about poverty to the Conservative Party Coalition Government. But democracy got deserted, and hopes of instituting an honest Government became remote as the days went by. An unscrupulous power based Government that shifted to the far right that even 1935 Berlin would have recognised the traits. What is demonstrably true is the harsh brutal care the disabled soon began to receive. The codes of ethics that should be high on the list got scrapped, screwed up and thrown in some waste paper bin in Westminster. The shocking account of brutalising the disabled in such a humiliating manner, the long term sick who suffer enough each day, ruthlessly treated at the hands of Atos Origin. Government demonisation and penalisation dominated the agenda as important monies were slashed in benefits, crushing the disabled the most poorest and most vulnerable, some to their death.
