I read the article. Describing sickness as a ‘lifestyle’ culture seems a bit harsh and incorrect.
Unemployment is at all time lows in Europe. If they want more people to participate they need to create adjusted jobs that are feasible for the person in question.
It’s kinda politics though.

I admit I was worried
If anything the PIP benefit is preventing people getting it already
No idea how they can make their process even more punitive when it’s already a soulless and callous task to get what you’re entitled to!

There is an election soon
Maybe he’s trying to look tough against people like us?
Trying to make out we’re sick notes and lazy

Makes me so angry!

Absolute joke
This issue was already a kick in the teeth
And this is just completely unacceptable

I cannot work it out in my head
Before we had asylums that cost a fortune to the taxpayer
Then care in the community
That second part needs the assistance to sustain
People will suffer if they all but remove the protections
Without getting in to specifics and getting into politics, there are certain realities that both sides seem to have issues coming to grips with. You can’t make these decisions solely on ideology. And you certainly can’t make these decisions on emotion either.
Both sides of this issue need to view what will happen if they take certain actions and weigh what is best in the end.
Anyway, this is probably getting too political.
