"If you are going to use taxpayer’s money you
should allow people to put the other side of the case as well." Bleats
Boris Johnson, a Tory MP promoting Brexit, about his own governing Conservative
Party playing fast and loose with the rules.
Is this government allowing the Port Talbot workers to
put their side of the case? Did IDS ever allow disabled people to put their
side of the case over the absolute unfairness of the £30 cut for ESA WRAG
claimants? Or were representatives of disabled people, ROFA, etc, allowed to
put forward disabled peoples’ side of the case when the government changed the
rules for claiming PIP?
This government, and its predecessor, have ridden
rough shod over disabled people. They have slashed benefits and cut services despite
DPOs, campaigning groups and individual disabled people and their supporters
putting forward strong evidence that showed the cuts would be detrimental.
Therefore, Johnson’s whining has no credibility as far
as I’m concerned. Johnson is just another grasping Tory who sees his own
financial future brighter; who envisages the opportunity to acquire greater
wealth more easily in a UK devoid of the social gains ordinary people enjoy
within the EU.
