Speaking as someone who is an unfortunate 'victim' of these benefit cuts I can assure everyone that not everyone lives the life of luxury as IDS and the rest of his cronies like to keep insisting are the drain on our society.
I had open heart surgery in 2008, major complications followed and I was in Intensive care for 10 days
I have had 3 major operations since then, one of them resulted in the loss of half of my digestive system
Move on to 2011
My wife suffered a heart attack at work, was rushed to the nearest Heart Specialist hospital and had stents fitted into her arteries, 4 weeks later suffers a stroke and is again taken to hospital.
2012 due to her walking problems they discover she has Type 1 dabietes and further tests reveal that she has severe blood flow problems through her arteries in her legs.
I am only posting this just to prove that not everyone on benefits are scroungers/deadlegs ...... at least we have paid into a system all our working time and expected that it would support us when needed most, how wrong can you be. You need to jump through hoops just to get get basic allowance, you are treated like scum from the JobCenter Staff, one of which suggested my wife hadn't done enough to look for work two weeks after a heart attack
I could go on and on about our fight for basic benefits, but I won't bore you with that .......... All I will say is that I just hope nobody should have to go through what we have just to get what you are entitled to, and when I say entitled to I mean paid into ............ like an insurance contract, hang on, is that not what it is called, National Insurance ? Has anyone ever seen the terms and conditions for paying into this contract ?
I forgot to add that I hope Ian Duncan Smith dies a very slow a painfull death, infact make it a very sudden but painfull death, because he is the most obnoxious and arrogant prat I have ever heard !!!!!
