More Welfare Cuts for the disabled and the poor. Why do they hate us?

[WatchmeBurn]

Chancellor set to cut welfare spending by billions

Cuts to areas including welfare will be put to the official forecaster ahead of the Spring Statement.

More austerity, more cuts to benefits and disability support. Rhetoric blaming young people for being mentally ill and unwell at a time when the NHS is completely dysfunctional, in which the social contract is completely broken, and in which the world is getting visibly worse in every way. Shock over a rising welfare bill when we have no functional healthcare system, when the population is getting older, when we mismanaged a once-in-a-century pandemic, and when people are too exhausted and miserable to be healthy.

This wont get people back into work because they need MORE support, not less. It'll just get people killed. Austerity from 2010-2019 alone killed about 150,000-300,000 people as per studies, and this is just continuing the proud tradition of vile cunt George Osbourne. Of course the right-wing morons on the BBC comment section all support it because they have no understanding of anything outside their own narrow life experience. I wish I lived in a better world with a better humanity. I can't take it anymore. I just wish I was dead like these bastard politicians clearly want (as someone who is young, disabled, mentally ill, and from a very poor background) so I could finally see peace from all of this. The world's just going to carry on getting worse in my lifetime and there's nothing I can do to stop it. People would rather blame asylum seekers and brown people than recognise the reality that we're subject to constant class war, but only one side's taking part in it.

Fuck Reeves, fuck Kendall, fuck Labour, fuck the government, and fuck this rotten, hateful country. I'm so glad I voted Green.

Just out of curiosity, what does state-provided mental health support even look like here? A friend received some form of counselling in his younger years for severe OCD and he said that it basically amounted to him just chatting with a well-meaning but rather useless normie guy about his thought patterns or something.

Best pray you don't get a Green government ... the two Green Mimisters we had in our devolved administration (courtesy of the closed list D'Hondt voting system) were not only disasters personally, Ms Slater the Canadian who left Canada to avoid repaying her student loan wasted millions on a bottle deposit return scheme just to be different from England and Wales. Just to scrap it as unworkable and leave the taxpayer to pick up the costs for the legal cases now being brought by major manufacturers to recoup the further millions they spent preparing for this debacle.
She was, of course, so committed to Green principles that she spent thousands on chartering a private luxury catamaran to visit an island rather than use the regular ferry service. Not to mention the 600 mile round trip in ministerial car and driver as the lady doesn't do trains.
Their personal expenses claims make horrifying reading ... Green are just as proficient as spaffing public money as the rest of them. They stop the gravy train just long enough to climb aboard.

Looks pretty much invisible to most of us. Or, a never ending line of sick people abandoned to our own devices.

I love how they make it seem like it's so easy to get help & benefits and that therefore a chunk of people who utilise them must be frauds, when in reality people get found dead next to DWP rejection letters because of how ableist the system is.
