Benefit shortfall

Dover

Hi, I would love to find out how much our Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Trustees and members who have some influence in Parliament tried to influence the horrendous benefit cuts that are still going on today.

 Did Cheryl Gillan sign off the cuts in parliament whilst championing the Autism cause?

Did the Countess of Wessex approach the government with her worries over Autistic people?

I think I know the answers. Think, do you?

    I don't think that many people "choose a life on benefits as a lifestyle", that really sounds like it's straight out of the pages of the Daily Mail.  I am quite worried about the way that the press and certain elements within government have spent years vilifying and persecuting some of the country's most vulnerable people (and many of us may be counted among them) and how many people have bought into it.  It's not the disabled, sick and unfortunate who caused the financial crisis, but a person might be forgiven for thinking otherwise these days.
