(not satire – it’s the UK today!)
A severely disabled and sick man – who had his benefits stopped after ATOS found he was ‘fit’ for work – has died of malnutrition.
Mark Wood’s GP said if either ATOS or the Department for Work and Pensions had contacted him he would have said in his professional opinion Mr Wood was not fit for work.
But Mr Wood’s GP was not contacted by either ATOS or anyone from the DWP.
Here’s Mark Wood’s tragic story from the Oxford Mail:
Man starved after benefits were cut
So now in this country we’re leaving vulnerable people to literally starve to death.
A new low even for the Tories and Liberal Democrats, surely?

Its going to get worse, just this week in Chester a woman who stole some groceries from TESCO because she had had her benefits stopped was (and this is the good bit) fined £30 and ordered to pay £80 compensation to tesco.
