How interesting.
So, Mr Caseby – caught lying for your masters again.
Are you going to blame THIS on The Guardian?

Well over half a million sickness benefits appeals have succeeded – why has the DWP kept this quiet?
DWP ministers said only 9% of ESA decisions were wrong. Our research reveals the DWP have been quoting from figures which state 151,800 appeals have succeeded. Our evidence shows the true figure to be at least 567,634 – casting serious doubt over 43% of 1,302,200 ‘fit for work’ decisions.
ilegal Press Release – 16th June 2013
DWP’s internal figures reveal a much higher number of successful ESA appeals than have been made publicly available.
A DWP reply on 13 June 2014 to a Freedom of Information Act request made as part of an investigation in to DWP figures relating to the controversial Work Capability Assessment by ilegal.org.uk has revealed that of 1,287,323 ESA appeals, at least 567,634 claimants have had the original DWP decision overturned in their favour.

We all should know by now. They are always exaggerating figures. The British government and DWP are all working hand in hand. We are all living in a country so ruled by a fascist-dictatorship-state. This is of course The Bloated EU and their demanding puppets. But leaving The EU would also spell disaster for our human rights too. Somehow the politicians have got us all over a barrel. Where do we all go from here now?

There lies the irony, because, if I understand correctly, wasn’t it the UK who played a large part in drawing up the Human rights act? Also aren’t there some rights that they would be unable to get rid of, in or out of the EU?

The UK played a large part in setting up the European Court of Human Rights. The UN and EU created frameworks of human rights legislation that were ignored by successive Conservative governments, then when (New) Labour came along in 1997 the Human Rights Act was brought in, so it would be more accurate to say that the international organisations played a large part in the drafting of what became the British law.

The UK needs a ‘constitution’ that can never be altered or changed by idiot politicians either on a whim, political dogma or as a cost cutting exercise. It must be protected in law and be the foundation stone of our society. It should not be written by politicians, bankers, Tory Party Donors, or overseas investors or any not born in the UK. Those eligible to be involved in writing such a ‘constitution’ must prove themselves to be ordinary working class citizens, with the good of UK and its peoples, at heart.
