“Even more stringent benefit cuts are on the cards.” “Ministers are planning billions in cuts to disability benefits.” “the House of Lords economic affairs committee said this might not be enough.”

FFS just legalise euthanasia already. I’d rather get a quick injection than starve to death out on the streets. Even the Nazis were kinder to the disabled, gassing them to death quickly.

  • It is kind of shocking to me how the ruling class pretends it doesn’t understand what a lucrative business disability has always been and how the service sector around it is one of the remaining things keeping capitalism standing in the West.

      Maybe they do understand and they want in. They’re destroying the safety net not to kill but to be the ones depended on, as survival is so much more lucrative as a grift

      I’ve been kind of thinking the amount of fools in power who do not understand where their value comes from outnumber those who do by a long shot these days. Failsons of failsons of all the old money who were just as evil but at least knew how the game worked. So the result of this is that now all of these lumps think that the money they have was always there and will always be there and they can do whatever they want. Which I guess to be fair has been the case for a long time, but the mammon machine doesn’t care and I’m waiting for the day they find out.
