“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.

    Right but I clarified in my original comment that I was talking about the housebound. I’m not saying that others do not exist, just considering what ghouls may be thinking about behind the scenes.

      What does this have to do with the topic though? Are you saying housebound people get too much money? And so what if they buy entertainment from abroad - doesn’t everyone these days? Should they have to stare at a blank wall all day? They are still contributing to the British economy by buying their food and utilities here, and as stated, many actually pay rent. To even bring up the topic of housebound people not contributing enough to the economy by supposedly spending money abroad is such a capitalist mindset - why do disabled people need to justify their existence and their pittance in payments by contributing to the economy anyway?

        Are you saying housebound people get too much money?

        No. Not everything is an argument or debate. I’m just thinking out loud and putting thought to post.

        Try to assume the best of everyone here.

        And so what if they buy entertainment from abroad - doesn’t everyone these days?

        Yes but the prior user mused that they’re contributing to the economy. They’re contributing to a different economy if it goes abroad. I’m speculating that the ghouls may think that has absolutely no meaningful value to them whatsoever.

        To even bring up the topic of housebound people not contributing enough to the economy by supposedly spending money abroad is such a capitalist mindset

        Yes it is, because I’m speculating about what they’re thinking.

        You’re assuming the worst instead of the best of other people here. I am not your enemy or trying to fight or argue with you, at all.

        why do disabled people need to justify their existence and their pittance in payments by contributing to the economy anyway?

        I agree. That does not mean the ghouls aren’t thinking it though.
