Sticky, Carol, the deaths have been clearly demonstrated by the coroners court to have occured not only under this government, but also due to the new benefits regime instigated by this government. The DWP have acknowledged said deaths and the figures are currently being investigated. These are not protected by the data protection.
Hillingdon Fraud is very low.
You know what, it's tiring defending our position, many of us have enough to do, we often hope for a bit of empathy on boards like this, but people like you, people who don't listen, who think we're on the attack rather than being defensive, you grind us down. You'd think that at 56, after years of lecturing, having to take early retirement to look after my severely disabled husband would earn me a bit of empathy, wouldn't you, but no, the minute we try to defend ourselves from you Hillingdon, your patronising attitudes, your sly vitriol, we're lefties (used as an insult). The only reason you get shit, is because you dish it out. You're rude, aggressive and desperate to prove a political point. Desperate to prove that your way of voting is better than ours (not that I vote Labour, although I am a leftie and proud) and that you are somehow superior because of your beliefs, because you think that if the lazy and feckless are stopped all will be right with the world. If fraud stops, it doesn't leave more for the rest of us you know, it just stays. There isn't more in the pot for others. All most of us want is a bit of help, a bit of understanding. I've said to you before how hard I work, how shattered I am. I haven't said that I come on here and read posts like yours and sticky's and Carol's* and cry.
I don't get out, it's really hard, for so many reasons to leave the house, my husband can't be left for long, it costs to get a carer in, the government cut my respite care. So, I go on internet forums for a bit of 'outside world'. I get folk like you who instead of saying, okay, Donna, I see your point, it can't be easy, I get, oooh, get you, know it all leftie, you just want to slate us. I don't. I just want you to understand the fear, how hard it is to cope with little sleep and little money.
Thanks, all of you for helping the isolated, hard working carers of this world, along with the isolated, lonely, frightened disabled people of the boards, feel so much better about their lives.
