Just been on a course about new benefit system

[buggyRunner]

Christ it's a big shake up.

I say this as someone who won't be personally affected- it is harsh.

Basically if you claim any benefits other than child benefit you're probably going to have a loss.

So you think they should be forced into a worse lifestyle then,JCD?

[KarlosKKrinkelbeim]

What a disgusting remark, Josephine. People do not ask to have disabilities. Most decent people agree that those who cannot work, through no fault of their own, are entitled to dignity and proper living standards.
you may well encounter a situation in the future where you cannot support yourself through illness or infirmity. i assume you will take yourself off to the gutter the instant that happens, and make no claim on the state?

[KarlosKKrinkelbeim]

Josephine, I am one of many parents of children with disabilities here. unfortunately I am all too aware that there many people out there who are, to be blunt, as helplessly stupid as you who would condemn people with disabilities for their inability, through no fault of their own, to be economically productive. but by and large such people are not found here on MN, and certainly not welcome here. So I have reported your post. And I hope you are banned.

[crazynanna]

So someone who has the misfortune to be disabled and incapable of work must be and stay in a worse situation than a healthy,able employed individual...that is sick

[JosephineCD]

So should someone that works all week stay in a worse situation than someone that is unable to work? If you said that to people in most countries in the world, or in this country 20 or more years ago, they'd say you were crazy, and rightfully so.

[cormsilkye]

Josephine you are disgustingly ignorant..

[JosephineCD]

No, I have a different opinion. Do you really think what I have said is so off-base to what the general opinion of the average working British person thinks?

[usualsuspect]

I'd shut up if I were you Josephine

[usualsuspect]

Your posts are some of the worst I've ever seen on MN.

I hope you get banned.

[crazynanna]

I am an average working British person, and no...i do not believe disabled people should be worse off than me.

So there you have it.

[JosephineCD]

Sorry if I have upset anyone but these are my beliefs. I will say no more on the subject.

[Dahlen]

josephine, you cannot compare a national heritage benefitting an entire nation to personal inheritance. That's just ridiculous!

Some will always be more fortunate than others. It's the way of the world, but IMO it behoves anyone with a shred of decency to contribute willingly to the welfare of society's most vulnerable.

Good call OliviaMN. I was starting to feel a bit nauseous and was about to hide my very first thread since joining.

[ASillyPhaseIAmGoingThrough]

[usualsuspect]

[carernotasaint]

[ASillyPhaseIAmGoingThrough]

Olivia, nice and swift, thanks.

[SundaeGirl]

Josephine is not a Tory.

[ASillyPhaseIAmGoingThrough]

I wonder if Josephine when ill later in life will then hang her head in shame.

[OliviaLMumsnet]
