FYI- Some of you might like to sign yet another petition but it only takes a few seconds to do.
The blurb says-
For those of us who are genuinely sick and disabled the new government reforms will make us an easy target to save the country thousands of pounds.
We believe that the constant vilification of sick and disabled claimants as work shy scroungers by the press has a great deal to do with increasing levels of harassment. We also believe that the DWP and successive government ministers and MPs have knowingly or recklessly fed stories and quotes to the press about claimants, which have drastically increased the levels of press hostility in recent years.
Amongst the example of what constitutes harassment, the EHRC include:
derogatory, demeaning or humiliating remarks
offensive or patronising language
insults
threats and intimidation
We need all sick and disabled claimants and their carers to sign this petition and help us to place the blame for the increasing hatred and harassment of disabled people where much of it belongs – at the doors of the DWP and its ministers.
