Pat’s Petition and supporters have always pointed out that disabled people, their carers and families are hit the hardest by every cut and change that this government makes.
The latest Welfare Uprating Bill is yet another example. Disabled people and their families often have no choice but to rely on benefits and George Osborne, in his assertion that their benefits would be protected, recognises this.
But he lied.
Employment Support Allowance is the main benefit for disabled people (alongside Disability Living Allowance), yet ESA will not be protected. ESA was not included in his list of protected benefits.
George Osborne lied.

Firstly he should be tied into the ‘ducking stool’, then he will be lowered into the water many times. If he drowns he is innocent, but if he lives he is guilty.. then he should be put into the stocks for a week (at least). I think this only fair, people will want to get their own back.
Stop demonising the vulnerable and turn your attention to demonizing the MP S who think their role is to Make Profits and avoid paying as much tax as possible there are so many ways to raise money cut MPs expenses stop allowing MPS profiteering from selling a second home funded by the hard working struggling tax payers.
Claiming DLA is feeling like a liar and a cheat some sort of criminal im not I dont want to feel ashamed because im not abke to work.
Shame on you in your ivory tower
I never believed him , this stinking evil government are a bunch of nazis.
They cant get enough of hammering disabled people, they want us all dead in my opinion. I wish the next election would come sooner .
How can anyone believe in a Government who says they will protect the most vulnerable in our society when they constantly attack, the poorest in our country, they young and children of our country, the elderly of our country and the sick and disabled of our country. Who exactly are the vulnerable in our society. It would appear to be the rich and the capitalists who put money and profit before morality, ethics, human rights and decency.
All MP’s, MSP’s and those in the House of Lords who have allowed this persecution should be held accountable for thier actions.
Everyone should wirte to their MP or MSP and demand that this persecution stops.
The vulnerable did not get this country in to a recession, but we seem to be being held responsible for it.
Typical Torry arrogance of helping the rich and damming the poor. They are a morally baron party and their actions in the 21st Century is unlawful in the eyes of our human rights and under the Equality Act.
