Cameron's deal to reinstate Benefits?! / 14 July 2012
Crippen's cartoon about Cameron making a deal with disabled protesters
Why is it that the companies that Cameron and his cronies pay to handle such diverse matters as the Direct Payments Scheme (A4E) and now the stewarding of the Olympic Games (G4S), when they foul up, they get let off with little more than a slapped wrist?
Nothing about Breach of Contract, Penalty Clauses, or being made to give back the millions that they've been paid! No, the British tax payer coughs up yet again and we bail out yet another balls-up!
But what about all of the pieces that are left laying around after each 'jobs for the boys' project fouls up? Here we have the biggest corporate ... sorry I mean 'sports' event ever to take place within the UK and we're now told that there's insufficient people to actually steward it.
Rest assurred, Cameron is sure to have something up his sleeve to overcome this slight set-back ...

/I knew the Tories hated the minimum wage but I never imagined they'd counter attack by bringing back slavery.

/All the sites that are getting the message through about this government and the effects that this is having on disabled people are being targetted; Black Triangle, DPAC. Don't let them win Mr C. We're all depending on you!

/Glad to see that you survived the attempt to wipe out all of the postings on here!! Rest assured, you really must be hitting a nerve somewhere with somebody that really ought to know better!!!
Honest decent people who do know better will never be silenced!!!!
Whoever you are, we will always just bounce back, in ever greater numbers!!!!

/anyone needing information about workfare should look at either http://www.consent.me.uk/ or www.boycottworkfare.org
Both really good sites for information on this area of welfare cuts.

/There was an accident with Crippen's blog - perhaps something to do with it being Friday 13th.
Thankfully is resolved with help from our web developers Surface Impression who responded in lightening time. Thanks Peter
