The Hardest Hit campaign goes local

October 4, 2011

This October, as the Welfare Reform Bill continues to make its way through parliament, and local spending cuts begin to really bite, please join ‘the Hardest Hit’ at an event in your region to make your voice heard.

The Hardest HitOn 22 October, disabled people, their families and friends are taking to the streets across the UK to protest against cuts to disability benefits and services. The events are planned one year on from the government’s spending review, which set out the plans to cut public spending that many fear could see disabled people being the “hardest hit”

Earlier this year, an estimated 8,000 people marched on Parliament to protest against the combined impact of local cuts and proposals contained in the Welfare Reform Bill that, unamended, will see far fewer disabled people, people with long term conditions and their families receiving the support they need to live independent lives.

Individual events are being held at the following locations:

*Belfast – Debate at the Radison Blu Hotel in Belfast on the Welfare Reform Bill’s impact on disabled people’s freedom and independence. Please note the Belfast event is on 20 October and starts at 1.30pm. Visit the Hardest Hit website to sign up to attend.

    Prople have been too Well Static and Complacent about the Threat to
    Welfare and Public Services by this Arrogant Ivory Tower Capitalist Roadster Regime

    The Problem is Capitalism and this Regime Plus People Burying their Heads
    in the Sand the Ostrich Attitude

    The Answer has to be the Cuckooland of Poverty and Oppression that the UK
    is the Abolition of Capitalism Absolutely The Redistribution of Wealth
    from Rich to Poor the Constitutional Protection of Welfare For the Poor
    and Vulnerable and the Abolition of that Nest of Scum the Expenses Scandal
    Parliament of Westminster

    The NHS Could Operate without that Filthy Politicians Gravytrain and so
    can the Whole UK

    Social Justice Now

  2. Freeman on September 20, 2011 at 17:54

    All the Chaos and Crisis of the Economic Crisis shows the Cuckooland
    of Oblivion what Slave Market Capitalism is Together with All the In Justice and Oppression it is Responsible For by the Mean Mindless Mentality
    it Creates in the Profiteers of Capitalism and the Collaborators with
    Capitalism.

    Solve the Economic Crisis Abolish Capitalism Slave Driving Bosses and
    Self Serving Politicians

  3. Freeman on September 21, 2011 at 12:19

    The Money towards Welfare Helps the Poor and Vulnerable MP’S Expenses
    is the Arrogance and Greed of Politicians Adding Insult to Injury .

    Someone Steals £3.50 of Water they get 6 Months MP Commit Expenses
    Scandal Outrages they just Grin their Gormless Smug Faces and Strut
    About in Expensive Suits

  4. Freedom 2011 on September 21, 2011 at 12:24

    It’s the Under Dog who Matters because the Under Dog is the Victim of the Greed of the Oppressors the Self Serving Politicians and Slave Driving Capitalists

    The Under Dog Starves All Day and Worries about the Rip Off Cost of Food Not to Mention the Quantity and Quality whereas the Oppressors Scoff their Greedy Faces and have Not a Clue about the Cost of Things.

  5. Freeman on September 22, 2011 at 16:31

    The Pantomime of Politicians Bulldozing and Railroading Diktats through
    upon Public Ignorance and Servility and Sleepwalking Needs to Stop.

    There is Money to Help the Poor and Vulnerable when Billions Cease to be
    Wasted Upon Nuclear Weapons The EU Gravy Train and MP’S Salaries and
    Expenses

    Welfare Rebuilding Not Welfare Ruination Masquerading as ” Welfare Reform ”

    I am Throughly Disgusted with Politicians the ” Mainstream ” Media and
    the Selfish and Supine amongst the UK Population who Cannot Show Compassion
    for Human Beings such as the Poor and Vulnerable.

  6. Freedom 2011 on September 23, 2011 at 11:33

    People Need to Get the Blinkers Off and Forget the Tabloid Newspapers
    Demonisation of the Poor and Vulnerable

    It is those Smug Faced Politicians who should have to Justify Themselves
    over the Diabolical State of Britain the Lack of Social Justice their
    Jetting Around the World and Lives of Riley Not to Mention the Morally
    Bankrupt Invasion and Oppression of the People of Afghanistan and Iraq

    Social Economic and Political Peaceful Revolution Now

  7. Freeman on September 24, 2011 at 13:12

    Just Wake Up Britain Forget what’s on the TV and Think about the Need
    for a Better Britain and the Need for Action via Revolution Political and
    Economic to Achieve This

    Defend Welfare and Oppose the Bloody Warfare of Afghanistan

  8. Freeman on September 26, 2011 at 13:23

    It Makes My Blood Boil with Absolute Rsge and Anger the Cretins who
    Try to Trivilise Poverty and Deprivation in this Land

    Poverty is Poverty Wherever People have Their Heads in the Sand about it
    or Not

    Capitalism is Evil and So is Trivilisation of Poverty

  9. Freedom 2011 on September 26, 2011 at 17:38

    Amidst a Terrible Economic Crisis, Massive Unemployment, Rising
    Food Prices and the Gulf between Rich and Poor Not Forgetting the Disgusting Outrage of the MP’S Expenses Scandal and the Cost of the War in Afghanistan in Both Money and Human Life it is Disgusting that the Welfare of the Vulnerable is Under Threat from an Out of Touch Government.

    A Caring and Civilised Society Helps and Protects the Vulnerable Not Allows them to be Villified in Gutter Tabloids whilst Millions and Billions are Wasted upon the War in Afghanistan.

    Welfare for the Vulnerable is Far More Justifiable than the Policies of this Distant and Out of Touch Millionaire’s Government.

    Let Welfare For the Vulnerable Remain and this Government Go Instead

  10. Freedom 2011 on September 27, 2011 at 15:13

    It is a Human Right to a Decent Standard of Living and also to
    Protection in Case of Disability and Vulneeability .

    Forget the Tabloid Villyfing of the Poor and Vulnerable the Greed of
    MPs on Expenses is the Outrage

    It is a Duty of a Government and a Civilised Society to Provide This
    which is Less Destructive than Billions Wasted upon Nuclear Weapons
    and the Wars in Iraq Afghanistan and Libya

  11. Freeman on October 4, 2011 at 15:36

    People Need to be Out Protesting and Demonstrating Every Day
    Demanding the Immediate Resignation of All Members of Parliament
    Rubberstamping like Parliamentary Sheep this Obnoxious and Disgusting
    Bill from a Parliament whose Cost is the Outrage

    It is Not a Obnoxious ” Welfare Reform Bill ” that is Needed but a
    Act for the Abolition of the Obnoxious Westminster Politicians Parliament
    which would be a Triumph of Common Sense to All but the Utterly Gormless

    A Decent Standard of Living is a Human Right Not a Privilege

    The MP’s of Westminster have a Lot to Answer For over the Expenses
    Scandal the Bloody Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and their Arrogance
    in General

  12. Freeman on October 7, 2011 at 16:12

    Demonstrations Need to Intensify and the Welfare of the Poor and
    Vulnerable Protected from Vicious Politicians who whilst Living the
    Life of Riley have No Human Compassion for the Poor and Vulnerable

    Wake Up Britain and Switch the TV Set Off

  13. Freeman on October 8, 2011 at 13:21

    It is MP’S Expenses and MEP’S on the Brussels Gravy Train which is
    the Outrage.

    The Poor and Vulnerable have a Human Right to Protection against
    Destitution and Let Capitalism Go to Hell
