    Honestly I never got involved with politics until I caught budget and sick note Britain bam they had me I am an emotional roller coaster but I'm fighting it yes fear breaks you down imagination running wild imagine losing everything thinking so far ahead then looking back and thinking oh god I cant go through that again made my world so small just me my daughter dad dogs having to face applying for UC and all changes unbearable but telling myself got no choice and millions doing the same and when I was younger god I was fearless so dig deep our minds determine our day our night our thoughts and all the rest is white noise we have illnesses we have proof we have help our are waiting for help one day at a time my aim tomorrow is to sit in my garden cup of tea sounds easy but not for me so that's my plan we're OK for today tomorrow's not guaranteed keep strong

    It doesn't matter , he said it is for others to decide. I CAN DECIDE MYSELF WHAT I AM AND HE TOLD ME I COULDN'T .

    Other people will make up their own minds based on what you say, that is a fact. But you get to decide what you do or don't say - the control is yours

    Agree, I had endometrial cancer and my husband had to give up the business to look after me ,I was awarded PIP and he got carers, we applied for UC and I was the one who was being put through the stress and anxiety of a work assessment , it was evil and it made me even more ill . I had that phone call from DWP 4 months after and was finally told I would not have to work. I am nearly 60 and have a few illnesses , i have sleep apnea and use a machine to keep me breathing during the night . Last night was a very bad night for me I was stopping breathing 12 times an hour , stress and upset make it worse . This is why i had to challenge the comment to me about ' it is not my decision whether I am racist or not it is others to decide' I don't think so , and while I agree it is a sensitive subject politics and immigration , I feel there no justification in being told that it wasn't my decision .

    I have reported it as this place is supposed to be a place to come for advice etc.

    I'm all for freedom of speech , but I do not want some Tm **** or Harry dictating to me what I can and cannot say or think .

    And the anxiety is very strong with this new government , not knowing if our PIP ect will be taken off us .
