Media lashing out on disabled people

On my Facebook feed, clip from talk tv that presenter Julia Hartley brewer hitting out about people on Pip , that they can work but choose not too. This woman is vile, She knows nothing about pip that you can work and claim it. It's very hard to claim. She mocks mental health issues, young people again . I have seen her on it before. Judgemental woman, she thinks she's right all the time. She cuts off the people she's interviewing if they don't agree with her. And constantly interrupting them and the people who phone in. It's supposed to give people a voice their opinion which she dosent. It only her opinion that matters.

Media fail to mention PIP is paid to working people and unemployed people @Andi66 it's just lazy journalism and a campaign against people on benefits. Ironically, as a single parent I got more money from benefits when I was working, due to low paid jobs.

Love how these people have insight into all our lives. Must use a crystal ball to see how we function daily.

Sweeping statements mean nothing. Take my pip and give me my health back.

I'd give it up in an out of control svt heart beat.

Get rid of my 14 conditions and I'll work.

Past two years my downwards health spiral has been horrendous. Not to mention the decades of pain and frightening misery.

What a joke that they pretend to know us.

Welcome to the British media. A propaganda arm of the UK establishment designed to brainwash the masses into believing fascist drivel (if not become ful on fascists themselves).

scapegoating minorities is also how capitalism survives.

I don't bother with listening to people like this, as they do bother me, and I end up explaining myself in my head over and over again, it's like OCD or a stuck record or something.
