    Hello I would like to say a few words or more about MP's.  I agree they seem to have their own agenda, that is true.  Yet what many people do not realise the Government and the laws are put into place by extremely, hard working MP's.  Who many do not come from privileged back grounds.

    Who work long hours well in to night and early morning.  A lot of them are also women more than ever in Parliament with young children.  Until you have I like have done many times.  Been to Parliament lobbying and involved in looking at disability.  How the country is run by going to PMQ's which you can do so  I have a genuine interest in political issues.  Especially around disability and the welfare system.

    I am not defending the actions of the Government what they have done.  To this community of ours.  The way we are treated. It is all wrong, we have a voice and that needs to raised when we vote.

    A lot of MP's do not have any idea of disability or illness unless they have come across it in their own personal lives.  I am also amazed by the lack of education, knowledge a lot of MP's have about our community.

    Please can I tell you that my interest began in politics because of a member of my family was a local councillor.  I never voted for her because she had us all ingrained with the ideals of her party.

    Which turned me off, then I realised the true meaning of what politics and how things are run.  Coming home to see the local MP in our front lounge.  Him the opposition to my Mothers party.

    Over tea and sandwiches cake and the pleasantries I asked I thought you disliked each other.  No not really we have to work together called Cross Party Support.

    This happens now all party committee on everything government says or do.

    I just thought I would explain about Government if you do not mind.

    In my own opinion this is my view.  I am being cynical.  MP stands for More Power or More Pay.  Some do think that is what the position is .  Believe me I have met them.

    In my previous employment as in Government positions agencies and the rest mainly placements.  The lower ministers come up to visit.  Totally unaware of the North and the situation then about twenty years ago.  They have no idea many ministers are not local never been up here.  As one quoted to the senior manager kept going on about it.  Very green lots of fresh air.  Many still do not understand the North.

    The situation has changed but all MP's may I say have surgeries in their local office  so if you have an issue they will duly listen.  They have  I know many of them do have concern especially if your MP like mine is a Labour MP.  The issues surrounding ESA and PIP plus anything else.  I have read quite a few posts where our community have contacted their MP's.  Got a reply.

    Thank you every body

    Hello Victoriad anyone who applies for work have an application form which states of any health condition in the last ****** Anyone who as proven by the hospital and GP that you can go back work on non pressure light jobs you have rights. If the person is unpredictable they would not be fit for work. This depends on the persons situation with some certain conditions and medication these all are put into consideration.  Employers have different application 6 months, 12, 2yrs etc.
     Police records are kept on file which employees can find this out with out problem if they have committed a long term sentence. The law changed to tighten after a certain incidents had been was employed but had a criminal record this caused shorten lives of patients. You can not have offenders of this crime going back into a similar job the other side of the country. This takes away medical licence. This also applies for different crimes that if it is related or similar they would not be employed. It is a very complex issued question but the employees have the answers if check outs are carried out.
