Official thread: ‘Get Britain Working’ White Paper released Tuesday 26th November

Im worried about them repealing the equality act, and leaving the ECHR. They won't have GP's involved in their own fit to work/disability assessments either. Plus they said if you dont get a job within 4 months your benefits stops, I don't think I know a disabled person who got a job in less than 4 months.

I think the ECHR provides a lot of protections to disabled people and I'd be very very worried about leaving it!!!

Thanks for replying , have you got any proof of this so I can read it please , and who are the far right , do you mean those who voted to leave the EU and those who didn't vote Labour ? just wondering .

REFORM are doing very well , nobody can say they can never be in power .

Quite naturally, many people are worried; let me try to allay your fears:

• Britain is not going to leave the ECHR, Labour has not said it will leave the ECHR, and the ECHR is totally 'separate' institution from the EU.
• The Tories talked about leaving the ECHR for ears and years but never did. Fact.
• Britain, thus has a Human Rights Act 200, please Google it and read it, what the law actually says, and what it protects us from; it protects us from discrimination and abuse of any kind cannot be tolerated; if you feel abused, you can take the government of the day to court, as an individual, or as group action, with others(please Google ''civil legal aid, U.K.''
• There is an Equality Amendment Act 2010, which merged all the previous antidiscrimination laws; it is ne of the most comprehensive equal opportunity laws in th world - apart from South Africa's.
• There is the UN Charter on the Rights of Disabled People, which Britain has signed; please Google it and read it.
• There is ''Disability Rights, U.K'' and the ''Mind Legal Unit'' please Google these and read them well.

Finally, I have not attended any benefits test for ESA or PIP for 20 years.

Yet even the Citizen's Advice Bureaux wrongly advise disabled people that they have to attend Work Capability, or PIP assessments; you emphatically do NOT have to attend benefit assessments, if

• it makes you fell stressed, your health deteriorates with the anxiety of facing them (duty of care) and /or the assessment process cause you to think, feel or act suicidally (ECHR Article 2 your Right to Life).
• No one, nobody, not even govt can bully, intimidate or harass you: all you have to say is: ''I feel suicidal/ bullied, intimidated/ harassed and / or suicidal by your talking down to me, and not following your duty of care towards me.''
• Every citizen has a right to dignity, humanity, respect for theiur views, ven if against govt policy, and that includes disabled and distressed people.
• You health and safety is affected; there are Health and Safety laws

The discussion in SCOPE's forum I have found is too negative, worried and unproductive, we need to gem up on our human rights, and for SCOPE to tell us weekly on a Monday I suggest, what it is currently doing to work with disabled organisations, like Disability Rights UK, Mind Legal Unit, and others e.g. Equality and Advisory Committee of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (I have sent this post to the CEO's, campaign managers of the latter organisations, and many others, e.g. elderly peoples groups, as it concerns them too.
