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

Thank you. I wonder whether there will be grants to transform wetrooms so that they will double as home offices.

The 80 percent is over ten years I read

Kimmy when they do it's just a proposal right ? Does it matter if they have so many seats ?

But we should focus on the positive on it however awful it might sound

The 80% employment goal to which they refer is 80% of the working age population not 80% of disabled people.

Don't sit back folks, write top your MP:

''find your MP'' Google it.

And please tell them, the Getting Britain Working bill will cost you as a disabled person stress, anxiety and depression, even suicidal freelings given the DWPs history of causing say, 16,000 suicides in one year, for which they got slammed by the DWP Select Committee of MPs, which monitors the DWP. The parliamentary select comitte did condemn the DWP for taking away even terminally ill peoples disability leaving them destitute, and as they could not work, they suicided. Yet the committee said every citizen has rights to benefits, to life, and to a duty of care, and health promotion.

I know its difficult, but be strong, be patient, be positive take action, survive even thrive.

Please don't give up, why (?) because YOU are worth it, and all disabled people are worth a better life, income, and genuine, disabled people-led help back into work, not stigmatisation.

Can someone from SCOPE tell us if SCOPE has a a letter writing campaign to MPs re the DWP bill? If there is not one, then please create one: our lives are vital, and need improvement.

I have felt anxious and depressed, even suicidal over Xmas, as I live alone, have 31 diagnoses,

6 are life threatening, e.g. the aforementioned 2, and Complex PTSD.

Yet I am still here being a poltical and spiritual warrior.

Look after yourselves and I will do the same. Be kind and self compassionate to yourselves, and others - especially when its hardest.

Thankyou

We need to contact the media e.g. GMTV, and comment on their programme, as individuals, and ask SCOPE to.

Does SCOPE have a media/publicity Department?

Also contact radio, TV channels, newspapers, websites, social media, and copy any of our responses to others/ Getting Britain Working.

We CAN all do this by putting it in the media first, our fave TV, and radio programmes, e.g. Woman';s Hour Radio 4, etc.

Sending an email, or calling up their listeners telephone numbers, is easier than posting a letter is not it?

Please do not hesitate - just do it - and copy any articles, and responmses in this discussion group, please. Many thanks.
