Opinionated & bit of a strange individual. Still don’t have the £ or following to justify a blue tick. If I block, you deserve it.

@TuckerClemens You’re absolutely right, when Labour increased minimum wage the company I worked for lowered their profits, but still had to increase prices of the products so they could pay more than minimum wage. 1/2

[Root @rootofproblems]

@martyuk26 And meanwhile the government and media are threatening disabled people, allowing media to portray them as shirkers and scroungers. If it’s that hard for healthy people to get jobs, how are people with odds stacked against them supposed get a job?

[Root @rootofproblems]

This is the government’s idea of food security! When the media is full of warnings about climate change food scarcity, what is England’s farmland used for? Housing! Wouldn’t be so bad if it was affordable, but it’s not! Who can afford £350k to start.

[Root @rootofproblems]

@platinumriggs @BladeoftheS Citizens will put up with it because the government & the media have ‘othered’ certain people like the disabled, who are targeted for being ‘unaffordable’ people are selfish, they all think if the benefits stop for those people it will save them paying tax

@ReformDaily_ I guess because assisted dying has been voted down the only way to off disabled people is to leave them homeless, without support and starving! Meanwhile MPs are still collecting £98k+ & their benefits!

@rfos81 @CallumLyon Pets, children, cars and holidays are not things you need! Toiletries clothes & bedding are only necessary if the government deem they are.
Good luck with being impervious to bad luck and health all your life 👍🏻

[Root @rootofproblems]

@rfos81 @CallumLyon Yeah, pets, children, cars, holidays, medical supplies, occasional cake in your shopping, shampoo, soap, clothes, bedding. Where going to stop? You yourself are a day away from something going wrong that upends your life, don’t get too complacent & arrogant

[Wheelie MS Advocate - #PoweredByExperience - ♿️ @WheelieFUMS]

In light of the way #HelenWhatley and the Tories are carrying on, I think it’s time every one of you signed this petition.

Because let’s call this what it is: disabled people are being scapegoated.

We are being portrayed as lazy, entitled and a burden, as though the support we need to live is some generous gift we should constantly be grateful for.

It is the same dangerous political tactic we see used against migrants: pick a group, blame them for problems they didn’t create, stir up resentment and hope nobody looks too closely at those actually responsible.

Hate against disabled people is no more acceptable than hate directed at migrants, or anyone else.

Enough is enough.

Please sign the petition, share it and show them that disabled people will not be their political punchbags.

Have 2 laugh @BoozeAndFagz! Oped in ipaper about disabled rebels. Shame she couldn’t help herself having a pop @ those with hidden disabilities again!
Ironic she appears to show support while wanting disabled people 2 go without financial help

[Root @rootofproblems]

@ReliablyGenX @SaulStaniforth Yeah but it won’t apply 2 millionaires only though will it! It will apply 2 working disabled people trying to save 4 something while paying 4 additional costs, they save £16k & their PIP stops, they use that £16k 2 pay a bill, they have no PIP & no support

[Root @rootofproblems]

@ReliablyGenX @SaulStaniforth Yeah people r taxed, disabled people r taxed same as u. The difference being u don’t have the expenditure disabled people have! U don’t own my money but I pay your doctors bill & ur kids school meals through tax, the same as I pay 2 help disabled people costs

[Root @rootofproblems]

@ReliablyGenX @SaulStaniforth Yep means test it and leave disabled people who work without support so they lose their jobs! Why should someone in an electric wheelchair lose their PIP because they’ve saved up for a new, improved chair!

[Mike O'Brien🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Mikeo56977865]

For too long, the public conversation around disability benefits and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) has been dominated by myths, misinformation and harmful stereotypes.

Headlines often focus on cost rather than need. Commentators speak about disabled people without listening to disabled people. Political rhetoric can reduce complex human experiences to simple narratives that fuel division rather than understanding.

@oldbean2014 @GMB If allowed then how many disabled and elderly people will be knocked off?!
We’ve already got the government and the media scapegoating old and unwell people as ‘drains on society & NHS’! Suicide isn’t illegal, so nothings stopping you dying if you want to.

[Root @rootofproblems]

If the assisted dying bill goes through, I wonder how long it will be before my doctor offers me death instead of a transplant.

[Root @rootofproblems]

@MPIainDS Will you employ them all @mpiainds? I mean all of the 1.7 million people fighting for 707,000 jobs? Some of these are healthy people with more chance of working. So YOU MUST employ the ones ‘languishing’ qualified or not! YOU personally employ them

[Root @rootofproblems]

@DrSdeG They’re thinking about cutting costs!
Labour government are still about cutting costs! Look @ the determination 2 throw disabled people under bus, cutting essential support & manufacturing public consent with programs like Jeremy vines show & loose women

[Root @rootofproblems]

@yassermahmood11 @kuhchuk Are you counting pensioners, students, the sick & disabled among those ‘who can’t be arsed to work’?
707,000 vacancies in the U.K. across all sectors, 1.77mn actively seeking work who may or may not be qualified for those jobs. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Root @rootofproblems]

@DesmondWard1000 @Hossylass @southrunner24 @BBCPolitics What people need to do is make up their minds if they want disabled people to work or not!
Government are saying remove PIP so disabled people are forced to work jobs that don’t exist or die, but PIP helps a lot of disabled people to work!
