Channel 4 on the WCA

Channel 4 has been covering the welfare reform bill and interviewing people about the effects is will have on them and their thoughts about it. Yesterday, along with coverage from the hardest hit march in London, they showed an interview I did for them on my experience of the WCA and what it's like living on benefits

'Those' headlines - A refutation

Another great video by BendyGirl. She is working tirelessly for our rights as disabled people, and to refute the many falsehoods bandied about by the rightwing press. This is her response to the false and outrageous headlines in this morning's Daily Mail

75% of Incapacity Benefit Claimants are NOT being found fit for work

A call to arms

Another brilliant video from BendyGirl. A call to arms, to speak out and share our stories. To show the 'coalition' that we do count, that voices matter and they will be heard.

To the disabled people of Great Britain:



To the disabled people of Great Britain. Our individual voices are too quiet to be heard, but collectively we can shout loud enough to drown out this tide of abuse against us. Disability Hate Crime, lack of full legal protection, people in care homes costing too much to be let out and not one political party willing to fight for us. We must emulate other successful civil rights movements and with polite determination take our place as equal members of society. Please send me your stories as together we are unignorable.
Initially please email me at benefitscroungingscum@hotmail.co.uk until I can sort out a platform to host our stories and videos.

Shame on you Prime Minister, I know you know better

A simple, heartfelt message to Mr Cameron, with the sting of betrayal.



Such a great video from BendyGirl, who is disabled herself. She is right, he should know better. And we are ashamed.
