A disabled man who starved to death after his benefits were wrongly stopped

Have to start somewhere, start by demonising the poor as scroungers and layabouts who suck money out of the system, foreigners are always an easy taget as they look different and talk different and why are they over here taking our jobs? Our bloody jobs that were our birthright!

When you hear about manual labourers on less than £10 an hour arguing against the minimum wage because someone at Mcdonalds would earn that and to them that isn't an honest graft viting Tory because as long as someone is worse off than them they have someone to look down on.

The first groups targeted in Nazi Germany were the disabled and the unemployed, the net then expanded to take in other groups.
Today in the UK the net is expanding to take in the elderly who are characterised as the latest drain on national resources.

How many times RWR on here talk about being net contributors (in their minds using their Nursery School Maths) and then complain about other people who are drains on society.

These same RWR will promote health insurance - well that works like all Insurances where everyone pays in and then some people get paid out when needed, in their twisted logic once you became a net drain you should be kicked off - but then what is the point of health insurance? You might as well put the money under the mattress for a rainy day.

Hitler always had it in for jews and communists but the disabled were being systematically bumped off in clinics and hospitals before the war started.
One of Duncan Smiths favourite catchphrases when talking about welfare reform was "Work is good for you" eerily reminiscent of the sign on the front gates of the death camps which said "Work shall set you free".
When you consider the state sponsored campaign by the government and the media to psychologically innoculate the population against unwanted viruses like empathy and respect for those less fortunate, then we could be a slippery slope.

The lack of empathy is certainly alive and well -even on this thread.

The British Taxpayer can always find the money to bail out the deserving poor.

"RBS pays out £588m in bonuses despite suffering £8.24bn loss"
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/feb/27/rbs-bonuses-loss-pay-market-rate

In another year:

"Royal Bank of Scotland has awarded bonuses in shares to its senior managers worth almost £16m.

Its annual bonus awards were slipped out after the Budget and included details of £6m in awards paid out from declarations in previous years.

The payments to executives is down from £17.4m last year

RBS reported last month reported its ninth consecutive year of losses, although the underlying bank is in more robust shape.

Bonuses awarded this year will not pay out before 2020. Chris Marks, the head of the investment banking operation, NatWest Markets, was awarded shares of more than £2m.

Alison Rose, who runs the commercial bank, receives £1.8m and Les Matheson, the head of the high street banking business, £1.2m.

Chief executive Ross McEwan (pictured), earned a pay packet of £3m last year and was awarded nearly £3m in shares, receivable from 2021."

Nothing more than a job creation scheme for people in suits.
To qualify for help you need to have a large house and private school fees to pay.

wrong
we all know benefit scroungers exist

but people like hate never mention those suffering due to universal credit or PIP, he only talks about 'benefit scroungers' -its a narrative that is deliberate because it stereotypes all on benefits the same way. Its a deliberate RW narrative because it deflects from the millionaires not paying taxes.

So how come most of the rest of Europe have worked that one out and value their people?
Could their approach be behind the tories hatred of the 'European Social Model'?
