A letter a day to number 10. No 1,134 Wednesday 01 July 2015. Dear Mr Cameron, I really have to wonder just who the hell you think you are? Your attacks on disabled people are now one stop short of being a cull, which, under the circumstances, would be more honest. Your policies couldn’t make […]

Disabled people brutalised into labouring to save the economy, but no ILF. Oh really?
A letter a day to number 10. No 945 Sunday 14 December 2014. Dear Mr Cameron, We are facing system failure and sadly that’s down to a failure of imagination and a failure to progress. For example, you and the Unions have something in common, work, you may differ over how you see it but […]
