The 12 Days Of Cripmas is a topical take of a classic carol listing the benefits and services currently being removed from disabled people in Britain. The lyrics were written by a user of the Ouch messageboards, sent to Where's The Benefit and the track produced and directed by BendyGirl of The Broken Of Britain. We're all incredibly proud of Imana our 11 yr old singing star who's mum has Multiple Sclerosis.
Happy Christmas to you from all of us at The Broken Of Britain and Where's The Benefit
Please share this track everywhere and let's see if we can get it some national media attention!
Non-partisan UK-based Disability campaign. Advocacy for people with invisible illness and/or physical & mental health conditions. Also Carers, their Families and Friends. 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.
I will pass this one to all the people I know in the UK including one journo.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I attended a minor peacful protest in Maidstone the other week where we sang Twelve Dayd of Christmas but with a similar slight twist:
ReplyDelete"Oh the first day of christmas the Con-Dems have to me
A three fold increase in my fees
On the second day of christmas the Con-De,s gave to me
No EMA
And a three fold increase in my fees"
And so on. I'll pass this video on.
