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.
Although this film was terribly sad it shows the normal everyday life of the majority of people that have to live off benefits through no fault of their own, and not the odd ones that the sun etc are finding to make examples of. People really have to live like this, young, old, disabled, none disabled people and as a country we should be ashamed, i hope everyone thinks about this video the next time they put the kettle on for a warm drink or the heating to keep one room warm, lots of people have to think have i got the money to do that before they can even do it, Yes there are a minority that ruin it for the rest of us but the majority, struggle to live, there are better ways to make fairer cuts, hurting the vulnerable is not one of them thanks you x
Great film, thanks for posting. I think wording the message so assertively is a very good idea.
