Star Etheridge - UKIP And Disabilities - 3rd December.

Today is the UN designated international people with disabilities day. If only the UN & EU had the slightest idea of what it is like to be disabled in the 21st Century. I live in England so will discuss how people with disabilities are treated in the UK. There are many disabled/ chronically sick people who are simply not being cared for by their national Government. The coalition has implemented a new benefits system which has caused fear, doubt, labelled disabled people as scroungers and accused them of cheating the system. In the past 4 years over 60 disabled people have committed suicide directly due to the Work Capability Assessments, undertaken By ATOS (who rescinded their contract early).
