    @MediaActivist Hi Jay. I'm sorry, I don't have anything for you except to say...... CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 🎉 🥳

    That is a long time and an enormous amount of work. Very impressive. I'd love to be able to look back on doing something worthwhile like you can.

    Great job. Keep up the good work. All the best from the midlands in the UK.

    Dave👋

    @MediaActivist 2/n and have to totally rely on a state that sees you, at best, as a burden, at worst, as a scrounger, lazy and a thief, stealing from 'hard working taxpayers'.

    As I say, it is not a 'smiley' read, but it is an honest, but brief account.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    @MediaActivist Hi Jay 👋 I wrote a thread (https://union.place/@PoliticalPuffin/111431510132560741) about exactly this just a few days ago. I warn you, it is not full of my stupid jokes but it is an honest, if abridged, account of one persons experience of 'dealing'?? being steamrollered is perhaps more accurate, by the DWP.

    To be so open about my experiences was not easy. I did it because, well, many reasons. However, I simply want people to understand, if just a bit, of what it is like to have chronic illness in the UK...

    1/n https://bit.ly/DWPProcessKills North England Man Takes Own Life: Outcome from DWP UC application?

    I recently wrote of my experiences with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and the private companies that 'administer' their cruel and harmful policies. Writing about it took me by surprise. I keep my fear, terrors and the results very closely guarded...

    @MediaActivist 1/n Hi Jay 👋 There's so much to rage about here, it's hard to know where to begin. The reporting of Johnson as being completely out of his depth, too stupid to comprehend, and emotionally unstable, for me, are in the 🤷 category. I don't see anything I didn't already know.

    As for Sunak's support for the death of some proles? A guy who thinks the world smells of 'new' and has a wealth of £0.5-0.75 billion, and conducts himself in the manner of a younger Johnson...

    @MediaActivist 3/n fault.

    So, do I find it plausible that Sunak said during the pandemic while being one of the single most powerful people in the UK that the government he is part of should 'let people die'? Not only plausible but I'd be gobsmacked to hear he said anything other!

    The 'revelations' from Paddy Vallance's diary are all well an good, but they are 1,000s of deaths too late!

    Simply seeing fellow #humans as ends in themselves seems a very low bar to get over. Seems I have been far too optimistic.Labels such as #socialist, #communist etc seem redundant if the #lives of others are so easily disposed of. A more fundamental politics, recognizing the worth and value all have in and of themselves is imperative.I'm trying to #listen more and #talk less as a start#humanity#equality#justiceforall#UnionOrganising
