“They talk about art, and think us such poops for dressing in the evening.”

“It just didn’t occur to me that we wouldn’t be able to get out at the other end.”

“So well intended, and yet so insulting.”

“Aunt Petunia found a few moldy blankets in the second room and made up a bed for Dudley on the moth-eaten sofa.”

I’m sure anyone from the UK who reads this blog is already aware of this story. But for the rest of you, this is about ESA - Employment Support Allowance, a benefit for those who are unfit for work due to disability, chronic illness, terminal illness etc. The assessments for this are run by a private company, ATOS, who appear to be a complete shambles pulling stunts like running their assessments from buildings only accessible by stairs then failing wheelchair users for not turning up, and now they have declared a coma patient fit for work.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, ESA?!
