Labour is going to get a lot of disabled people killed it seems, it has chosen them as the scape goat and is blaming them for the nations finances. Its disgraceful open bigotry.

Because if you boil it down to the bare basics those the country is in hock to; those that run the investment funds that own the country’s debt, as well as most of it’s essential services (power, water/sanitation, transport, etc.) have the entire country held hostage.
They simply threaten to melt the country down if the status quo isn’t protected.
Every single person’s pension/savings/entire life’s worth is dependant on these people not fucking everyone over. The actual country’s debt is in the same hands.
Shy of complete a meltdown and reset they have complete control over how the country is run, which is why things are the way the are.
