No surprise there, then.

He's reported every single post? That's rich!

I know, cheeky sod!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

But what exactly has he reported people for?

£100,000 in expenses - whose the real "scrounger" here?

Oh do fuck off please. Learn to separate the label from the person. Because a person with diabetes can work with no additional help, and a person who has lost a leg through diabetes can work with assistance, it does not mean that somebody who needs daily dialysis due to kidney failure caused by diabetes is therefore fit to work.

Dialysis being an excellent case in point, as it's indefinite until an organ becomes available, and most sessions are 3-4 hours 3 times a week, assuming of course that you can get a machine at your appointment time, which is not always possible. Dialysis is a survival procedure, due to restricted diet fatigue is often reported as well as longer term problems such as reduced bone density, shunt access problems, risk of infection to name but a few. To think that anyone is fit for work whilst on dialysis is ridiculous. Undoubtably some people are, but many aren't.

I have kidney problems, luckily I don't need dialysis (touch wood) but I've seen the toll it takes on people and it's a barbaric treatment.

Goodness knows - telling him to do one from the thread I suspect.

Tom Greatrex MP, has secured a Westminster Hall debate on 4th September on Atos and the WCA.​

 

[equationgirl]

Yes. Former Vice Chair of a Community Health Council back when I was healthy.

I've done research into both dialysis treatment improvements (3 years) and chronic wound healing models (4 years), 7 years in total.

Why not? Does you good to vent!

Better out than in, I say - rant away Mungy!

The Poster We Shall Not Name appears to have buggered off, thank heavens.

Just in case he/she/it is lurking - thanks for adding to my feeling of worthlessness, fuckwit.

No! You are not worthless - your ability to work (or not) does not define you as a person. Don't let anyone, especially that poster, tell you otherwise.

Exactly, well said.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Seconded.

 

[Greebo]

Exactly, well said.

We're human beings, not human doings.

 

[Frances Lengel]

Human doings - Sounds like a euphamism for number twos.

[zippyRN]

I wonder if Zippy would apply for a HCP post with ATOS?

why do you wonder that ? to be honest the package offered by ATOS is no better than the NHS and seems to be rather more confrontational especially if people who are attending for assessment have be hyped up by some of the stuff that is being said by those with political motivations against this ( despite the fact it was NuLabour initiative)

 

[Frances Lengel]

Zippy, baby, you've yet to offer a satisfactory explaination as to why you feel moved to persistently try to derail a thread that's there solely to offer advice and/or support to those undergoing ATOS medicals.

Go fuck yourself you shiteweasel, report that.

 

[Frankie Jack]

Go fuck yourself you shiteweasel, report that.

Ditto from me too.

 

[Mephitic]

Ditto from me too.

And me.

 

[equationgirl]

And me.

[equationgirl]

Zippy - for your constant attempts to derail this thread I hereby award you the Atos Spunktrumpet trophy.

Now please stop posting on this thread, if you want a debate about the WCA suitability or to spout the party line, go somewhere else.

Go ahead and report me

Sweetie, please take the fucking hint and go away. Or start your own thread where you can play with your friends. This isn't the right thread.
