You mentioned Cameron seeming to be a bit limp in opposing it and actually campaigning on it originally. Some interesting context

When in fact it wasn't fine, it's just a bigots fever dream

9% say it has benefited the NHS

Are 9% of the UK shareholders of plantir or something? Cunts!

Is it the fault of the people being manipulated, rather than of those doing the manipulating? Fuck no.

Fair point, but there does seem to be plenty who do seem like they should have the capacity to understand, but choose not to.

And as you alluded to, lets not pretend Labour gives a shit about disabled people either (nor that this problem is somehow unique to the UK), so it's not like we have anyone to vote for who will not fuck us over.

True, although if enough people understood they were being fucked, things could change. Like if the Murdoch rags told them (sorry, I'm miserable facetious cunt)

Yeah this is just the first step in removing state support for disabled people. Everything these evil cunts have done from the beginning has been so fucking obvious.

The big society, where private individuals would contribute to things like food banks, while they gut state support. Reducing support for GP practices while incentivising fully private practices to be set up, handing contracts to big American healthcare/insurance companies.

How is this not obvious to people in the UK, or do they know and want the UK to turn into a hellhole?

E: seems the council is about half and half for conservative and labour members, but labour are now just Tories so probably not worth checking...

Unfortunately, people being cunts, this is very open to corruption by pretty power hungry authoritarians. But probably the only viable solution.

The age of consent is 16 in the UK, Saville was also a necrophiliac, and that access to hospitals was used for that, so maybe the BBC seen this as pretty tame...

The whole Jimmy saville thing was insane, he had the keys to mental hospitals. The BBC chauffeured him about, very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.

Saville was great friends with the royals and thatchers government, you'd think the secret services would have known what he was up to... Thatchers home secretary Leon Britton was accused around the same time a lot of others were found out, but Theresa May's government shut that down.

Reading this back, I'm thinking I can't post this it's sounds nuts. Maybe that's how these fuckers get away with it...

Hadn't heard about Pesci, probably playing on his Italian gangster fame, what a twat.
