In a recent post I complained I’d run out of words to describe this government’s actions:
I’ve got a problem. I’m running out of words.
I used the word outrageous when the government decided that cancer patients on chemotherapy would now have to undergo ‘fit for work’ tests or face having their benefits taken from them.
I used the word disgusting when people who were officially designated by doctors as disabled, including registered blind people for example – started having their benefits taken away from them because they were told they were fit for work.
I used the word terrible when the government decided to make the unemployed work for free for private companies like Tesco’s and McDonalds.
So please tell me. What word am I supposed to use now the government has decided that the permanently disabled and the terminally ill (yes- that’s terminal, as in dying) will have to work – without any pay – for those same big companies?
Fortunately, I got lots of suggestions in the comments. I’m sure I’m not the only one struggling to effectively describe what the coalition’s doing, so here’s a list of all the suggestions. Unfortunately, I fear we’re going to be needing all of them before this government’s finished with us.

How about ‘unelected’ seeing as not a single person voted for the Con-dem Party!
Labour won the last election, they just didn’t have a big enough majority.
The Liberals made a big mistake backing the Tories – this will not be forgotten!

Most of these terms are applicable to people who are perceived to have some shred of humanity about them. Where another species comes into conflict with human needs for survival, we call them vermin.

You should use all of them. It is quite a mouthful but I reckon you would get the message across before you even reached the end of them. I would love to see this at Prime Minister’s question time. How does the right honourable feel about the assertion that his party is a bunch of ?
