(not satire – it’s Cameron’s Britain!)
There was good news today after bad local publicity pushed the DWP to reinstate 7-year old leukaemia patient Tommi Miller’s disability payments – ending months of his having to rely on foodbank handouts to survive:
Cancer sufferer Tommi, 7, had benefits stopped forcing parents to use foodbanks
Just before the good news was announced, however, staff from the local job centre – which was responsible for the decision to starve Tommi – destroyed a sign by protestors publicising Tommi’s plight:
Banner supporting Tommi Miller’s family torn down by Job Centre security staff
This is the reality of Cameron’s Britain today – news about starving 7-year-old cancer patients goes largely unreported while tax-evading billionaires telling us who we should vote for is splashed all over the front pages.
And remember.
At the peak of austerity, Cameron gave the UK’s 300,000 richest households a tax cut.

It’s good news that public pressure has forced the DWP to reinstate the little lads disability payments. But you can see the malign, grudging attitude towards even this by the destruction of the protest sign. I posted a piece about the Millers’ plight when it first appeared, and am glad that this story has resulted in some positive action for the family.
As for the destruction of the banner, this is similar to sign someone from Atos hung up outside their offices during the anti-Atos protests a few years ago ‘Fit Enough to Protest, Fit Enough to Work’. All the competent, sympathetic and decent people have just about vanished from the DWP, leaving only the incompetent, the bitter, the misanthropic and hate-filled.
