One Month before Heartbreak

It's a blogswarm!

People's lives will be seriously affected by proposed changes to Disability Living Allowance.

It's reassuring to know that the new government is much the same as the old government.

NOT.

It's NOT reassuring at all.

It's heartbreaking.

How do MPs sleep at night?

Maybe they don't.

If they don't have the same needs (eg: sleep) as ordinary people I suppose they have great difficulty empathising with them or understanding what their lives are like.

Shame on them.

Then hang your head and weep because society seems to have lost its compassion.

Bizarre!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it a little bizarre that three former MPs who are accused of fiddling their expenses are going to get legal aid! It's been reported pretty widely, such as here.

Legal aid is paid for by the taxpayer.

MPs' expenses are paid for by the taxpayer.

MPs are paid a salary that most of us would envy - ooh, hang on, that's paid for with our taxes too, isn't it?

Most peculiar - it's an Alice in Wonderland moment, isn't it?!
