<p>On Monday 2nd of March 2015, there were demonstrations in over 30 towns and cities around the UK (plus Toronto) against Maximus, the US based health insurance corporation that has taken over the contract from the French IT Company Atos to administer the Work Capability Assessment on behalf of the Department Of Work And Pensions. Atos announced its exit from the contract in early 2014 following an intense period of direct action against the company by groups such as <a href="http://dpac.uk.net/">Disabled People Against the Cuts</a>.</p><p>The day of action was timed to coincide with the first working day of the new contract, with the spotlight turned on Maximus as well as the continued use of Work Capability Assessments and the life-threatening consequences of the ongoing government attacks on the sick and disabled.</p><p>In central London, to the chorus of <a href="http://youtu.be/cW0Zr8lsJ3Q">"David Cameron is a W*****" (YouTube)</a> activists from DPAC hit the streets, taking direct action to block traffic and at one stage bringing traffic to a standstill on Victoria Street in the shadow of Big Ben.</p><p>The demonstrations across the UK on the streets were complemented with an online Twitter campaign using the hashtags #Maximarse and #ScrapWCA, the latter trending for a number of hours. This gave the opportunity for those unable (including through sickness and disability) to make it to demonstrations to vent their anger and frustation around the Work Capability Assessment and at a government hell-bent on targeting the sick and disabled.</p><p><strong>On the Newswire:</strong> <a href="/en/2015/03/519688.html">Maximarse is more than a farce</a> | <a href="/en/2015/03/519686.html">Mental Health Resistance Network Statement</a> | <a href="/en/2015/03/519667.html">Wrexham joins National Day of Protest Against WCA & Maximus</a></p><p><strong>Other links:</strong> <a href="https://johnnyvoid.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/huge-success-for-campaigners-as-rage-against-maximus-explodes-onto-the-streets-across-the-uk/">Johnny Void</a> | <strong>Video:</strong> <a href="http://youtu.be/j93_Dp0j0LE">Maximarse the Movie (YouTube)</a></p>2015-03-05T23:42+02:002015-03-05T23:42:00+00:00BirminghamCambridgeHealthLiverpoolLondonOxfordPublic sector cutsRepressionSheffieldSouth CoastUKWalessolidarity collectiveenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Attack on The Casa

As this particular case demonstrates the violent tendencies of even the more high-profile BNP members, anti-fascists on Merseyside have been following it very closely, and will continue to do so until a verdict is reached.2009-09-05T14:11+02:002009-09-05T14:11:00+00:00Anti-racismLiverpoolSocial StrugglesPhilenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Vestas Profits Announcement - Solidarity Protest at Vestas HQ
