POVERTY in Britain under Tony Blair - Blunkett is failing

DAICUK | 17.10.2005 19:49 | Analysis | Social Struggles | World

A series of original reports including the rebuttals of the lies being put out this past week against the poor in Britain by the DWP 'Secretary of State' David Blunkett and by the so-called Opposition Tory MP Edward Leigh , Factual evidence ce fo how DWP has been violating UK laws and international and Universal human rights laws against the involuntarily poor in the UK under Tony Blair

Is David Blunkett up to the job of even running the DWP let alone reforming ‘welfare and pensions’?
Evidence we have uncovered in England show the DWP is a mess and it is the DWP that has been committing the real fraud that allegedly amounts to ‘astronomical’ figures, the term misused by Tory MP Edward Leigh when he did a typically fraudulent job last week of attacking lawful claimants and people in poverty in Britain.


The consequences of these illegalities by the DWP and by the Ministers are bound to be far reaching and worrying for the whole of British society.


A composite piece based on agency files and other sources and as carried on the Scotsman website on Monday 17 October 2005 read as follows: -

Mr Blunkett "is focusing on the serious job of reforming pensions and welfare," said a spokesman for the minister. "He is not going to be distracted by these false allegations and innuendoes."

Let us then focus on Mr Blunkett’s ‘focusing on the serious job of reforming pensions and welfare’.

A reasonable interpretation of that claimed focus would mean that Mr Blunkett would by now be aware of the case of a man in his 50s who has been subjected to years of harassment by the Department for Work and Pensions through no fault of the man himself`?
After all, the man’s case is one of the most well known ones within the DWP!

The man is legally eligible to benefits because of ill health.

There is no assertion even by the DWP that there is any doubt about the man’s eligibility on health grounds.

Yet the DWP have stopped the man’s benefits.
