I am so lucky that I currently do not require the services of what’s left of the countries’ social safety net. Of course that could change for me, as it could for anyone, regardless of current assets. “Nothing is permanent,” as someone once said.
Anyhow, when I read horror stories like the one below I can’t help but ponder that if there was a rocket out of this place to a civilised society on a different planet I would buy a ticket and depart this weekend
Full story, click on link below.
“The basic cost of living is generally higher for sick and disabled people than for the average citizen. This is because of the additional costs of special food, medicines or equipment they might need, extra heating and lighting costs for those who need to stay at home longer, or transport costs for those who are less mobile.
“These extra costs are not luxuries. They are essential to leading a basic life of dignity, and any civilised society should make it a priority to see that people who need this help get it without fuss. The evidence we are publishing here shows that, under the new Personal Independence Payment, too many disabled people are not getting that support, and many are falling into poverty as a result.
