Atos healthcare is a joke,you are assessed twice but u only get to see one person IN person. The second time you are "judged" is by someone you never even get to meet.The closest they get to you is your name on their computer screen...... truely shameful.

SORT OUT THE FECKING SCROUNGING IMMIGRANTS FIRST,THEN HAVE A POP AT THE UNEMPLOYED 19 + muppet thats a record
Easy solution, if you are found lying and cheating the system to get more money, no further benefits are paid.
Problem is they cheat the system, then claim again.

Never know you might be able to have enough to have a pint later..........WITH JOHN.hahahahahahah
JOHN, I want to adopt you mate,
Here's a guy who speaks his mind, please or offend. He speaks a whole lot of truth.
Nobody wants to listen to you John because their frightened they might lose sumit.
YOU, that are in employment babble on about cheats and fraudsters and how much it costs you in taxes,
And you stand there and everyone who is unemployed gets tared with the same brush. WELL UP YOURS
Not all of us screw the system, some of us worked for years and paid into the kitty, so we'r only getting sumit back before the fat government bastardos get it.
And so what if someone is screwing the system, if they get away with it best of British to ya, if your caught, well tough at least you tried.
Some people are forced into working and claiming because of low wage they get for working their arses off, Who's to blame.?. Cam-moron thats who.
Trouble with this country/people is you wont stand up to the govenment and say enough is enough, you just sit there and take it up the sky-rocket. So do your work,pay your taxes and stop moaning.
OR grow some balls and fight to get someone in office who will listen and do what the British people want them to do, and not line their own pockets or give tens of millions away to foreign countries when we'r already in the ****.
JOHN i lvs you man. Im with ya all the way.
\most benefit cheats are entitled to benefits but falsely claim more they are entitled ie not declaring a part time job or co habiting, so how will they pay the 2k fine, £1 a week? how is this saving the tax payer money, in fact there is more money unclaimed by people who do not kow what help there is available to them, then the amount that is defrauded each year.

WHERE IS IT??? the goverment spins this crap every year to turn people against each other... fact.... they tell the workers that the unemployed are all lazy buggers and you are paying for them... this gets the workers angry so they start supporting bills etc to punish the poor and uneducated. fact .....there is not enough jobs to go round since our goverments have failed to properly secure our borders... fact.. mps have been failling us all for years and ripping off more money from the taxpayer than any single parent can... people wake up... dont let these sick people who run our country fool you... they are the real bad guys and they are letting all of you think its the young, sick, elderly, coloured, what this country now needs is a real revolution with normal people running the country the rich and powerful have had their chance and blown it big time.....
