im fucking panicking i cant believe 4000 people have died within 6 weeks of being found “fit for work” by the uk government. we’re being killed and no one is doing anything about it. im not saying this for effect or over-exaggerating, but this is genocide against disabled people. this is 4000 people. this is not even the correct number, this is only within a 6 week period and only the ones that we know for sure. there will be thousands more.

What??? Can someone explain this? I’m really concerned and I lack context.

Basically the head of the Department and work and Pensions, Iain Duncan-Smith is committing genocide against the disabled and working class.

His department under his leadership is making people with mental, physical and other issues seek work when they can’t. He has decreed that benefit claimants are scrounges and worse than shit.

He has an ongoing program to exterminate the weak, vulnerable and disabled from Britain.

Under the Geneva Convention this is classed as genocide.

Iain Duncan-Smith is one of the British politician in support of scrapping the Human Rights act, an act he can be held accountable for his hideous act of Genocide and mass murder.

Please use his full name and the words genocide. Tag them together. Post it on as much social media as you can. This needs to become world wide knowledge and people should feel free to contact the UN, European Court of Human Rights and organisations such as Amnesty International.

We, as in the disabled of Great Britain, need this man, and in fact the entire Tory Government to be removed before they cause all of the vulnerable people of this country to die.

Now you maybe wondering how to help, start by reposting stuff like this, tag it with Iain Duncan-Smith, Genocide and War on the poor. And make it big. Make it so information about this Genocide becomes one of the most found searches on google about Britain right now.

We need this to stop now.

Y'all remember how i spent election night literally crying? This is why.

Ok, so a lot of people commenting on this have been confused about the post saying 4,000 people have died vs. the article saying 2,380: this article gives a better breakdown of the statistics as

A total of 81,140 people claiming Employment Support Allowance (ESA), Incapacity Benefit (IB)/Severe Disablement Allowance (SDA)* died between December 2011 and February 2014, a period of 26 months.

Out of those deaths, 50,580 were claiming ESA. Of that number, 7,200 had been in the “Work Related Activity Group”, which means you are believed capable of “taking immediate steps towards being in work”. 3,720 had been declared “fit for work” after undergoing the Work Capability Assessment (WCA, carried out by private outsourcing companies with contracts with the Dept for Work & Pensions).

The rest of the 81k figure was made up of the 30,560 people who died while on IB/SDA, of which 290 had been declared “fit for work”. This makes a total of 4,010 deaths of people who had been declared fit for work. The “died after being declared fit for work/placed in the WRAG” thing is the important bit; the companies that the DWP pays to carry out these assessments is clearly deliberately & maliciously neglecting the people they are supposed to help, in order to make the govt. statistics look good. DWP staff are being given suicide guidelines. The department has even admitted to having “fabricated quotations from fictitious people supposedly taking about their positive experiences of the welfare system” for a leaflet.

So, sorry to the people saying “it’s not as bad as you think, it’s 2,380 rather than 4,000″, but it’s actually worse.

*SDA & IB are more or less the same thing, the latter replaced the former)

thanks pal!

I’ve read the article linked, but I did not see the 3,720 number being quoted. There was an edit to the article (“The number was 2,650, not 4,140.”), so perhaps it was there at the time.

Regardless, each of these people’s lives matter, and them being declared fit for work, or to begin a program bringing them into work and then dying? That’s unacceptable, and it’s covert eugenics against the disabled.
