DWP Chief Mel Stride planning to be the new Dr Death?

Mel Stride at the DWP believes work can transform lives - well only if it pays enough! Cue a new assault on the sick.
Right, so as many regular viewers will know I have a bee in my bonnet when it comes to attacks on the disabled. I’m an unpaid carer, life has been made stupidly hard for families like mine with disabled family members in them, it’s why I make vids these days like this one and am incredibly grateful to all those who have supported me to keep going, because actually when it comes down to it, if I were to boil my personal experiences down to one defining trigger moment that gave birth to this entire enterprise, it would be the war on the disabled first enacted by the original Dr Death, with his work will set you free mentality, when in reality Tory reforms to out of work benefits, sickness benefits, disability benefits have driven people into their graves. The work capability assessment that decides whether you can afford to live or not, the tick box exercise conducted by an outsourcing company more often than not and equally more often than not conducted by somebody without the foggiest about your health conditions or disability. A faceless somebody further up the food chain then makes a decision based on the report sent by said assessor and you hope to God the odds fall in your favour. For too many it proved not to be the case, for too many they were driven to take their own lives, or the decision proved fatal in and of itself. The other side of it is the sanctions of course. The example I always remember is the former soldier David Clapson who died after missing an appointment at the Jobcentre. A diabetic, he couldn’t afford to keep his fridge on for his insulin. He died of diabetic ketoacidosis. He had just three quid in his bank account and his cupboard contained. I suppose the reason this one sticks in my mind, is because he too was a carer for his mother. When she was put in a home, the state failed him. This country for the long term sick and disabled is like the Hunger Games. It could easily be me or any other number of carers in his position, so many of us in this country, caring for loved ones, unable to work, this video making of mine began as a hobby and has expanded to potentially becoming a career for me now in the situation we’re in, but that makes me exceptionally lucky and I’m grateful to everyone who just watches and shares this let alone anything else. But the reason I’ve begun this video in the manner I have is because the Tories are again coming for families like mine and so many others.Show more

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
