Don’t blame the sick for the economy, ask why they are actually sick!

Right wing rag the Daily Mail is blaming those on sickness benefits for the nations economic woes instead of the Tories!
Right, so the Tories electoral chances continue to fall, more and more it looks like Keir Starmer, despite being no different is going to win a landslide at their expense because people just want to look at someone else it seems even if nothing will change, so naturally the Tories go after the long term sick and disabled yet again, aided and abetted by the toxic right wing hack rags, chiefly the Daily Fail, in demonising those who are ill and rather than asking why they are ill, why this is happening and proposing solutions, or holding government to account for allowing this failure in the nations health, instead the blame is laid on those who are sick, implying they are lead swingers, skivers and shirkers and blaming the state of the economy even on them. The Tories will not do a damn thing to help people, engaging in a culture war instead to try and win votes through divide and rule and frankly Labour are no better on this topic either.
Right, so the Daily Fail, if you need to stir the pot and have the national gammonati frothing over their Sunday roasts today, the Fail an always be relied upon to find something for them to blame other than the people actually running the country. Now I could start this by blaming justifiable causes for the economic flatlining we’re experiencing, I say flatlining, it’s not even that right now, we’re in recession, it’s worse than that, but I could blame Brexit, I could blame privatisation, I could blame failure to invest which would generate economic returns, I could blame tax cuts, which restrict government investment, I could blame the rich not getting taxed enough, I could blame the waste on pandemic VIP lanes, I could blame too many vacancies in certain sectors that can’t be filled due to a skills shortage and no training opportunities that people can afford to take up, I could blame prolific spending on failing vanity projects like Rwanda, I could blame arming Israel which has led to interrupted trade through the Red Sea, I could go on and on, I’m sure you can point to other examples of economic stupidity, where cash has been spent, result in not return, stoking inflation and killing off growth, which is itself finite anyway. But no, we can’t have the Tories being blamed for all that as the cause for economic calamity, they need a scapegoat and so the right wing hack machine grinds into its discriminatory first gear and well, we’re back yet again to blaming the long term sick, by basically claiming they aren’t sick at all.
The Fail are claiming the country is now gripped by a sick note epidemic, as if doctors are handing these things out like candy for no reason whatsoever. It’s the longest sick note epidemic in 25 years, 2.7m people claim they are too sick to work and that this is a crisis, a too sick to work crisis, having a massive economic impact because the benefit bill is going to spiral to £90.9bn by the end of the decade and this sounds terrifying however will we afford it?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.
