Well, it seems that vlogging is the new blogging. Here are 3 videos that have been made by members of our writing team in the last few days.
This time last week I posted BenefitScroungingScum's first video. Here is number 2:
And number 3:
A couple of days ago Blu did a "day in the life" twitter diary which Incurable Hippie turned into a silent video:
Finally, it's not a vlog, it's a clip from his live TV show last Friday. But Paul O'Grady on the subject of cuts is worth a watch:
Parts of that last video have been transcribed by The Guardian's MediaMonkey, but I'm afraid not in its entirety.
Campaigning against the government's distressing war on disabled benefit claimants. All posts represent the opinions of their respective authors and not WtB as a whole.
How can we speak out to this govt who refuse to hear us! Will they see these films.
ReplyDeleteI am SCARED STIFF!
I dont think they care if I live or die - And I do not want to die - But I store meds, because I see no other way.
I dont feel like I have any strength, I feel like I am a nothing to them.
I will never bother to vote again because they are all liars - I am ashamed to be British, where they will give more toother countries than the people who were born here - They will spend more on bombs to killothers than they will on saving the lives of their own disabled people - I AM ASHAMED TO BE BRITISH
The cuts will man I wont eat, wont be able to pay my bills for heating. The cuts will mean they will lie about me and say I can work while my health deteriorates more and more until I can take no more and I end it for them - The ultimate saving eh cameron - You wont have to pay a penny for me!
I am sick of them saying ATOS will know if a disabled person can work or not - They dont know abotu neurological conditions, they do not know about unseen conditions. They do not care for us - They come in and out in less than ten minutes and they get £100 plus for that ''work'' then they lie on a bit of paper and its all rubbish as all the person is is a piece of meat to be moved through their system.
If DLA only has 5% fraud rate - WHY IN GODS NAME are they throwing off 20% of people????????????
That just shows that this Govt are not thinking straight and that they see all disabled people as nothings. We are PEOPLE we are HUMANS - And just because we are disabled - we still have feelings and we still need to feel like we are not animals!
You cannot have one benefit for all - As we are not all universal - Some of us are disabled! Some of us are not! Some of us have children some of us do not - WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT
Stop wasting money on silly ideas and instead - Improve what you have instead of throwing away humans like trash.
Honestly I no longer feel like a Human I do not feel valued, I do not feel that I am deserving of being valued. I feel like nothing, I feel like an annoyance to this world and that the normal people dont want me here because I am a stain on their oh so perfect society. The Govt think I am nothing and they want me to sod off and disappear so they dont have to be confronted by me. All I am is a stain on the society pages. Disabled people - Are just worthless nothings
