Eee you are bugger. I'm from oop north, I have family around that area... it's an in joke that they are not from yorkshire. Did you ever feel like you were being wound up on purpose in that thread? Or was it lost on you?
Anyway, Nazis chose to kill
disabled people, the benefits system chose to kill
disabled people, they just went about it a different way. I don't know how more simple that can get, likening one to the other, even if it is not swatzi wearing full on fascism.
That is but one example of how the benefits system has been "likened" to nazi fascism. At one point 9 sick and disabled people were dying every day before they got any help from the system, it is debateable how many of them died as a direct result of this, but a % of them did, needlessly! Obviously some died because they are ill, duh, but any % is too much when it comes to the ones who killed themselves etc over being mucked around (Yes I know someone this happened to, they had had enough and topped themselves). The extra shame on the system, is that that systematic abuse of people who were 10000% entitled to their benefit actually COST more money than it saved, so it was hardily a cost cutting excercise, was it? And this was all put in place by IDS, so it is hardily a giant leap to say, "well IDS must be a bit of a fascist then, right?". I can totally understand and grasp that line of though anyway. I imagine you could if you had experience of the same.
