The road to hell leads to the CSJ

Silenced
The pincer movements that were laid down are now obviously clear. A certain think tank in the name of social justice was formed that consisted of cross party members and mps from the three main parties in parliament. This group prepared to devise a method from bring across the ideas of workfare from America where the idea was born during the early 1990s under the patronage of the local Republican Right in that state.

Now of course after a decade we can see the waste laid behind by such and unsuccessful and indeed harmful set of policies that have failed in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and even more disastrously in the UK. Propaganda literature prepared in Milwaukee ended up her with a decidedly Anglicised flavour to it including re identifying new stereo types. The language these social policy reports are written in lack empirical research methods and instead follow a format of debate and argument backed up pick and choose opinions of experts which have become accomplice to supposed expertise.

Either the other party MPs did not fully grasp what they were doing and may have all been indeed well intentioned but given the price, the deaths, the deterioration of health and the penny wise pound foolish approach towards does not even take into account the cost to society in a much longer run over the affects of putting what are essentially sick and disabled person through the hoops to catch the so called “scroungers” and “cheats”. The objectives of helping the disabled and sick are somewhat defeated in the process of killing the patient by administering a cure. The CSJ and the persons associated with it both in and out of power do have much to answer for even if their policies were once well intentioned as it is very clear now with the hundreds of deaths and the worsening of people’s health that this is a pipe dream solution dreamt up by people who can never grasp the economic and social models by them when many others far more able have failed. Playing the mad Frankenstein’s doctor by IDS and his cronies have caused much too much pain already.

Is it not time to admit that this has been a disaster with the lives already lost and the disaster in terms of winnings in tribunals that something is very very wrong with this whole appoach
