Fightback against the DWP [www.servitudecomplaint.org.uk]

Our fightback against the DWP started at 12 noon today with the following release..please share widely…

PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE

IF YOU ARE DISGUSTED BY THE “COMPLY OR STARVE” METHODS BEING USED TO FORCE PEOPLE INTO WORKFARE….

Now’s YOUR chance to strike back!

http://www.servitudecomplaint.org.uk contains a letter that has, today, been sent to every single Chief Constable, Police & Crime Commissioner, selected news outlets for syndication, the Electoral Commission, the Leader of the Opposition, Michael Meacher MP, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and others, including the PCS Union, to which many of the Job Centre staff belong.

The letter deals with a matter raised in a press release received from Hampshire Constabulary on 22 February this year, in which it was reported that a Polish national had been sentenced to six years imprisonment for keeping people in servitude. This man enticed his fellow countrymen to come to England, where he forced them to live in substandard accommodation, appropriated their wages and left them with insufficient money to live on. By means of threats he kept them under his thumb. You can see the press release at the link given here.

What this man was doing is no different to the methods being employed by the Job Centres to force people to work for money which is already legally theirs by threatening to withdraw it if they do not obey – the “comply or starve” method. This is legally classed as forcing people into servitude (see the press release) and the fact that the Polish man was sent down for applying it to people has set a legal precedent that MUST now be applied to every single Job Centre clerk who has ever sanctioned a job-seeker; to every Atos employee who has ever caused a disabled person to lose their benefits by deliberately mis-assessing them in accordance with the internal targets exposed by Channel 4 and the BBC; to every Job Centre director and government Minister who has been complicit in the implementation of this illegal policy.

The ongoing commission of this crime was reported to Hampshire Police via a PCSO on 22 February. It is now the 26th and has been no response from Hampshire Police. The general distribution of the complaint and its various attachments has therefore been the next step in the process.

YOU can now help this process if you will be so kind, by visiting the link and following the instructions on the main page. As you will see there are several ways in which YOU can add YOUR voice to the call for the perpetrators of this ongoing crime to be arrested and charged according to the law.

Thank you for your interest. I have been Writing For Justice. I hope you will be willing to copy and share the letter and its attachments.

Please copy and paste this message to your own wall so as many people as possible can become involved.
