Vox Political‘s friend Jim
Moore is asking for people across the UK to stop and observe two
minutes’ silence at 11am today (December 3), as a mark of respect for
the people who have died as a result of the welfare ‘reforms’
administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Atos and any
other organisation involved in what he described as “this set of
senseless deaths”.
Citizens of the UK have been paying their
respects to the long-term sick and disabled people who have lost their
lives while going through the DWP/Atos benefits process since 2012, when
it was first revealed that 10,600 had lost their lives between January
and November 2011.
Since then, the DWP has refused to provide
any information on subsequent deaths, in spite of several high-profile
Freedom of Information requests.
Please take the time to show your
own respect – not only for the known deceased, but also for (it is
feared) the many thousands whose deaths are, as yet, unknown to the
public.
