Thanks to Saint Francis of Assisi for having granted me a miracle of my cat Creep being born, living and dying at my home and for giving him a long life of more than 18 years. He loved the fresh air, relaxing and my caress. I’ll always remember him and appreciate his tender soul and friendly company.

This graffiti appeared overnight at 5 different job centres in Birmingham.
It’s referencing the increasingly harsh benefit sanctions in the UK which are punishing disabled people in particular.
Claimants who cannot work due to severe disabilities or chronic illnesses are being categorised as “fit to work” in order to meet targets and are not being given enough money to survive.
The majority of people who legally challenge their benefits sanctions or ‘fit to work’ decision have them overturned, but only after months without the money they need.
Estimates generally put the number of people who have died in the last few years directly due to benefit sanctions in the thousands. These include people who have died of starvation, exposure, because they couldn’t afford electricity to keep their insulin cold, or because they couldn’t afford treatment, among other things.
The DWP has even sent letters to people declaring them fit to work when in fact they have already died from their illness.
Fuck the DWP and job centres.
Good job, whoever painted these!

voting the tories out is critical.
